Great name, great game.

Some platforms are level, some are angled, some are bouncy, some swing&#8230; You want to make all the bad guys fall off the screen, while hanging on to the good guys. Tapping a Foozle changes its shape from a square to a circle, and depending on where it is, that&#8217;ll either start or stop it rolling. The fewer times you tap to get rid of the bad guys, the higher your score.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sharonmurphy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/foozleLevel.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-488\" title=\"foozleLevel\" src=\"\/\/www.sharonmurphy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/foozleLevel-300x200.png\" alt=\"Sample Foozle Level\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sharonmurphy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/foozleLevel-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.sharonmurphy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/foozleLevel.png 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For a bit of Friday Frivolity, I thought I&#8217;d share a current favourite iThing app of mine and my 5 year old&#8217;s: Foozle!
