Cool Running

In this game, a cute penguin must complete missions to reach its destination!
It is a very charming game, indeed '-')/

Still, the poor penguin may fall down the cliff at any moment,
so you must try your best to build its path!

This game has 5 different themes and 100 levels ^^

As shown above, there are two ways of building the path for the penguin.

The user can choose the way by using Options ^^

The first method is to drag a path for the penguin to follow!

The second method is to directly touch the desired angle (up, down, left, right) at each turning point to build a path.

Since I’m quite slow,
I chose the dragging method instead of creating the angles for the penguin ~~!! Ha ha!

There are many options that help the penguin move in between the games.
There are 14 types of these options.

I’ll be showing you a couple of them!

As you will see in the game,
there are many obstacles blocking the penguin from reaching its destination.

That’s when you should use these options to move on to the next level!

Since such options are available,
you should try your best not to let the penguin fall down the dangerous cliffs!

You might find that the penguin moves more quickly than you expect! T_T

You can also choose the theme of the penguin!

You can move on to the next theme by clearing all levels in a single Age!

As I mentioned earlier, there are 5 types of themes!

The themes are the ICE AGE, SAILING AGE, WESTERN AGE, SPACE AGE,
and SECRET AGE! :-)

Let me show you how to play.

When the penguin is about to make a turn to reach its destination,
you have to place a 'triangular box,' as shown in the capture screen.
Then, the penguin will move according to the direction of the triangular box ^^

You have to think quickly about where to place the triangular boxes,
since the penguin will move more quickly than you expect!

I recommend this game to people who would like to experience some simple thrills of game play with a cute little penguin, since winter isn’t over just yet :-)

UFO Holic

UFO Holic is an arcade game in which a lonely alien must abduct Mogs, a life form from the Green Planet, which is similar to Earth, to create its partner alien.

The game is divided into Campaign Mode, Rush Hour Mode and Nightmare Mode.

Campaign Mode is the story mode, in which the user can play in the two different styles of daytime and nighttime.

In daytime, the great Mother Ship floats above the skies with the Mogs running around on the streets.

Touch a Mog with your finger and draw a line to an opened gate on the Mother Ship so the UFO can abduct the Mog.

In nighttime, touch the Mogs on the streets and use shockwaves to fling the Mogs into their respective holes.

Rush Hour Mode is the unlimited mode of the daytime of Campaign Mode, whereas Nightmare Mode is the unlimited mode of the nighttime of Campaign Mode.

The two unlimited modes are opened only after the player reaches a certain point in the Campaign Mode story.

There are 6 continents in Campaign Mode, with each continent having 8 different stages and 1 special stage.

Each stage proceeds in alternating daytime and nighttime modes, and the user moves on to the next stage by clearing the current stage, and moves on to the next continent by clearing the current continent.

In daytime mode, the user must use the UFOs abduct the Mogs from the streets, as described earlier.

Touch a Mog with your fingertip and drag it to a gate of the Mother Ship in the sky to guide a UFO to abduct the Mog along the directed path.

At this time, be careful to avoid a collision between the UFOs. When there is a collision, one life is lost.

After 3 lives are lost, it is game over. The color of the medal differs according to the number of lives remaining upon clearing the level.

Try collecting gold medals by clearing the level without losing any lives!!! +_+

The Mogs appear in different colors and shapes, so the user must abduct Mogs of the same color as the gate color.

Generally, the Blue Mogs have a basic speed, whereas the Red Mogs are abducted quickly and the Yellow Mogs are abducted slowly. Each type of Mog has different characteristics.

There are also various interference factors that enhance the entertainment value of the game, such as resisting Mogs, Mogs on balloons, Mogs floating down on umbrellas and many more.

Also, there are various types of UFOs, including the Charismatic Skull or Mysterious Starfish, which appear to help abduct resisting Mogs.

In nighttime mode, the user must touch the Mogs around the streets to fling them into wormholes.

A frequency gauge is at the top, and indicates the number of times you can fling the Mogs. The gauge decreases with each touch, and recharges as time passes.

Failure to fling the Mogs into the wormholes within a certain time or hitting the phase cannon will explode the Mog, which means that you lose one life.

Just as in daytime mode, the user must absorb Mogs of various colors according to the colors of the wormholes, and there are various interference factors such as spheres, phase cannons and protective shields to add to the entertainment value of the game.

You can also achieve combos by consecutively abducting or flinging Mogs of the same color in both daytime and nighttime modes. You gain coins by achieving combos.

The coins that you gain at this time are used for upgrades that greatly help with the game play, such as increasing the number of gates or wormholes, or reducing the probability of resistance, so remember to achieve combos to earn coins!!!

Also, achieving combos charges the combo gauge on the top. When the combo gauge is full, special gates or wormholes are created, such as Shiny Gates or Shiny Wormholes that let you abduct Mogs regardless of color, so remember to shake your phone when the gauge is full to make your games easier!!!

The more stages you clear in both daytime and nighttime, the more types of Mogs and interference factors appear to add to the fun of the game, so don’t give up if you get one Game Over. Hang in there! ^-^

Since you gain coins by playing well, you can use them to make upgrades when the games get too difficult!!!

Finally, there are 40 Achievements available to collect during the games, which add more fun.

This is all there is to the simple, yet highly addictive UFO Holic.

UFO Holic is currently listed in the App Stores of a number of countries, including the United States, Hong Kong and Japan (excluding Korea). It is supported in Korean, English and Japanese for user convenience.

UFO Holic

UFO Holic is a game in which you are an alien, invading the Green Planet.

Put fear and chaos in the hearts of the [Mogs] living happily on Green Planet.
Fly countless UFOs over their cities and abduct them.
Create worm holes in midair, and toss the Mogs inside.
Your faithful UFOs will bring them to the mothership.

They will scream, fall in mayhem and resist, but you don't care.
You are the great alien invading the Green Planet.
Abduct all [Mogs] on the Green Planet and conquer the world!

Features

1. Gameplay method is different in day and night.
In the daytime, UFOs abduct the [Mogs]. UFOs will move along the route that you draw for them with your fingers.
If you are careful to avoid UFOs from colliding with each other, you will be able to eradicate the stupid [Mogs] from their city.
In the nighttime, UFOs take care of the [Mogs] that survived the daytime. Create a massive wormhole in the sky to throw the [Mogs] into.
Be careful, as the terrified [Mogs] sometimes explode.

2. Various types of UFOs appear in the game.
New UFOs will appear every time you conquer a continent.
There are even UFOs that can perform mind control on the [Mogs], and magnet UFOs that can recover metal.
These special UFOs will help you in your conquest of the Green Planet.

3. [Mogs] of various colors appear in the game.
The Green Planet is infested with [Mogs] of various colors and shapes. They have different characteristics, weight and behavior patterns.
Some [Mogs] soar on balloons, while some slow their fall with umbrellas.
Still, they are all potential targets for abduction. You must neutralize their resistance and trample their city.

4. 10 Upgrade Parts
You can upgrade your mothership in order to efficiently abduct the [Mogs]. Use the space coins that you obtain for excellently abducting the [Mogs] to upgrade your mothership. The [Mogs] will tremble in fear at the sight of your mothership.

5. Combo System
You can gain additional combo gauge for consecutively abducting [Mogs] of the same color. When the combo gauge is completely charged, you will be empowered beyond time and space. Demonstrate the overwhelming technology of the aliens to the uncivilized [Mogs].

6. Rush Hour System
The [Mogs] are going home from work. Countless [Mogs] pour out onto the streets. The UFOs move around in mayhem, and may collide at a higher rate. Rush hour exists in a different time phase for each stage, with the difficulty rising at a steep rate.
Still, you are not a nice alien who will let the [Mogs] go home that easily, so you will be able to clean up the streets easily.
