Everyone can have fun playing along. The ways you can play OutOfTime! are endless. With "Just Music" you can play classic games like 'Hot Potato', 'Musical Chairs', or invent a game where music will play for a random amount of time. Note: This game is designed to play music from your device. You can play the game with our default music, but to maximize the potential we recommend you have at least one song on your device. How to Play: Music will play for a random amount of time and players in the game will take turns listing items for a given category.  If the music stops when it is your turn, you lose.  If a player is stuck they can skip to the next topic, but they will suffer a 5-second penalty before they see a new category.  No repeats and the previous player decides if a questionable response is valid.

Gridlings is a clean, modern logic puzzle that's easy to learn and hard to put down. Every board is split into colored patches. Place exactly one piece in every row, every column and every color patch, and no two pieces can touch, not even corner to corner. Every puzzle has exactly one solution, and you can always reach it with pure logic. SEASONAL THEMES Gridlings dresses up for the seasons. Right now it's Halloween: find the pumpkins hiding in a moonlit patch, earn candy, and pick a spooky avatar like the Witch, Vampire, Mummy or Skeleton. HOW TO PLAY - Tap a square to mark it with an X when you know a piece can't be there. - Double-tap a square to place a piece. - A wrong guess costs a life. Lose all three and you start over. - Stuck? Use a hint. FEATURES - Endless levels that grow from relaxing 6x6 boards to brain-busting 10x10 puzzles - A new Daily Puzzle every day, with streaks to keep - Live cups: pick a 4, 8, 12 or 24-hour race against other players online (CPU rivals fill empty seats), or race CPU rivals offline - Scoring with combo bonuses, speed bonuses and personal bests - Assist mode: place a piece and its row, column and neighbors are crossed out for you - Pick your name and an avatar - No sign-up needed.
