The Regions

If you saw the trailer and your brain started doing cartwheels or kicks or flips or something, you're going to have a good time with this game. Basically you're manipulating colors to match some striped goal state in each level. You're given a few buttons that might shift a color, or expand it, or have it bleed into another color. Holding a button also makes a timer tick down, but as long as you're not moving anything around, you have as much time to think as you'd like. It's really enjoyable all the way through. The early levels ease you into concepts, and if you ever are stuck on a level too long, you're offered a picture of an intermediate game state you can shoot for that should help you finish it. The mechanics are unique, and there are a lot of great trial-and-error moments sciencing out how each of them works. 29 puzzles for the asking price seems a bit steep though, especially when around 5 of them introduce mechanics. Still recommended.
