“Rapid Wars”
In this cool remake of “Asteroids,” you fly a constantly-shooting ship around the screen blasting strange light formations before they catch you and sap your health. Time the collection of power-ups to maximize their efficacy, and dodge those damn orange squares.

“Super Stacker 2”
This game is “Jenga” meets “Snood.” Stack some smiling polygons on top of each other without letting any them fall off the screen. It's a challenging exercise in balance, patience and problem solving. A single level could take an entire class to figure out. Happy stacking.
