Game: My Superkid

Just when you think a Facebook genre has peaked, some developer finds a way to bring it back with little more than a clever twist to the presentation. My Superkid is a take on the virtual pet genre that removes the pets. It replaces them with a fanciful but perfectly satisfying premise where you're either raising or becoming (it's unclear) a child superhero who saves people from whimsical threats by growing golden superpower fruits and playing arcade-style mini-games. Bright and well-designed 2D animations give the graphics, and the game itself, much of its appeal.
