THE TOP 20 MOBILE GAMES 20: SKYWARD A very hard game with very few instructions. You have to make your way through the maze-like world using correctly timed taps as the path falls away behind you. 17: CURVY FREE [Puzzle] [Microtransactions] 20 Match the tiles to make a closed loop. Sounds simple, doesn’t it? It may take a while to grasp, and each level is totally randomly generated - no two games will ever be the same. 14: ∞ [Puzzle] [No Microtransactions] Make-a-closed-loop style game, again. It’s calming and relaxing, and a fun little five minute distraction. 18: ROCK HERO 19: ALCHEMY FUSION 2 [Puzzle] [Microtransactions] ALEX WOLFE [Puzzle] [Microtransactions] [Rhythm] [No Microtransactions] One of those element’em-up combination games. You combine elements together to make ever more complex ones. Guitar Hero, but for phones. Tap the icons when they hit the bottom of the screen to increase your score - That’s about it, really. 16: INTERLOCKED [Puzzle] [No Microtransactions] in Interlocked the aim is to separate the pieces in as few moves as possible. Challenging, fun, and with no microtransactions, a steal. 15: CANDY CRUSH [Match three] [Microtransactions] This bright, over the top puzzle match three is very difficult once you get out of the first few levels. 12: WHAT IF…? 13: TEMPLE RUN 2 [Q and A] [Microtransactions] [Endless Runner] [Microtransactions] Remember that bit in Indiana Jones with the boulder? Yeah, you know the one. Play that sequence. What if you had to answer every question truthfully? What would you say? Yes or no? Answer questions posed by the rest of the world. 10: PLANTS VS ZOMBIES 2 11: HASHI EXTREME [Action] [Microtransactions] You connect the islands together with bridges until every island has its required number of links. Like the original, Plants vs Zombies 2 is fun, but flawed. Its downsides are cheap and dirty tactics to coerce you into buying things and giving EA money.
