We all know by now that mobile phones and tablets offer thousands upon thousands of fun gaming apps that can be great for entertainment or filling up empty time.
The trouble is, there are almost so many games it’s hard to keep up with which ones are best! So here’s a quick look at 10 great gaming apps being downloaded this year.
1. Peggle
In this game, the objective is to launch a ball at a grid of pegs, trying to eliminate the orange ones. With each new level the grid gets trickier, and you get new capabilities for your ball.
2. Candy Crush Saga
Line up similar pieces of candy to blast your way through various grids as you move through the levels in this addictive game. Just watch out for in-app purchases!
3. Flow Free
In this game, the goal is to connect dots of the same colour on a grid. The catch is, the lines between dots can’t intersect – which means this is a tricky strategy game.
4. Bingo!
Very popular among fans of betfair and other online gambling sites, Bingo! offers the fun, addictive, and simple game played by so many in real casinos. This one’s great for passing time.
5. Minecraft
This game combines creativity and strategy. Your task is to build structures (and ultimately a little world) to keep monsters out, and also just to see what you can do!
6. Bloons TD
Wildly popular online, this is a great little tower defence game. Basically, you control monkeys placing obstacles to stop balloons from running along a track – it’s incredibly addictive.
7. Temple Run
This is a great game to use to compete against yourself. You control a man fleeing through the jungle, and must direct him over gaps, under and around obstacles, and past monsters, all while collecting gold coins to boost your score.
8. Robot Unicorn Attack 2
Another game that was first popular online, Robot Unicorn Attack involves controlling a majestic unicorn to leap over gaps and smash through stars. It’s the style and soundtrack of the game that really make it unique, and this is another one for which beating your own score can really keep you playing.
9. Pac-Man Dash
The latest Pac-Man version for mobile app downloads, this is essentially the same old classic game with a few new twists.
10. Fruit Ninja
In Fruit Ninja, your job is simply to slice pieces of fruit in half as they float up on your screen. As things get faster, and obstacles you aren’t supposed to slice get mixed in with the fruit, it actually gets quite challenging, and even competitive.
