DOTS & BOXES Do you like puzzle games and strategy games? Then you will like "Dots & Boxes". Dots and Boxes is a pencil-and-paper game for two players. It was first published in the 19th century by French mathematician Édouard Lucas, who called it la pipopipette. It has gone by many other names, including the game of dots, dot to dot grid, boxes, and pigs in a pen. The game starts with an empty grid of dots. Usually two players take turns adding a single horizontal or vertical line between two unjoined adjacent dots. A player who completes the fourth side of a 1×1 box earns one point and takes another turn. The game ends when no more lines can be placed. The winner is the player with the most points. FEATURES: - 3 different board sizes (4x4, 5x5 and 6x6) - Play versus the computer or versus a friend on the same device - Competitive Artificial Intelligence - Multi-language: English, Spanish, French More games: http://www.pegolandia.com

How fast can you find 1 to 100? Tap the numbers in order, as quickly as you can — but they don't sit still. The numbers drift across the screen and bounce off each other, so the one you need is never quite where you left it. Simple to learn. Genuinely hard to master. RACE THE CLOCK Every run is timed to the tenth of a second. Your best time for each level is saved, so there's always a number to beat. FOUR LEVELS TO START Work up from 1–25 to the full 1–100. Each level unlocks when you beat the one before it. GAME CENTER LEADERBOARDS See how your fastest times compare against players everywhere — or just against your friends. THREE STRIKES Tap the wrong number and it flashes red. Three mistakes ends the run. Speed is nothing without accuracy. BONUS LEVELS One optional purchase unlocks four more levels going well past 100 — all the way to 1,000 — and removes every ad at the same time. Perfect for a two-minute break, or for finding out how sharp your focus really is.
