BattleJewels has been made available for Windows and Palm OS. Originally a GP2X title only, it’s the 3rd place winner in this year’s GBAX Competition. The game clearly uses the Bejeweled concept taken in a new direction as commercialized in Puzzle Quest.
It’s addition of gems with different effects, and roleplaying elements which allow for character building make it quite addictive. To quote from its website, “it’s as simple or as complex as you want .. play to clear, play to win, or play to level up and perfect your character.”

Linx is a simple yet challenging puzzle game created using Game Maker. Your objective is to link all of the similarly coloured nodes together. However, as you progress, the number of link pieces you are allowed to use is lessened, and nodes start to get in each other’s way forcing you to think carefully how to connect them.
Click a node with the mouse to select a link colour, then drag across the play area to drop link pieces.
Once you’ve completed the included levels, you can make your own with Linx’s in-built editor. A number of user-created levels are also available from the Linx homepage.

Enigma is a brain-stretching puzzle game similar to Oxyd and Rock ‘n Roll. The aim is to use your marble (controlled through the mouse) to open all matching pairs of the Oxyd stones scattered across each landscape, solving various puzzles and avoiding traps as you go.
Occasionally you will also encounter “meditation” levels where you must control two or more marbles at once, your task being to manoeuvre each one into small pits on the floor.
The game has a large (1000+) library of levels split across various styles so there’s sure to be something for everyone. The download page has links to versions for Windows, MacOS and some flavours of Linux.
