Release date: June 11, 2015
In this retro arcade-style downhill skiing challenge, you’re afforded the opportunity to speed down the slippery mountain slopes in exhilarating pixelated glory.

3. Jumbl
Release date: June 2015
Jumbl is a unique word puzzle game. Players have to keep swapping letters until they uncover all of the hidden words on the board. In Classic Mode, the board slowly reveals itself, since letters are fixed as soon as they’re in the correct position. Genius mode is tough – players need to complete the entire board before the solution reveals itself. The puzzles increase in difficulty as the game progresses and you only have a limited number of swaps to use. Are you smart enough to find all of the words?
4. Ocean Blast
Release date: July 9, 2015
Ocean Blast is a match-three puzzle game with strategic elements set in a vibrant underwater world. Each level gives you a set number of turns to catch a specific number and species of Fishie. It starts off easy, but as you dive deeper in search of fish that are harder to catch, you’ll need to plan ahead to meet the goal before your provided number of moves run out.
5. LASER!
Release date: June 18, 2015
Laser is a new endless arcade hopper with a simple goal: hop and avoid the lasers! The game uses simple one-touch controls that are intuitive, so it’s incredibly easy to pick up and play. How far can you go?
