Little Lost Fox’s puzzler, Valleys Between, brings nature and conservation themes to puzzle games in what is without a doubt one of the genres more gripping and visually pleasing titles. Originally released for iOS in 2017, the title just made its Android debut at $1.99, and it’s more than worth it. In Valleys Between, you’re tasked with cultivating a forest for hundreds of years—or as many as you can—while keeping a fox alive in the process. The game is cute with keen attention to atmospheric detail, including music that adapts and responds to your actions. Altogether, the package is a joy to experience every time I boot it up.
