If you had dreams to be a bird, this game will make them true. Here you are a Birdie in some sci-fi world filled with robots, carnivorous plants, parachutes, raptors, barbarians, lasers, butterflies, magical doors, hyperspace, etc. You should survive in this world with help of your wings and flying techniques.
The game is flown in third-person view, where you may control a bird moving him/her left or right, flying up or descending down, and flapping the wings. To fly correctly, the bird has to move in the air at a certain speed. Once the latter increases, the bird is handy. If bird's speed drops below a certain threshold, the bird then follows one of the oldest laws of the universe, gravity. Flapping wings enables bird to gain altitude and flying down on the wings increases speed.
The scoreboard on the screen tells you your speed (red = stall), altitude, the remaining time before the night, your life energy (no energy = game over). Flying at altitude for too long will attract predators, give no points, and exhaus

Fraction Munchers is the second math based game in the Munchers series of educational games. Aside from the subject matter, the basic concept is the same as other games in the series. It is played on a grid where the player controls a creature called the Fraction Muncher who has to eat the numbers or fractional expressions that correspond to the statement that is written above the grid. Other creatures known as troggles roam the grid and try to get to the muncher. There are five different ones and they all have their own behaviour and movement patterns. Eating wrong answers or getting caught by a troggle leads to a life being lost. There are four different game modes which decide what kind of statements should appear: fraction types, equivalents, comparing and expression. Additionally there is a combined mode that mixes all.
