We talk about the family drama that goes on in the living room, the kitchen, and (ahem) the bedroom, but how come we don't hear a peep about the casualties that pile up in the bathtub? That's right: even as you lazily surf the Internet, your bath toys are fighting a war for supremacy. Gameloft's Shark Dash is a rubbery physics-based puzzle game for iOS and Android that shines a light on the ongoing battle between the household's squeakiest residents.

Last year, General Fleece and his herds of sheep fought back packs of marauding wolves in Saving Private Sheep, a physics-based puzzler for iOS. The wolves have all gone home, disgraced—but the canine appetite for mutton is insatiable. Now the foxes are on the move in Saving Private Sheep 2, and they're looking to make a snack out of General Sheepard (we see what you did there, Bulkypix) and his faithful rams and ewes.
