Protect the last tree on Earth in Protect The Tree.

Why we picked this?

Protect The Tree is fun for the whole family thanks to its colorful yet reserved art style. You’re able to place six different types of towers along the path to the last tree on Earth. Your fallen enemies will drop coins, which can be used to upgrade the towers and your army between each round. Try to keep the wood-hungry creatures away for as many rounds as possible.

This is good clean fun. If you miss the good old days of mobile gaming, this one is for you.

It only includes three maps.

Go out in search of lost treasure in Blackthorn Castle.

Why we picked this?

Uncle Henry is back at it again. This time he needs you and your newly acquired archeology skills to help him track down a mysterious artifact known to be hidden in the Castle Blackthorn in England. To find the long lost treasure you must pick the correct paths, solve puzzles, and search through old structures with just a tap. A built-in hint system will assist you when you’re stuck, and a dynamic map will ensure you won’t simply go running around in circles.

Blackthorn Castle is about as classic of a point and click adventure game as you can get. Well, that’s if you look past the beautifully rendered forest scenes and passageways, but why would you want to do that?

Going from scene to scene just to get to where you need to go can be a bit of a slog.
