Mouse About

Mouse About $0.99->FREE Offer expired. Follow us on Twitter so you won’t miss it next time! (App Store)

Mouse About is a fun and exciting puzzle game that requires your little mouse to pick up all the food on the screen before the time is up. The mouse, Marv, can only run in a straight line. You can flick anywhere on the screen to make it run right, left, up, and down. He will only stop when he reaches a food or an obstacle. If Marv runs off of the screen without picking up all the food, then it loses a heart. Losing all hearts will end the game.

Mouse About’s puzzles are generated randomly. So for those that are looking for a walkthrough, you are out of luck. Mouse About’s puzzles are also timed. That means you cannot just stare at the puzzle for 5 minutes before planning your food run. There are also many different environments in the game. Marv can even go diving and pick up sushi underwater!

Why is it Great? With lots of interesting environments and randomly generated levels, Mouse About is a fun and exciting puzzle game that will have you coming back for more.

Lion Pride

Just draw a line to your prey, and your lion will attack it. Be careful, unlike flight control type line drawing games, your prey will run away from you. You must do some thinking before rushing to attack your prey.

When attacking bigger animals, you may have to use more than 1 lion to subdue it. One lion will strike from the front while another lion awaits it as it runs the other way. There are even elephants for you to attack with your pride of lions.
