Bubble Fair is a variant of the arcade game Pang. The story involves the characters Inky and Jinky who arrive at a fair when soap bubbles start falling from the sky. The bubbles are the work of the sorcerer ARCphile, who wants to control all the booths at the fair. To stop him from doing so, Inky and Jinky challenge him to a duel. The duel consists of a tic-tac-toe game in which each stall represents a square. In each of the stalls the player has to catch the ice cream that is hidden inside a bubble that blocks the access to the stall. In each stall there are two ice creams that must be taken and when this is done the player wins that square. To win the whole game the player has to win the zero and crosses game four times.
As in the arcade game, it is a platform game with levels on a single screen. Bubbles will bounce and the player's task is to destroy them with the use of a balloon attached to a rope that moves upwards and when hitting a bubble splits it into smaller ones or destroys it completely. The game has power-ups that drop when a bubble is hit. These can have positive and negative effects, such as increasing or decreasing the time or score, giving a shield, additional balloons or reversing the player's movement. In total there are 72 levels.

Bloxed is a Tetris variant that closely resembles the arcade game Bloxeed. The basic gameplay is the same, but it adds several power-ups to the game. These are called power blocks and appear randomly as part of the tetrominoes and are activated when a row formed by one of them is removed. There are four different power blocks: four lines, filler, shooter, bomb and 16-ton weight. Four rows removes up to four incomplete rows from the playing field. Filler replaces the next tetromino with a small alien that the player controls and drops individual blocks. It can be used to fill in holes in partially completed lines. The shooter does the opposite and shoots the unwanted blocks. The bomb is used to blow up a section of the playing field. The 16-ton weight removes three columns of blocks when dropped on the playfield.
The game also features a multiplayer mode in which two players complete side-by-side in a split screen. A special feature of the multiplayer mode is that if a player completes more than one line with a piece, the lines pass to the opponent.
