Silver Award-winning puzzler Joining Hands lands on Windows Phone 8

If you're looking for an excellent puzzle title to play on your Windows Phone 8-powered smartphone, be sure to check out 10tons's Joining Hands.

In this Silver Award-winning title, you're tasked with ensuring that every member of a cute and cuddly race of creatures - known as the Peablins - is holding hands with one of its brethren.

Sounds easy, right? Wrong! So wrong.

Some Peablins have more hands than others, you see. Oh, and the playing field that you have to drag each colourful character around is littered with various obstacles.

On the other, ahem, hand, Joining Hands is a lot more casual than most puzzle games.

There are no time limits, for example, and there aren't any enemies to contend with, either. That means you can play through the game's 100+ levels at your own pace.

At review, we called the iPhone version of Joining Hands "polished, addictive, and disarmingly sweet" and noted that it's the "perfect puzzling pick-me-up".

Grab it from the Windows Phone Store for £1.99 / $2.49. With both hands.
