A free lite version of Pogg - a cute game for kids aged 1-8. It stars a little green alien who can do all sorts of things: run, hop, sing, go to the moon, and heaps more! "It is without doubt one of the best games for kids I have seen in the App Store. It is creative and useful, and just plain fun." (iPhone Footprint review) There are 2 modes in Pogg: Spelling Mode presents you with the simple question, "What should Pogg do now?", and allows you to type anything you want. Type in "hat", and you will get a short animated movie of Pogg putting on a hat. Type in "drive a car", and Pogg will do that too! Picture Mode presents all of the Pogg animations as little icons that you can play by simply touching the picture. This works well for kids too young to spell words, and also acts as a dictionary of the different things that Pogg can do. This free version of Pogg is fully featured but with fewer actions than the full version. The full version of Pogg currently has 34 unique actions, covered by a spelling dictionary of a bit over 380 word/phrase combinations. Enjoy :)

Winner of Apple Design Awards 2015! A strategic driving game from the award-winning maker’s of Smash Hit. Does not Commute is a temporal paradox in which you have no one to blame but yourself. What starts out as a relaxing commute in a small town of the 1970's quickly devolves into traffic chaos with hot dog trucks, sports cars, school buses and dozens of other vehicles. You drive them all. Plan ahead. Don't be late. In this small town, discover the characters and their secrets – what world-changing experiment is inventive dentist Dr Charles Schneider hiding? Will Mr Baker quit his job in advertising? What is that strange mask on Mrs Griffin's face? Will Mr Mayfield’s peculiar obsession with Yorkshire Terriers take over his life? Does Not Commute is playable at no cost and free from ads. An optional premium upgrade is available through a one-time in-app purchase that will enable the ability to continue from checkpoints.
