At some point, developers are clearly going to run out of adorable animals to front their bouncy physics puzzlers.
There are still a few left, though. Munch Time exploits the innate tongue-flicking abilities of the humble lizard to build a game entirely around swinging.
It's as simple and accessible as the myriad other colourful animal-fronted puzzlers on the App Store – tap to move left or right and prod drooping flowers to latch on and whip recklessly through the air.
Initially, it's a game of speed and precision as you use your momentum to swing from flower to flower and reach your goal.
But as the levels progress chameleon trickery adds to the challenge. By swallowing bugs you can change colour and grasp onto flowers of the same hue. It adds an element of strategy to proceedings as you plan your route across a level.
It's a nice idea, but even with three stars to collect in each level Munch Time never really demands much thought. Stages only take a few minutes to complete and their relatively scant number makes for a package that's far too slight, despite its intriguing premise.

Brevity and a lack of challenge take the edge of an otherwise inventive physics puzzler
