Death Drop isn't your typical Windows Phone game in that you are tasked with jumping your gaming character from a perfectly good airplane and guide him to a target on the ground. The gaming concept doesn't sound too off-beat until you realize there are no parachutes involved in this game.

Covy Land has you guiding the rabbit, Covy, across thirty levels of play and help Covy find all...
Xbox games for Windows Phone have fallen on hard times. New releases are all but non-existent on Windows Phone, and Windows 8 releases have dwindled to a smattering of casual games that Microsoft likely commissioned long ago.
