Business Man was a contract work. It is a small game

by jumping over it, by just tapping at the screen.
The ground is randomly generated but within specific

KNOWHOW 2 (NINTENDO
DS)

KnowHow2 is the second
Version of Bitfield's extended version of the
original „Rush Hour“ game. It is a puzzle game where
you have to get the treasure to the exit. So you
have to move the blocking stones, but they are only
movable lengthwise. So by adding some interesting
features like springs, bridges, magnets, switches
and the new snake stones it becomes quite
interesting.
