Memory Match is an educational memory game. Compete against the computer to see who can find the most pairs. The player finds pairs of cards by flipping them over two at a time. This was actually pretty fun to work on. This is my first iPad game published. You can find Memory Match in the iTunes store.

My First Movies: Animal Antics is both my first iPhone app and also my first Unity 3D app. You can download it from the iTunes App Store.
