Skaters took over the plaza. A rooftop party is keeping the whole block awake. An influencer meetup is blocking the main square. And Election Day is coming. Congratulations, Mayor: it's your city now. Mayor Life is a political game where every call you make follows you to the ballot box. Pick your mayor, run the city one decision at a time and find out whether voters love you, tolerate you or reelect you anyway. EVERY DECISION HAS A PRICE Street musicians blocking the metro exit. Drone hobbyists buzzing over the park. A small protest forming outside City Hall. Choose your response and watch four numbers move: voters, happiness, public safety and budget. Please everyone and you'll run out of money. Save every dollar and nobody's happy. ELECTION DAY Every term ends at the polls, head to head with a rival candidate. Win at least half the vote for a clean victory. Fall short and you still keep the chair, with a "rigged victory" nobody can prove and everybody suspects. Happiness, safety and the budget take the hit, and the next term starts under a cloud. WATCH YOUR CITY GROW New homes go up and 20+ landmarks open as your terms go by: a stadium, an airport, a hospital, an amusement park, Chinatown and more. GUESS THE POLL Every landmark brings a poll question, like "What percentage of people have had their luggage delayed or lost at least once?" Slide to your guess. The closer you get, the more cash goes into the city budget. CITY HALL QUIZ After your first election, City Hall opens its doors. Challenge a rival mayor to a trivia duel and win money for the city. FEATURES • 100+ city decisions, from beach food trucks to VIP visits • Four stats to balance: voters, happiness, public safety and budget • An election at the end of every term, against a rival candidate • 20+ landmarks to unlock as your city grows • Poll guessing and a City Hall trivia quiz • Choose your mayor and lead your way Mayor Life is free to play and contains ads. In-app purchases are optional. An internet connection is required. Privacy Policy: https://twiceapps.co/privacy?lang=en

About

FireflyForestTrail

Read full description

Firefly Forest is a mystic firefly catching game set in a glowing dark forest. Your lantern emits a colored light — tap the color chips at the bottom to switch between Gold, Green, and Blue, then tap or drag in the forest arena to move your lantern and catch fireflies of the matching color. Any firefly within your 42pt catch radius that matches your lantern color is caught automatically as you move. Each of 50 Areas places up to 34 fireflies in the arena, bouncing off the edges. Catch the target number before the countdown runs out to clear the area. The first two areas use only Gold and Green lights; starting at Area 3, all three colors appear. Occasionally a rare golden firefly glows brighter — catching it with your Gold light awards 50 bonus points. Features: - 3-color lantern switch: tap color chips to match Gold, Green, or Blue fireflies. - Catch radius of 42pt — move your lantern to catch all matching fireflies within range. - Combo system: 2.5-second window, +5 points per extra consecutive same-color catch. - Rare golden firefly: appears from Area 3 with 8% spawn rate, +50 bonus points. - Progressive difficulty: firefly count scales from 12 to 34; time starts at 55s and decreases with area level (minimum 25s). - 50 Areas unlock locally, sorted across 4 pages in the Areas screen. - Offline single-player with no ads, no login, and no in-app purchases.
