Bucketz is, basically, a game all about balance. In it, you have to stash various coloured items in similarly coloured buckets that are teetering precariously on platforms.

So, you have to constantly ensure that the buckets don't become unbalanced and topple to the ground. You also have to fight off minions and avoid obstacles.

Levels in Bucketz are dynamically generated every time you play, so you should always have fresh stages to beat.

In King of Opera, you take control of a rather large tenor who constantly spins wildly in circles. Your aim is to achieve fame and fortune by knocking rival tenors off the stage.

You compete in this way against a variety of AI-controlled opponents, but you can also face off against up to three other real-world players from across the planet.

King of Opera, then, is incredibly simple but incredibly fun. Definitely check it out.
