A Topsy Turvy Life The Turvys Strike Back
Turn the Nintendo DSi upside down! Play as the Imperial Armada out to destroy the Earth Defence Force in this topsy turvy take on arcade shooters!

Tales in a Box: Hidden shapes in perspective!
Discover a new slant on hidden-object games! Using the Nintendo DSi system’s inner camera, you can peer ‘into’ the screen, tilting your head to view a scene from different angles for an impression of real depth. Journey through a fairy-tale world populated by characters from famous folk stories, looking around from all angles for hidden letters and objects. As you collect these, you will meet new characters and form words that reveal new stages!

Puffins: Let's Roll!
The Puffins need your help!  Reunite missing puffin eggs with their mothers by rolling them around 20 levels of fiendish puzzles. Beware of rocks, trees, ice and other hazards as you go. Don't take too long or bump into too many obstacles or you’ll have a cranky baby Puffin on your hands. So hurry up and get those eggs back home!

Advanced Circuits
With a train, a car or a tank, are you ready for a new challenge? This brain-boggling puzzle game will put your powers of deduction to the test. Complete the circuits by connecting squares on the game board with pieces of track. The rules are simple but the challenges are tough with over 60 predefined game boards and even a Free Play mode that lets you play on randomly-generated puzzles of your chosen size.
