About

Save the Arctic

Features
Read full description

Save the Arctic is a cooperative game about melting ice, limited paths, and careful planning. Together, you help two polar bears find food while a researcher removes trash from the Arctic. Each turn starts with a die roll: either you move a figure across the ice floes or shift entire rows or columns. The board is constantly changing - paths appear, disappear, or suddenly become blocked. But the ice is unstable: after each move, it becomes more fragile, creating gaps that can no longer be crossed. Every turn becomes a small tactical challenge. Your goal: feed both polar bears while collecting all the trash. You can only succeed as a team - or lose together if no valid moves remain. Features: • Original License • Cooperative gameplay - win or lose together • Dice-based turns with two clear actions • Dynamic board with shifting ice floes • Melting ice as a core mechanic • Short, compact play sessions • Supporting Game Center with leaderboard and achievements A simple game with clear rules and a meaningful theme.

Panda Rei is a trick-and-collect card game: each turn everyone plays a card, the highest one wins, and you choose which animals to keep for end-game scoring. Build the best collection and you're crowned the new King of Animals. Easy to learn, hard to put down a quick match fits in any break. KEY FEATURES - Solo matches against the AI, for 2 to 5 seats at the table. - Three difficulty levels: from laid-back to ruthless. - Illustrated tutorial that teaches the rules in your first game. - Achievements and statistics to track your progress. - Score Mode: use the app as the official counter when you play the physical tabletop version. - Save and resume your game right where you left off. - Premium "Emerald Jungle" look, with crafted sound effects and polish. - Available in Portuguese and English. HOW SCORING WORKS Every animal scores differently: some reward bigger sets, others punish excess, the Pig breaks ties, the Panda grants a majority bonus, and the Monkey is a wild card in the final count. Knowing what to collect — and when to push your luck — is the heart of the game. NO CATCH No sign-up, no ads, no data collection. Just play. Panda Rei is a game by Ludofun. Design: Rafael Verri.
