Are you hindered by a limited data plan or moving to places that can't connect to the Internet? For whatever reason, sometimes you'll be offline, but that doesn't mean you'll definitely get bored, stuck somewhere without the Internet.

7. Drop7

This creative puzzle game is like a mix of Tetris and Sudoku. The rules are very simple. You have a 7 × 7 grid, filled with white balls or numbers on it, from 1 to 7.

Whenever a numbered ball is in a column or row of the same number of balls as the number on it, the ball is deleted. If the ball is deleted next to a white ball, the white ball will crack, then burst to reveal a numbered ball.

The goal, like Tetris, is not to get the balls to the top and score points while doing that. The game is simple, but the fun to challenge is endless. Everything except rankings can be experienced offline.

Another puzzle game with a beautiful interface, Mini Metro, allows you to build your own mass transit system. Using maps of real-world cities, you can draw your own routes to connect different stations.
