4. Jazz Smash
Jazz Smash is sort of like Fruit Ninja, but it’s all about playing to the beat of a jazz song. Random items and musical instruments are dropping in front of you. It’s your job to hit them with a bat to match the beat of the song. It feels really satisfying to sync your swings with the music.

5. 3Box
3Box looks a lot like Tetris, but there are a few key differences that make it more difficult. You can’t rotate the blocks at all and they don’t slowly drop. This means you can’t get them in a better orientation and you can’t quickly slide them into gaps from the side. It’s a lot more like filling in a puzzle.
