1. Frog Fractions

Frog Fractions is utter insanity, and that's why you really have to play it. It's really… even hard to explain, at least in a way to give the game justice. You're a frog, and you have to eat bugs. In order to do so, you have to aim and shoot your tongue at said bugs so you can eat them. It can be difficult to aim at the bugs, but since they are attracted to the three fruits near the frog, so you can generally aim around there and grab multiple bugs at once. But, you can't let the bugs completely eat the fruits; if you do, your 'Infidelity' meter (essentially a 'Miss' meter) goes up, and if five fruits are completely eaten in one wave, then you lose and have to restart.

Also, after a period of time the fruits will fall from their low-hanging perches, and by collecting them you can purchase upgrades for your frog to make life for the bug eater easier. For example, you can purchase a little turtle buddy that you can ride around so you can get better angles on eating bugs and grab more falling fruits.

All of this sounds terribly generic, and that's sort of the point… but the game slowly introduces new upgrades and mechanics that drive the experience to something completely different. Spoiling it will ruin the fun, so I won't explain how crazy Frog Fractions gets here, but I will say this: Once you upgrade your little buddy, make sure to dive down into the water. That's when the fun really begins.

Oh, and the 'Fractions' part of the game's title? Well, when you eat bugs, you get points, which happen to be fractions. It's certainly unique to have a score like 1,946/228,354… though that doesn't really say much for your scoring abilities. Well, until it decides to change to scientific notation. It's all about the fruit, anyway.
