I enjoy this collection really much, and play many of them regularly using the Android port. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=name.boyle.chr...

Some other similar games I recommend. Feel free to expand, I'm always looking for more!

Slitherlink, same as Loopy, but I prefer the generated puzzles here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ejelta.sli...

Instead of Pattern in the collection, play a variant of picross/nonogram with hand made levels, much more satisfying. Picross3d is similar but 3d, really good.

Sherlock and Honeycomb, two variants of hint games where you deduce what is where. Like "x is to the left of y".

Willa's Walk. Create a loop through rooms, but can never walk straight. All three can be found here for desktop and mobile https://www.kaser.com/mobile.html (they look funky but play well)

Hexcells, a bit like minesweeper but multiple different kind of clues. On Steam, but also a mobile variant called Sixcells. https://store.steampowered.com/app/265890/Hexcells/

https://0hh1.com/ fill a grid with yellow and blue, but never three in a row.

As for a non-constraint type of game, Snakebird is really clever, and really hard. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.NoumenonGa...



Tametsi [1] is also great if you are bored of static rectangular or hexagonal grids.

The authors of that also did https://0hn0.com/ (Oh no!, to go along with Oh hi!), which is also fun.


These are both in OP's puzzle collection, or at least in the android app.


Ah, interesting—they're not in the iOS port, although they both have nice & small iOS apps themselves.


I guess Ohh1 is the same as Unruly. But 0hn0 is not the exact same as Range in the collection. Range includes the extra rules that the blockers cannot touch, and the remaining must be continuous.


Robozzle, while of a rather different nature, is quite wonderful.

Although I have it installed on my Android phone, it can no longer be found on the Play Store?!


I guess Lightbot might be an Android alternative. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lightbot.l...
