Only for the true addicts. aa gave you one game. aa 2 gives you ten, one after another, now in real 3D: shoot dots into the spinning circle, hit the lines, feed four queues into one ring, fill circles from their own lanes, hold to feed, time dots into crossing orbits, thread a dot through the pegs, climb the colour wheels, run the maze, catch the snake. Each one is a true test of skill, focus and timing. Easy to play. Very hard to master. One mistake and it's game over. + 500 handcrafted levels, each one of ten mechanics + One finger: tap, hold or steer + Real 3D, or switch to classic 2D any time + Play offline, anywhere, anytime + Challenge friends and share your progress + Minimalist design, maximum addiction Whether you're on level 1 or level 500, aa 2 keeps pulling you back.
