where they can gather resources to expand your village. Small is beautiful in

challenging puzzle game. The catch? Fire only burns upwards. So you’ll have to
madly tilt and turn your phone to keep the flame alive. - “Chickens Can’t Fly” You’re a corporate scientist assigned
to see what chickens are capable of, answering critical questions such as: Is
there life after the butcher? Are chickens afraid of ghosts? Does frozen chicken
get dizzy?

“Collapse!” returns with award-winning gameplay, all-new customizable
characters, and fantastic new foes. - “Gravity Guy” In a world where gravity laws were broken, a brave guy

job: guide him through a world of impossible mazes, flipping gravity at
will.

get a load of country life. Manage a wild and wacky farm by growing grass,
feeding chickens, collecting eggs and taking your produce to market. - “Fight Game Rivals” Become the king of kings among tournament
fighters around the world. Enter different tournaments on distinct locations,
earn credits and unlock devastating attacks and skills.

and sad faces, and by rotating or shaking the phone. - “Orbital” An addictive puzzle game that challenges you to destroy as
many orbs as possible.
- “TextTwist 2” From Game House, creators of “Bounce Out” and
“Collapse!”, comes a more cerebral challenge: How many words can you form in
two-and-a-half minutes with a handful of random letters? Figure out the
combination with the most letters and move to the next level. - “Toy Soldiers Boot Camp” Wage war on a tiny scale with four fun and
addictive shooting gallery mini-games from “Toy Soldiers: Cold War”.
