You Must Build A Boat

Despite the slight drop-off toward the end and the low replay value, You Must Build a Boat is a great experience while it lasts. For a good six to nine hours, building a boat will indeed become the most important task in your life. Touch-controlled tile sliding feels responsive, and the tiles clear quickly. Your addiction to this game will burn white hot for a couple days, then drop off after completion.

The short round length and simple, lizard-brain gameplay makes it ideal for either the commute or the commode. Dedicating more attention to it than that may prove to be a bit tedious (not least because of the simple, repetitive music) and the design lends itself far better to touch controls for mobile devices than a mouse, so your better bet is to grab it on the phone and take it with you places.

You Must Build A Boat improves upon 10000000's originally fantastic match-three formula in almost every way imaginable.
