This award-winning Netflix exclusive developed by Nodding Heads Games follows the tale of a young girl named Raji as she fights against demons as chosen by the gods. Players will face majestic foes and navigate mysterious ruins on a quest to save humanity against the backdrop of a stunning environment inspired by Indian culture.
The game features six hours of content and plenty of action across breathtaking landscapes and even more breathtaking foes, all without ads or in-app purchases thanks to Netflix.

Sid Meier's Railroads
The classic tycoon game tasks players with laying tracks and maximising the best routes to take to craft their own transportation network on the road to becoming "history’s greatest rail baron". Players will transport passengers and goods as well as gain profits in attempts to buy and expand their industries. There are 16 scenarios to challenge as well, plus 40 famous trains to discover along the way.
The Train Table Mode, on the other hand, lets players engage in a low-key building experience with no time limits and no challenges to compete in, perfect for those who just love a good railroad with no extra fuss.

Otto's Tennis Game
As the title says, the game lets players enjoy a tennis match using simple one-button controls, whether alone versus AI or in a two-player mode with other people. The pixel-art visuals add to the charm of the game as players aim to score more with a 2-point advantage against their opponent.
The game also features different game modes like tennis, ping-pong, arcade, karate and random. It's absolutely free-to-play too, so there won't be any disruptive ads that can throw you off a good game in the middle of a match.

Hot Wheels: Rift Rally
This mixed-reality racing game from Velan Studios and Mattel lets players race through tracks by using an actual RC car in the comfort of their homes. The physical Chameleon RC car, in particular, can transform into digital versions of fan-fave vehicles like the Twin Mill, Bone Shaker, Mach Speeder, Gotta Go and more.
Then, players can set up their race tracks using the physical Rift Gates, or test out their skills in the Stunt Mode to aim for the highest score. The set is available at www.riftrally.com, while the software is free to download from the iOS App Store.
