Using our logo
- Please use the files as supplied. Don't recolor, redraw, stretch, rotate, flip or crop them, and don't add glows, bevels or soft shadows.
- Leave clear space around the logo, so nothing crowds it.
- The ARCADE BUFFALO lettering is part of the logo and is set in Press Start 2P, so please don't retype it in another font. In running text, plain "Arcade Buffalo" is fine.
- It looks good on Arcade Purple (#381F58), on another solid dark color, or on white with the transparent file.

Slide a soldier any distance in a straight line, trap an enemy between two of yours to send it off to the baths, and surround the enemy general to win. Six short lessons teach it. Then tour the Empire, where a baker in Pompeii promises to have you buttered by noon.

Pull far enough ahead and a start line appears below you; cross it and you've escaped, until he picks up your trail again. Get caught and he tosses you into the powder and celebrates, maybe with a selfie.

Novagon
Match-3 puzzle · In testing · Coming to iPhone, iPad and Android.
In one line: Swap spinning wireframe solids into rows and squares, build blasts, and set off chain reactions across the board.
About the game: The pieces are slowly turning wireframe solids, so you match cubes with cubes and icosahedrons with icosahedrons, in rows of three or squares of four. Bigger matches make blasts that sweep rows, clear areas and set off chains across the board. Reach the goal early and your spare moves turn into a Vector Sweep. Eight original house tracks come with the game. Zen mode and more music are available in the in-game store.
