Following the launch of iPhone 7 the popularity of mobile gaming has skyrocketed. Over the last few years these games have become increasingly advanced, and today it is estimated that mobile games will account for more than 50% of the Global Games Market.
The accessibility and endless opportunities are just a few of the reasons why mobile gaming have become so popular. Whether you are looking for a casual game to play while drinking your morning coffee, or you are a dedicated gamer, you will always find a game to enjoy.
Are you looking for a new mobile game to play this year? Here are five games that are guaranteed to give you the entertainment you need, whenever you have a few minutes to spare:
- The Room series
The Room series is one of the most unique and mesmerizing puzzle games produced on any platform. This is the third game in the series and the newest addition does not disappoint with its intricate complexity. The concept is still the same though: solve a number of puzzles in order to unlock the next room and new puzzles.
The Room series is perfect for those of us who enjoy a good brain teaser. The puzzles are both mentally challenging and satisfying to play, making this game a great way to spend some spare time.
- Rayman Adventures
This game is an excellent example of how previous console games have found their way onto the mobile platform. The original game, published by Ubisoft, has been popular among gamers since its release in 1995, and Rayman Adventure is the adapted mobile game. The game features the same spectacular scenery and along the way, you will meet the same creatures as before.
The player steers a running Rayman, making him jump and dodge by tapping or holding the screen using one-touch controls. The objective is to collect as many Lums as possible in order to unlock new levels, characters, and artwork. To complete the game you will need a perfect score, which means you sometimes have to re-do a level or two. The fun part, however, is in master each level. And of course – be a part of Rayman’s wonderful world.
- Alto’s Adventure
Over the years, we have seen several games that allows you to steer a vehicle. In Alto’s Adventure, there is no motorized vehicle, but you get to float through the sky as a pro snowboarder. Using one-touch controls you will guide Alto down the slippery slopes of magnificent mountains – while doing cool tricks and back-flips. In other words, this is casual gaming at its best.
The game has a beautiful design with spectacular mountains as your scenery. In addition, the game has a soundtrack that is guaranteed to provide a relaxed gaming session.
- Hugo Troll Race
The World’s most famous troll is back. Hugo Troll Race is an updated 3D-version of the old 2D-game from 1992. The objective of the game is to help Hugo, or one of his relatives, escaping from the evil witch Scylla and her minions. In order to do this, you will have to steer Hugo’s trolley, jumping and dodging all obstacles on the way. In addition, you will have to collect as many gold coins as you can in order to buy power-ups and upgrading your trolley. The game also features a Wheel of Fortune minigame.
Inspired by the minigame, online casinos have developed their own versions of Hugo’s Wheel of Fortune. This allows you to combine the magical world of Hugo with another popular mobile activity – online casinos.
- Geocaching
Unlike the other games on this list, Geocaching requires that you actually step out of your house. Using a GPS receiver or mobile device participants hide and seek containers, called geocaches or caches. The geocaches are hidden all over the world at specific locations marked by coordinates.
Usually, the geocaches are hidden at unique or spectacular places. Once you find the hidden caches, the container will often contain a small gift. This is yours to take in exchange for a new item. The caches also contains a logbook, which the participant can sign with the established code name and date – proving that you actually found the hidden cache. Geocaching is a nice way to experience differents parts of your city, or the rest of the world, and is just as suited as a solo-activity as it is a fun activity for the entire family.
