Union is a puzzle game from the "difficulty by complexity" school of game design. I didn't find it particularly appealing. Firstly, regarding the level design: The difficulty is all over the place; there's no difficulty curve to speak of. And difficult levels are difficult not due to interesting puzzle design, but only due to high complexity and level size. E.g. level 49, the final level, consists of 96 tiles. Secondly, the UI is far too minimalist for the mechanics.

Union takes the classic 'rotate the pipes' (or electrical circuit) game and adds a bunch of extra features. Swappable and changeable pieces are new, as is the WiFi broadcast. The game is beautiful in its minimalism, and the soundtrack is both relaxing and upbeat modern synth. I'd be interested in playing it again on my tablet, as the simplicity of play fits that medium as well as home computer.

This is an excellent choice for this price range. While the game starts simple, some later levels are quite challenging.
