A premium mobile logic puzzle game by Honig Studios, up until now known from educational programs. Impossible Bottles follows the story of a scientist, who wants to create an inexhaustible source of energy for all the people in the world. To achieve that, he builds gigantic mechanical golems that produce energy. However, they don't work properly, so your task is to find solutions to all the technical problems. During the game, you visit various locations divided into two zones: the upper zone, where the people live, and the lower zone for the robots. The maps, although they are rather small, vary greatly and e.g. one of them features the Aztecs and their mechanical god, while another is inhabited by ordinary people living in a small house with a crazy tiny robot. Impossible Bottles features beautiful artistic visuals.

As usual for this series, all actions are performed accordingly to music's rhythm. Each action creates a sound and the soundtrack's tempo determines how fast our hero runs and the number of hazards that await him.

A science-fiction rhythm game developed Mad Fellows. Aaero does not offer an elaborate narrative layer, focusing on allowing the player to control a small ship hovering above ground and fight the enemies that appear on the screen. The ship’s movements can be controlled with the analog sticks. The player is tasked with following the precise track and sticking to a white ribbon, which boosts the score multiplier. Occasionally, the player has to face powerful bosses – fighting these foes revolves around weakening their armor and pieces of skeleton. The key to success lies not only in good reflexes and agility but also good hearing, as the gameplay is accompanied by an audio layer – the more aligned with the rhythm player’s actions are, the higher he scores.

We play as the titular rapping dog who tries his best to win the heart of his crush, Sunny Funny. PaRappa is aided by his two friends, cat enthusiast Katy Kat and the chubby bear PJ Berri, in his musical stunts. Gameplay did not change at all and remains the same as in the original game: PaRappa has to do many things to impress Sunny Funny. All of that happens to the beat of music and requires the players to have a sense of rhythm and good knowledge of the game's controls. The biggest improvement introduced by the remaster are the game's visuals, which are now in much higher resolution. The game also allows us to use the DualShock 4 controller as a metronome.
