In the game's story, our hero is either arrested, or worse, killed by the police in every page. The player must rearrange the order of the panels to help him escape without a scratch. Later on the panels will have the ability to spin around, which makes things even more interesting and complicated than they already were.

2. Duet Game by Kumobius
Duet Game is an elegant and well-designed game with an incredible soundtrack that will mesmerise you. The plot is very simple: you must protect at all costs the two vessles that are in sync and represent a dance and a song. To achieve this, you must touch the right and left side of your screen to rotate them in order to avoid crashing on white blocks. Of course the blocks are not always still, but many of them move, making it harder and harder to keep the correct pace. The briliant gameplay and music make up for this puzzle game's extreme difficulty levels. You can try it out, but be warned that you won't get far if you don't have enough patience.

You only have a cheap car and some money to survive, but of course you can unlock other vehicles and boost ups on your way. Exceptionally fun and hilarious game!
