ShutterForge turns the world around you into a card game. Take a photo of anything — your friends, your dog, your house, your shoe — and watch as AI transforms it into a one-of-a-kind collectible battle card with unique art, stats, and abilities. No two cards are ever the same. BUILD YOUR COLLECTION Every card belongs to one of six elements and five archetypes. Open packs to chase rares, forge new cards from everyday objects, and fill out a collection that's completely yours. BATTLE YOUR FRIENDS Challenge other players in Slam battles. Pick your best card, throw emotes, activate boosts, and see who built the better deck. Quick matches, real strategy. GO ON EXPEDITIONS Send your cards out into the world on expeditions to earn badges and discover new card powers. The further the journey, the bigger the payoff. BUILD YOUR OWN WORLDS Design custom worlds with their own element, terrain, and mood. Each world gets its own AI-generated art and changes how your cards perform inside it. FORGE YOUR STYLE Unlock tools, card skins, emotes, and cosmetics to make your collection stand out. Equip a Loaded Die to boost your odds, use the Magic Loupe to reveal hidden information, rename your cards, or reforge their element entirely. LEVEL UP WITH SLAM PASS Progress through the Slam Pass to unlock exclusive rewards all season long. The more you play, the more you earn. No two players will ever have the same collection. What you see in the real world shapes what you bring into the game. What will you forge?

Saddle up and ride free! Wild Horses Run Play is a gentle, beautiful 3D horse adventure set in a huge sunny open world. Choose and name your very own horse, then gallop across rolling meadows, leap fences, splash through ponds, and make a whole herd your own. NAME YOUR HORSE & RIDE Pick your horse's coat and name on your very first ride. Then walk, trot, gallop and jump with simple one- or two-thumb controls anyone can pick up in seconds — and switch between a behind-the-horse view and a first-person "on the horse" view. EXPLORE A HUGE WORLD Roam meadows, beaches, forests, deserts, hills, waterfalls and rainbows. Ride through a winding forest trail, visit a friendly village with a market and fountain, watch ducks, deer, rabbits and leaping fish, and find a windmill by the lake. THINGS TO DO EVERYWHERE Play horse soccer, race the oval dirt track, clear the show-jumping arena, weave a slalom, gallop through jump rings, and collect apples and carrots. Hop into a horse trailer and drive the truck to a brand-new place — or ride one of the many trailers cruising the countryside. CARE & BOND Give your horse a drink, feed it treats, let it rest, and pet it to grow your bond and earn hearts. DRESS UP IN REAL 3D Unlock beautiful coats — Amberglow, Midnight, Silverflame, Stardust and more — plus saddles, blankets and bridles, every one shown in real 3D so you see exactly what you get. COLLECT THE HERD Catch wild horses, gentle foals, ponies, donkeys and a sparkling unicorn — each with its own speed, jump, strength and size. Fill your Stable Book and find them all. GROW EVERY DAY Level up your Rider rank as you play, keep a daily streak, open a daily gift, and take on quests and challenges. Take a picture in Photo Mode to show off your horse. CALM & FRIENDLY • Wholesome, relaxing fun with no scary content • No ads • No accounts and no sign-up • Plays fully on your device Coins are earned simply by playing. Optional coin packs can be purchased to speed things up, and are tucked safely behind a grown-up gate. Bring your horses home today!
