Tricky Blocks - Block Puzzle is a physics-based stacking game for mobile. Players pick blocks from a tray of three in any order and drop them onto a growing tower, where weight and friction decide whether the stack holds. A shadow preview shows valid placements, there is no timer, and three lives are allowed before the run ends. It is made by Blue Bag Studios, the brand of Blue Bag Gaming and Publishing FZCO, a mobile game company in Dubai, UAE.
Only If is a surreal first-person puzzle adventure from Creability, an independent studio that was based in Dubai. The game plays with the idea of turning figures of speech into literal, walkable spaces, which gives its puzzles a dreamlike logic. Released for Windows, macOS and Linux, it is an early example of an indie PC game coming out of the United Arab Emirates.
