Those Games

Those Games and Those Games 2 each consist of 250 levels across five different game modes, each based on various minigames depicted in mobile game advertisements. After each level, the player is ranked on a three-star ranking system based on time taken to complete the level, which go towards increasing the player's IQ rating and unlocking further levels. Achievements are earned based on completing all levels in a game-set, and by getting three stars on each level. Coins earned from the game allows players to unlock titles and plates for their customizeable nameplate, used for online leaderboards. Those Games Extreme has 155 levels (including tutorial levels) consisting of more challenging versions of minigames featured in previous entries.

Cash Run: (25 levels) – the player must traverse a course while collecting stacks of banknotes. The player must then use the stacks as building blocks to circumvent obstacles in the course. Further levels introduce differing obstacles such as spike traps, traffic cones, and gambling using probability.

The game is developed by Osaka-based studio Monkey Craft, who are known for previously having developed Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series, as well as leading the Reroll remasters of both Katamari Damacy and We Love Katamari. The game took eight months to develop, and was worked on by a group of 15–20 people.

The AV Club lauded the "Pull the Pin" minigame, but stated that, although Those Games is initially "a genuine kick", ultimately the ideas of the other minigames are "just not robust enough" to merit a full game.
