Navigating a safari can be quite challenging; there are ravenous hippos, cunning crocodiles, and mischievous monkeys who might hurl unmentionable objects at you. All you’re hoping for is to travel smoothly from one point to another without being swept away by the current.

In Step Safari, you’ll stroll along rushing rivers and try to navigate from one water lily to another without ending up soaked. The physics-driven challenges will constantly test your skills, making it crucial to time each step carefully or risk sinking beneath the surface of the water. To add a touch of elegance to your journey, you can accessorize your avian character with charming headgear like hats and crowns!

Experience a challenge to your ethical standards in Bad Credit? No Problem!, an innovative pixel-art game that delves into bureaucracy.
