Italian Parking by ElectroKidd is a 3D puzzle game for Wii. You need to guide your car out of a stucked place in as few moves as possible.

Bubble Train is a action puzzle game which is a clone of a really old arcade game. The game is a spin off of the Pop & Drop or Frozen Bubble type game.

Bubble Train as the name suggests is a train of bubbles travelling along a track where the last carriage is the driving force instead of the front one. The bubbles come streaming along the track trying to reach the end of the line. You are equipped with a bubble firing cannon, where you fire bubbles into the trains. When there are 3 or more carriages of the same colour they explode and the train shrinks. So you must blow up all of the carriages in all of the trains before any train reaches the end of its track.

This new release tries to fix sound issues reported within the initial version from yesterday.
