With over two hours of HD video, you can explore over 30 3D creatures and habitats. It’s all set to a wonderful soundtrack.

Another Case Solved
There is a candy conspiracy in a city where sweets are being outlawed. As a crack detective, you need to investigate and find out the real reason. To do so, you’ll need to collect clues, track down witnesses and question suspects.
Another Case Solved offers multiple styles of gamplay. Detectives can take on smaller cases to sustain business while you solve the candy crime of the century. Players can customize their office surroundings, which will improve their detective skills.
The game is from Chillingo, a game developer with an extensive app portfolio that includes Cut The Rope. Reviews have been generally positive with a 4/5 star rating. One reviewer says, “This game is amazing. I love the way this game mixes elements of upgrading and customization into a puzzle game. It is easy to learn and play.”
