Tone Master: Put your memory to the test with this musical challenge! Tone Master plays a series of musical notes, each of which corresponds to a specific key. To win, you'll need to play back the melody using your phone's keypad. As the game goes on, the tunes get longer, and the stakes get higher.
Mines: Logic and luck... you'll need a little of both to survive this dangerous game. Starting with a grid of unmarked squares, you begin uncovering the board one square at a time. If the square you choose is clear of mines, you can take another step. If you hear a number, though, step carefully... it means there could be one, two, or even more mines close by. One wrong leap of logic and your next step could be your last!
Fuse Mania: In this game of sound and memory, first you'll hear a series of tones, each one matching a different fuse in a series. Then, one by one, the fuses begin to go out, and it's up to you to replace them. Using the phone's keypad, you'll need to remember which tone matches the fuse that needs replacing. Choose the correct fuse and it's on to the next... but pick the wrong one and it's "Lights out!"
Spider: A spider's life is a busy one, and in this game you play a spider who has worked up an appetite. In each round, you'll hear a beeping noise that will tell you how close you are to a different piece of fruit. You'll use your keypad to find the fruit, and depending on which level you choose, there could be a lot of ground to cover. The longer you take to find it, the slower the beep will go. So hurry... if you wait too long, the fruit will disappear, and you'll go hungry!
