You're a runaway ball of yarn, and the thread you leave behind is the one thing that can end your run. Hold to curl, release to roll straight, and thread your way through tighter and tighter tangles. Yarnboy is a one-thumb arcade game about nerve and timing. The longer you last, the more thread you lay down — and the less room you have to move. One clip of your own tail and it's over. How long can you keep the yarn rolling? FEATURES • One-thumb controls — hold to curl, release to roll straight, double-tap to pounce • Easy to learn, genuinely hard to master • Collect yarn balls and spend them in the shop • Optional rewarded videos for a second chance or bonus yarn — never forced • Global leaderboard — sign in with Apple or Google to compete • Daily Tangle: a fresh challenge every day • Play fully offline as a guest — no account required No pop-up ads. No paywalls. Just you, one thumb, and a very long thread.

Sky Peck is a flying game you play with your whole body — no buttons, no joystick. Prop up your phone or tablet, step back, and spread your arms. The camera watches you flap, and your parrot takes to the sky. FLY WITH YOUR ARMS Flap to climb. Lean to turn. Tuck your arms to dive. It's the closest thing to actually flying — and it gets kids up off the couch and moving. EXPLORE A PAINTED WORLD Every sky is rendered like a living impressionist painting. Glide over rolling meadows, thread a serpentine canyon run, and skim mountain ridges as the light shifts from morning to dusk. COLLECT, PERCH, EXPLORE Chase trails of fruit, coast in to perch on treetops, and find your way through each world. Crash into a hillside? No game-overs here — you simply rewind and try the line again. BUILT FOR THE LIVING ROOM Plug into the TV, stand back, and the whole family can watch one kid soar. Works great solo on an iPad, too. MADE FOR FAMILIES - No ads, ever - No in-app pop-ups - Plays fully offline - Your camera stays on your device — pictures are never saved or sent Spread your wings, Sky Pecker.
