As an entry into the rhythm genre, B-boy Beats is indeed fresh, but its perfectionist style of gameplay may ruin your experience.

A score based game where your touches create paint blobs that will encompass all as they grow until they smack into a paint barrier. That's entirely what's on offer here.

Tiny Token Empires combines elements of Risk and Puzzle Quest to make a very satisfying strategic turn based experience.
