Cosmo Bots

Cosmo Bots takes its cue from the addictive classics Jezzball and Qix. However, that's where the similarity ends, because Cosmo Bots has different shapes for each level, 3D rendered graphics, digital sound, new enemies, and tons of power-ups. The free version features a full set of 50 levels to play, and does not require any special hardware. In Cosmo Bots, you try to fill areas of a board by sending out lines in opposite directions from your bot. You can choose to send these lines out either horizontally or vertically. Once you have boxed out an entire section, it fills in. The goal is to fill in a set amount of the board. With 577 levels there is plenty here to keep you playing for a long time.

Cactus Bruce And The Corporate Monkeys

Cactus Bruce and the Corporate Monkeys is, first and foremost, hilarious. You play a one-eyed pirate cactus (!) defending your home, Foster Island, from becoming a banana republic (Bananas Foster, mmm yummy!...) under the domination of Hollabanger Corporation and its army of Corporate Monkeys (who try to conk you on the head with coconuts). So, you must defend your home from this corporate takeover at all costs! Smack those monkeys before they smack you! Fortunately you have a unique weapon - a 1 ton claw machine - and several helpful friends such as Billy the Elastic Blowfish and Marvin the Explosive Snowman.
