Come Play In The Dark! Dark Assault is a retro-inspired arcade defender built around touch and vibration first. There is no classic visual battlefield—no ship sprite, no scrolling starfield of enemies you chase with your eyes. You read the fight through audio cues, strong haptics, and a minimal HUD, then react with touch or tilt. Defend your position against waves of invaders, dodge incoming fire, and chase a new high score as the assault ramps up. Optional training silhouettes help you map cues to positions while you learn. Choose touch or tilt, dial in difficulty, and swap sound themes to match your mood. Designed with accessibility in mind: sensory-first presentation, clear audio feedback, expressive haptics, and flexible controls so more players can enjoy classic arcade tension without relying on a busy screen. Features: Haptic-first combat feedback—feel hits, locks, and waves on supported devices Audio-led gameplay with selectable sound themes HUD-focused playfield (no traditional ship-and-invader graphics) Touch and tilt control options Multiple difficulty modes, including training-friendly pacing High score chasing Optional support purchases for players who want to help fund future updates Dark Assault is easy to start, challenging to master, and built for players who want old-school intensity through sound and feel.

Can you find the animals that belong together? Pick The Pack is a simple, accessible animal sorting game designed especially for toddlers and preschoolers, but anyone can play! It is built around clear pictures, spoken instructions, and easy-to-understand choices, so no reading is required. Listen to a request, explore the animals on screen, make your choice, and confirm your answer. Choose between two ways to play: • Levels: ten rounds that gradually become more challenging, with more animals and different groups appearing together. • Free Play: no levels, just keep picking animals for as long as you like. Meet 50 animals across five groups: farm animals, jungle animals, water animals, flying animals, and dinosaurs. Animal names can be spoken aloud, displayed under each picture, or both. Pick The Pack includes highly customizable accessibility settings: built-in voice guidance, VoiceOver support, optional spoken and displayed animal names, a dyslexia-friendly font, high contrast, reduced motion, adjustable speaking speed, voice encouragement, vibration feedback, and separate controls for sound and music volume.
