SpongeBob Treasure Quest (Book Description
SpongeBob's Treasure Quest is an exciting game that combines the strategy of Sudoku with the tactics of Snakes in the rich undersea world of SpongeBob SquarePants.
SpongeBob has stumbled upon maps to hidden treasures that are buried throughout Bikini Bottom. It's up to you, with a little help from Patrick and Sandy, to guide SpongeBob through the deep to uncover the treasures for the Krusty Krab. Solve the first 50 levels, and you will enter unlimited mode and play for as long as you can survive!
There are clues to the number of treasures in each row and column, so you can deduce where the treasures are likely to be. Guess right, and you get the treasure. For each wrong guess, a plankton will start to follow you around the board. Lots of wrong guesses will mean a very long tail of plankton. Don't run into any of the plankton while looking for treasures!
SpongeBob's Treasure Quest has both Novice and Advanced modes, and your progress will be recorded in a High Score table. To keep the game fun and fresh, the levels will be different every time you replay them.
Plankton and his cousins are right on your heels! Will they grab the treasures for themselves and the Chum Bucket?
5 in a row ($0.99), by DQ Team, looks like one that the entire family can play.Book Description
Five in a Row (also known as "Gomoku" or "Connect 5") is an abstract strategy board game, which is easy to learn but hard to master.
Players take turns placing their marks on a 19x19 board. The objective of the game is to place five marks in a row. The first player to have five unbroken marks connected diagonally, horizontally or vertically wins the game. While similar to tic-tac-toe in some ways, the larger dimensions of the board and longer string requirements open up many strategic options. 5 in a Row also requires much more tactical awareness, as many more possible victory conditions are in constant play. You play against Kindle, and can adjust the difficulty level to easy, medium or hard.
If you like exercising your abstract logic and attentiveness skills - this is the game for you!
Snakes Basic ($0.99), by Applications InnovationsBook Description
Snakes Basic is a game where you control a constantly moving snake to capture pellets.
The object of the game is to collect as many pellets as possible before your snake runs into its tail, or into a wall or other stationary object. This wouldn't be so difficult, except that with each pellet collected, your snake will get longer and possibly faster! Good luck not running into your tail now!
The game comes with three difficulty modes (Easy, Medium, and Hard) that determine the speed and growth rate of your snake. The use of the 5-way controller to change the snake's direction gives the game the feel of a classic hand-held arcade game.
If you like challenging retro-style video games, Snakes Basic is for you.
