Escher, it’s a collection of impossible-architecture puzzles, which you twist to explore. It’s a really good game, mind: inspired by the art of M.C. Monument Valley really is beautiful though, almost as much an artwork as it is a game. The word “beautiful” is hugely overused in connection with apps: usually it means “has nice menus”. And one last reminder: NOT a free-to-play hater! I could (and likely will) happily compile a list of 20 freemium favourites that won't leave you feeling cheated.
