Android/iOS Games

I know it may be blasphemous to mention this on a hardcore gaming forum ;) but I actually really enjoy playing games on my cell phone these days. I much more often have 10-15 minute bursts of game time rather than the usual 30 min to a couple of hours needed to really get into a console or even handheld game.

The games I play the most are:

Cut the Rope. The objective is simple and innovative and makes for some really challenging puzzles. I also like how the mix it up with a new feature in each box.

Plants vs. Zombies. This is fun take on the tower defense genre with several different power ups to make each level a unique experience. This game can get pretty challenging too.

The Room & The Room 2 - This reminds me of those old school adventure titles where you must use the objects around you to solve puzzles. Both games are excellent.

What are your favorite games for the cell phone platforms? Anything you can recommend me based on my tastes?

Lazer Puzzle was a nice distraction for a few weeks and I recomend it if you like puzzles

Flow was good but after a while the solutions become very predictable
Their only down side is that theyre not very graphically polished

I currently have a 131072 tile on 2048 (in practice mode)
There was once I time where I three stared every level on four different versions of Angry Birds

and upon reading this thread I went to check if Hoggy was available for the Android and huzzah it finally is!

I played Flow and like you I enjoyed it until it got predictable and repetitive.

I have this cute little word game called Wordly that my friends are absolutely in love with. Whenever I'm around (and my iPad Mini is always with me) they ask to play it. It is pretty fun, but I would hardly say that it was addictive. They can't get enough of it!

Here's a picture of it.

Ingress: An augmented reality MMO GPS game. You walk around IRL, capturing pieces of public art or local landmarks (portals) and link them together with keys to create triangular fields, claiming territory for the faction you're a part of. It's good exercise, and a fun way to meet other people and explore your city.

It's consumes a massive amount of data and battery though. That, and some stalking/camping tactics from some opposing locals in my area have blunted my interest somewhat, so I'm not terribly active anymore. I still participate in the big organised events and farm items for the newer players.

QuizUp: Trivia game where you're paired up against a random player and take them on in a topic of your choosing. You earn experience by answering correctly and quickly and beating your opponents, and if you're really into a topic, you can check yourself out on the global and national leaderboards.

I was ranked first in the world in Final Fantasy for about a month before I was overtaken by some people who I suspect paid for XP boosters. :(

Flappy Bird: Yeah, I haven't uninstalled this. :D

Jetpack Joyride - I think I have spent more time on this than any other game in the last three years. Any time I get a spare moment I give it another couple of plays. I'm only a couple of hundred feet short of getting to 10'000 feet so I have to keep playing until this happens.

Everybody install this and then connect to Facebook and then add me on Facebook. Don't be scared by the "Angry Birds" in the title, this is a genuine RPG.

I play Grand Theft Auto or SNES roms when I have too much time in the subway. Is that weird? Other than that I play Smash Hit sometimes.

63 is still pretty respectable! Just ask MissH what her score is.

I got a bit obsessed with it for a while but I'm stuck on 299. Can't believe I was only 1 short! Not played for a while but I'll have to try and pass 300 at some point.

I generally default to never connecting anything to facebook. I've blocked enough people and posts from their troutty games that I'm unlikely to ever go down that road without some foreknowledge that it won't piss off everyone I know.

AFAIK Angry Birds Epic doesn't spam Facebook. The reason you connect to it is so the game auto-adds friends who are already playing and then you get extra items and access to their birds. Rovio is probably the most tolerable "casual game" company I think.

Re: the opening post - my favorite mobile games are Doodle Jump, Flappy Bird, and most Rovio games (the Angry Birds games, Bad Piggies, etc.) There are a couple others I have tried as well but they got uninstalled quick for being battery hogs.

Also re: the opening post - anyone who hates on mobile games can get out; these games are great for something to do when you're sitting on the toilet.

It's not even because I worry about spam that I don't link things to Facebook, but because I don't want fb to know what stuff I like. #tinfoil
