Atlantis Sky PatrolAtlantis Sky Patrol – In this visually sleek steampunk/art deco inspired orb shooter, you’re a member of Sky Patrol on a mission to confront the threatening weapons that were unleashed upon earth. You must disarm and dismantle these devices before it’s too late. While the game reflects the greatness of the original game of this genre, Zuma, it manages to add its own originality in game play as well as in theme. 100 levels. Download it

Magic StonesMagic Stones – Magic Stones is a game based on Celtic mythology and is a unique mix of fantasy role-playing games with card games. Set in the land of Aravorn, where players can find various hidden treasures in the darkest, most menacing places and where druids are challenged to duel to the death every year in the Black Tower, play three different styles, choose from 20 different avatars, each one with his unique skills, and brave the 17 different spells, and over 15 total enemy druids.

TrijinxTrijinx – Trijinx takes place in a popular game setting: Egypt. The game follows the story of Kristine Kross, an international adventurer who is on the trail of her archaeologist father, recently gone missing in an Egyptian tomb. Accompanied by an orange cat named Bast and her fez-sporting Professor, Kristine winds her way through a labyrinthine maze solving colorful puzzles to break a curse that has fallen upon her dad. Rotate a circular board to assemble same-color tiles, which then disappear once matched. This unlocks doors progressively bringing her closer to the ancient gates. Unearth secrets, save Kristine’s dad and play through 68 levels. Download it
