     * **CollectAllTheStars2**. Demonstrates how to use the Snapshots feature to save game data. The sample signs the user in, synchronizes their data from a named Snapshot, then updates the UI to reflect the game state saved in the Snapshot.

-
-    * **TypeANumber**. Shows leaderboards and achievements. In this exciting game, you type the score you think you deserve. But wait! There is a twist. If you are playing in easy mode, you get the score you requested. However, if you are playing in hard mode, you only get half! (tough game, we know).
-
-   * **SkeletonTbmp** A trivial turn-based-multiplayer game.  In this thrilling game, you can invite many friends, then send a shared gamestate string back and forth until someone finishes, cancels, or the second-to-last player leaves.
-
-   * **BeGenerous** Send gifts and game requests to other players of BeGenerous.
-
-   * **SavedGames**. Demonstrates the used of Saved Games (Snapshots) feature and how to migrate data from the older Cloud Save (AppState) service to the newer service.  The sample allows the user to save/load data from both Cloud Save and Saved Games.
+    * **TypeANumber**. Demonstrates how to use leaderboards, achievements and events. In this exciting game, you type the score you think you deserve. But wait! There is a twist.

-**Note:** the samples that have corresponding counterparts for iOS and web (particularly, CollectAllTheStars and TypeANumber) are compatible across the platforms. This means that you can play some levels on CollectAllTheStars on your Android device, and then pick up your iOS device and continue where you left off! For TypeANumber, you will see your achievements and leaderboards on all platforms, and progress obtained on one will be reflected on the others.
