For those who enjoy a more lighthearted approach to gaming, Stem Stumper offers 20 levels of fun. The goal is to find fertilized acorns and create paths for Mimea, a vine, to grow. But watch out for the angry acorns! They will try to block you! This game has the sound and feel of the old video arcade games of the 1980’s and is just as addictive.

This unique audio game requires only sound and motion to play. The soundtrack is so detailed that VoiceOver is not needed. If you like challenging reaction games, then Aurifi is a great choice. We should note that it requires headphones to play since movement clues are provided by the stereo sound.
