Ad-Free Games is an ever expanding library of games in one app, made for kids with absolutely NO ads, NO tracking, and NO internet required. Pick a tile on the main menu: HOLE (free) — You are a hole. Swallow a living 3D world — a night city, a forest full of animals, or a snowfield — and gulp down rival holes. Four modes, including Infinite. Eight colours and a sprinkled Donut are free; the Arcade Pack adds Unicorn, Princess, Rainbow, Mermaid, Kitty, Fairy, Dragon and Starry holes with their own trails. ARCADE PACK (one-time purchase, shared with your family) • SHACK ATTACK (NEW) — silly monsters are marching on your shack! Blast them off the porch with seven fantastical blasters, from the Boom Blaster to the Frost Wand and Buzz Hive. Build a Roof Blaster, Storm Rod and Fix-it Gnome to defend the roof, and watch for the ones that fly. Thirty levels plus Survival. • MONSTER TRUCKS (NEW) — a side-scrolling race to the finish. Hold gas, hit Nitro, launch off ramps onto floating high roads, bounce over rocks and mud and beat the pack. • NEON ROAD (NEW) — tap to swerve down a glowing neon highway. Dodge the blocks, grab the gems and see how far you can go. • TOWER STACK — tap to drop the sliding block onto your tower. Overhangs get sliced off; land it dead centre for a Perfect. Chill mode for little ones. • POCKET PET — adopt a pixel-art puppy, kitten, bunny, turtle, dragon or fox. Feed it, bathe it, play mini-games for coins and decorate its garden. It naps while you're away. • GEM SWAP — a match-3 with a hundred levels. Four in a row makes a blaster, five a rainbow gem, an L a bomb. Plus a Zen mode with no moves and no clock. • ROAD HOP — tap to hop, swipe to dodge. Cross roads, railways and rivers and unlock thirteen characters. Chill mode for little ones. • BLOCK BURST — drag pieces onto the board and fill rows or columns to burst them. Endless Classic, or a hundred levels with three stars each. • MANCALA — the classic stone-sowing game with glowing glass gems. Play the computer on three difficulties, or pass the phone to a friend. • STACK SMASH — a carnival knock-down. Fire the cannon and topple every tower of cans before your balls run out. • TINY TOWN — your own pocket farm. Harvest, sow, bake bread, milk the cow and deliver orders. Crops keep growing while you're away. • FRUIT MERGE — drop glowing fruit and match two of a kind to grow the next one, all the way up to the melon. Three difficulties. • COLORING — a coloring book and drawing pad: 55 pages in 9 themes, crayons, markers, stickers, and your own photos turned into coloring pages. • SPACE SHOOTER — drag to fly, grab power-ups, and unlock new ships with the coins you earn. • SNAKE — slither around a bright arena, eat orbs to grow and slice smaller snakes. Three difficulties, eight colors. • CONNECT 4 — drop glowing discs and line up four against a computer that plans ahead, or two players on one device. • TIC TAC TOE — three in a row on a neon board. Easy, Normal or Hard, or pass the phone in 2 player mode! • NEW GAMES — any new games we add to the library will automatically be included if you already purchased the Arcade Pack. WHY PARENTS LOVE IT • No ads. No pop-ups. No "watch a video to continue." Ever! • No tracking, no analytics, no accounts, no sign-ups. • Works fully offline and private. • One optional purchase through Apple, with Ask to Buy for kids' accounts. No subscriptions, no coins. • A grown-ups-only gate in front of the purchase and every link out of the app. • One sound switch for the whole app, for quiet time. Made by a parent who was tired of their kid getting blasted with ads. NINETEEN calm, fun, ad-free games. That's it.
