I love the fact that one of the world’s most lo-fi games, which requires nothing more than intellectual cunning and a packet of Swan Vestas, has been translated into a video game.

So you can now play with matches and not get burned, although trying to solve the deceptively simple-looking challenges could fry your brain. There are 150 match-based tasks in total that, while they don’t dazzle with complex graphics, offer puzzle fans a genuinely taxing, if somewhat unexciting, time.
