In this colorful, family-friendly game, you play as an animal DJ -- a Retro Rabbit, Funky Frog or Techno Tiger -- whose goal is to catch underwater creatures called Monomals by playing music into the ocean. Use your deep water fishing gear, create your own music and listen to your playlists during your fishing adventures. Play 21 courses with dozens of challenges, collectibles and power-ups. 

Mosaic

Mosaic is a narrative-driven, atmospheric adventure about the repetitive monotony of everyday life and feeling like you're just a cog in the machine. With no sense of meaning, your character lives in a droll, gray world where the same thing happens every day. As your days become a blur of anonymous crowds and meaningless phone notifications, strange things begin to happen, and suddenly everything changes. 

Super Mega Mini Party

Publisher: Red Mini Games

Compete in eight challenging multiplayer minigames where you can challenge four friends or online players in party mode. You can also work on your skills and level up in solo training mode.
