This game isn’t silly at all. It’s a fantastic little time killer that takes the classic snake, adds puzzle bits and a paints everything in cute retro-style graphics.
You may finish it in a few hours or less, but it’s totally worth a try and it’s free.
I recently installed this gem again. One of the best games for Android, and in my opinion the best game from Zeptolab, the authors of the original Cut the rope.
It takes ideas we’ve seen before and mixes them with new ones. All of this dressed with graphics, animations and sounds that are a joy, and levels designed wonderfully.
As I always say, a good game should have an interesting gameplay, responsive controls and well designed levels. Pudding Monsters has it all.
Ultraflow is a simple game where you throw a disc by a swipe of your finger. The goal is to make the disc bounce walls and objects until it gets to the target hole before running out of allowed hits.
Some levels are really easy and some you will complete by trial and error because there’s some randomness in this game.
You might finish the 100 levels in an hour or less but it’s worth trying. After all, it’s free and a nice time killer.
Classic shoot ’em up that surpised me because it’s wonderfully crafted and perfectly adapted to mobile devices.
Control is smooth and well thought; I especially like the option to drag from any point so the plane is not under your finger. Also, when you raise your finger the game slows down and that’s very useful when you need move your finger to other point, or to take your eyes off the screen for a couple of seconds, or just think of a strategy to accomplish your objectives.
Each level has 4 aditional objectives (medals) that you can achieve besides just finishing the level. If you get the four medals you can replay the level at a higher difficulty and get more medals (you need a number of medals to play advanced levels).
With the stars that enemies drop you can upgrade your weapons. Most weapons are infinite but 3 of them are limited: laser, shield and megabomb. Besides upgrading, you need to spend stars to buy units of those limited weapons, or collect them when an enemy drops one.
Although sometimes there are a lot of things on the screen it’s fairly easy to distinguish what you have to avoid (enemies and bullets) from what you can collect (stars and weapons).
All in all a perfect game you can play for free. Or pay a little to remove ads, which I did because Sky Force totally worths it.
This game is not new and I already wrote about it on my previous blog but I started to play it again recently and I thought it’s one of the best games for Android so I had to post it here too.
Where’s my water is very original and perfectly executed, with tons of fun levels and expansions as in-app purchases or separate games like Where’s my Perry or Where’s my Mickey.
Another of those simple and hard games. Looks like an indie game but comes from a well known company.
Reminds me of Whale Trail. It’s awesome how a one button game can have such a complex gameplay thanks to the mechanics of the airplane.
This is my favourite pinball game on Android and iOS (I actually played it on iPad first).
It has only one table but it’s very well designed and the physics are great. Reminds me of Pinball Illusions but with real physics and in 3D.
There other pinball game I like is Zen Pinball, which is superior in some aspects: the ball physics may* be a bit better (and you even see how it rolls), there are many tables (in-app purchases) and you can select many camera perspectives.
But Revenge is still my favourite because for a phone (or even tablet) I prefer a clean and sharp design. And the table is very fun, with missions and nice voices and sounds.
* I think Zen has a more polished physics, but it is also true that, in some way, the ball in Revenge feels more real, more solid. Maybe because of the way it moves or the feedback sounds (rolling, hitting, etc).
Anyway, both games are awesome and totally recommended.
This game is easy and short, but it is so wonderfully designed that I’m sure you will like it as much as I did. Even if you complete it in less than an hour, this hour will be a joy.
If someone releases something like this but with a bit of difficulty, it would be totally amazing.
This game must be a classic already. The execution is perfect: the isometric design, the variety of levels, different types of control, the useful mini map, 8-bit sounds and music, … A masterpiece.
This game has been a nice surprise. It’s very original, simple and fun. Just draw a path with your finger and watch the path repeat itself and pop the bubbles. Highly recommended.
