This game was created by the brother of the creator of Boxed In and is just as challenging as Boxed In. In Relix, you move boxes featuring ancient symbol together, they disintegrate. Placing the matching symbols together will require lots of brain power.

Dark Nebula combines the rolling mazes of a labyrinth with the excitement of a pinball game. However, this game goes one step further by incorporating futuristic scenery and robotic arms and machines that make your ball move around the screen. It’s a very creative game that is fun to play.

This is a simple-looking game where you move your red ball down a series of moving platforms. It sounds easy, but don’t let that fool you. Falldown is one of the most engaging games around and requires quick thinking and quick tilting of the game to keep your red ball from being squashed.
Falling Balls

Falling Balls is one of the funniest-looking games around, using nothing but black-and-white tick figures and balls. The object of the game is to stand or run to an area where the falling balls of all sizes will not hit you. See how long you can last!
Jelly Invaders
Price: $2.99; Infinite Dreams
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
This game reminds me of a cross between Pixar’s Aliens vs Monsters and the classic arcade game Space Invaders. Jelly-like aliens monsters of all shapes, sizes and colors are dropping from the skies and it’s up to you to stp them. Fire missiles from your cannon at the bottom of the screen and blow up the aliens one at a time. It’s cute, colorful and very addicting.
