Balls Battle Arena is an original arcade game, very easy to handle but with a great depth of play. You control a vehicle that automatically picks up balls nearby, and you automatically shoot close opponents. Use increasingly powerful bonuses to help you in your battles, be smart in your movements, and throw out hundreds of balls! Two game modes are available: - Battle Royale: the main mode. You have one life (at the beginning) and must be the last to survive. Advance from league to league, improve your vehicles, and unlock all the items of the game. - Training: a free mode to train your vehicles and earn extra coins.

MicroPets Runner is a classic side-scrolling endless runner where players dodge monsters and obstacles as they move faster and faster through the various maps, collecting coins along the way. One wrong move means starting all over from the beginning. Power ups are available in the shop or collected throughout their run, slowing down time with the snail, using the shield to avoid all obstacles or picking up a magnet to ensure not a single coin is missed! Featured are six stunning environments, each with its own obstacles: Snow, Desert, Jungle, City, Factory & Space! MicroPets Runner is built by Cubix, an award-winning development studio.
