1909 S VDB is a penny collection game where the object is to collect all 305 Lincoln pennies in circulation from 1909 to 2020. The odds of getting a particular penny are based on how old the penny is, where the penny was minted, and the quantity produced. When I was a kid, my mom would take me to the bank to buy rolls of pennies so that I could sift through them looking for rare pennies. I would get 20 rolls at a time, hoping to find new pennies to add to my collection. This game is the result of me wanting to relive that experience and hopefully let others experience the joy of coin collecting. I added a few mini games involving pennies where you can try to earn a few more penny rolls if you run out. • Game Center support for Leaderboards. • Play for Free for as long as you like. • Free penny rolls every 24 hours. I hope you enjoy playing 1909 S VDB. NOTE: You may disable in-app-purchases on your device using the Settings application.

Slimbo is a gentle physics game about a little green creature that grows toward candy. Tap to grow an eye. Each new eye links to its neighbours, and the links bend, pull and push like real wood. Build triangles and your creature stands tall; build a thin pole and it sags and topples. Reach every candy before you run out of eyes. • 200 hand-made levels in 10 colourful chapters • Real physics: stones roll, beams tip, rockers sway • One finger is enough: just tap • Stuck? Take five extra eyes and keep going • The game adapts to you: tough spots give a few spare eyes • After the last level the climb goes on • No timers: think as long as you like
