Cut the Rope: Magic
If you ask me, I’d say Cut the Rope was giving Angry Birds a run for it’s money when it had come out. When you first pick up the game it usually is for passing time, but once you get into it and get past the easy stages, the game takes a lot of concentration and a good sense of timing to complete.
