UFO on Tape: First Contact gives you a chance to explore how you might react if an alien spacecraft came down out of the skies. Be brave, grab your phone and start recording (minus the tinfoil hat) as you race across the countryside after the intergalactic visitors.

Takeshi & Hiroshi

Publisher: Oink Games

Puppet animation meets RPG in Takeshi & Hiroshi. You play as Takeshi, an aspiring game designer who's building a game for his little brother Hiroshi. Hiroshi plays quickly, so Takeshi has to improvise, since the game is still in the making. As the game progresses, making sure Hiroshi enjoys the game but still finds it challenging becomes a challenge in itself. 

Guildlings

Publisher: Sirvo Studios

In this story-driven episodic adventure, you'll set out on a digital quest with your friends to reach a mystical mountain temple. Fight off goblins, ghosts and coffeemakers with a conscience (You read that right: coffeemakers). Don't forget about saving the world. A magical phone is all you need to trigger the adventure. Guildlings is a casual fantasy tale that adds nostalgic elements from classic RPGs and older point-and-click puzzle games.

Marble It Up: Mayhem!

Publisher: Marble it up

Marble It Up: Mayhem! is a fresh, digital spin on vintage marble games. Roll your marbles through challenging and elegantly rendered campaigns.

Sociable Soccer

Publisher: Rogue Games

Investigate a lonely roadside diner at the end of an abandoned highway that the locals say has lost its color. Solve puzzles around the desolate locations and restore color to the once-vibrant world.
