In this game you must stack animals on top of each other to form a tower when all the animals have been used you win the level, however if it falls down you lose. As the player progresses through the levels the more animals they will have to stack and the less time they will have to stack them. They can stack animals in any order however putting larger ones at the bottom will give the tower a more solid base.

Multiplayer: You and another player take turns stacking the animals one at a time. When the stack is complete you will get another game of either easy, medium or hard. The player who stacks an animal that causes the tower to fall down loses.

Different types of animal groups like desert, rainforest, polar and even mythological creatures can be used.

You can get gems from each level and use them to unlock new levels or animal groups.

Fog is a first person horror game where the player is lost in a swamp after being dared to go in by friends and can't find the way out. The goal is to get out of the swamp safely without being killed by the monsters that reside there.

If the player spends too much time in the thick fog their fear level will start increasing, making it harder to move and causing them to breathe more. When the player starts to hyperventilate it makes it easier for the monsters to find you, so you need to find a place that has mild fog and hide until the character calms down. Dead bodies, monsters and shapes in the fog will increase the fear meter and cause the player to breathe heavily.

The player can't attack the monsters but they can throw objects at them to slow them down or block their path. There are abandoned towns within the swamp so you can hide within them but don't stay for too long as the monsters will close in on you.

There are many notes and clues around the swamp that hint at why there are monsters in the swamp and what happen to the occupants of the towns.

The player can only save once they have found a relatively safe place, so no saving when near monsters or in the middle of a panic attack.
