Music Catch 2 retains the simplicity (sound, graphics and gameplay) which made the original so appealing, whilst adding new songs, levels and a few subtle new features.
The aim, as before, is to move your target around the playing area, collecting as many of the shapes which appear as possible, whilst avoiding the red ones. Each level last the length of a song (which impacts on the frequency that the shapes are released). You will progress the level no matter how few points you gain. After each level you will unlock new songs, shapes, patterns and motions from which you can create your own levels. Your progress will be retained next time you visit the site.

The aim and gameplay of Microbe Kombat is similar to flow. You
are a microbe, which searches for proteins in order to make
yourself grow. As you grow you also receive action abilities such
as split to multiply and create allies, of which you can use
another action ability to change control.
As you get bigger you can also eat any opposing microbes,
which are smaller than you. The same is true of your larger
enemies, who can eat you, making the game quite tactical in terms
of timing and choices. As you progress you will come across
virus’, which can infect you. Once infected your number of action
abilities will be cut, and can prove fatal.
The game is pointer controlled with your microbes following your
cursor movement (no dragging is necessary). To select the action
buttons you left click on the boxes down the right hand side of
the screen. Pause is the ‘P’ button. Microbe Kombat has simple
controls, which lends itself well to various pointer control
methods including eye and head control.
