10 free entertaining games on Android and iPhone
All games are available for free on Android and iOS, although they have optional in-app purchases.
1. iSlash Heroes
Sharpen your blade and prepare for iSlash Heroes. Your goal is to slash the board pieces until the meter reaches the red ribbon. The trick is to pay attention to the bouncing ninja stars because if you hit one, you will lose your life.
The more pieces you remove, the less space there is for the stars to move.
2. Fishing Break
Fishing Break is a colorful challenge. You jump on a boat and travel to different underwater worlds, catch fish and create a collection. Swipe to throw, then tap and hold to spin your line. Just be careful not to pull them in too quickly or you could break the wire.
You can earn coins from the fish you sell and use them to unlock better fishing spots.
3. Doodle Jump
Doodle Jump has been on smartphones for many years but it's still as addictive as ever. The aim is to control a small creature to jump, tilt your phone to avoid enemies, collect power-ups like jetpacks, and see how high you can get.
There are lots of different themed levels to play, missions to complete and global leaderboards to strive for.
4. Polyforge
Polyforge is a relaxing mobile game. As the crystal spins, you time your taps on each edge using the color. But be careful - if you tap the same edge twice, you have to start over.
Each correct press produces a beautiful musical melody, but an incorrect press produces an out-of-tune note.
5. Two Dots
Containing thousands of levels, Two Dots allows you to connect dots of the same color to collect and clear them from the board. You have limited moves and lives, and can use boosts to help you get out of a sticky situation.
6. Angry Birds Blast
You don't have to be an Angry Birds fan to have fun with Angry Birds Blast. In this matching game, you pop adjacent balloons of the same color to release the birds. Gather large zones to create bombs and laser guns to pop balloons, and use power-ups if you get stuck.
You must be strategic because the number of moves is limited.
7. Roll the Ball
If you like sliding puzzle games, Roll the Ball is one you should try. You just need to slide the boxes to create a path for the ball to reach the goal.
Try your best to arrange the tiles so that you can collect 3 stars in each level. There is no limit to time or number of moves, so play at your own pace.
8. NYT Games
The New York Times game app has many interesting games like Sudoku, Spelling Bee, Connections, etc. One of the best apps is Wordle, which allows you to guess a 5-letter word in 6 turns.
It's easy to do, but there are plenty of Wordle tips you can apply to improve your score.
9. Trivia Crack
Play with random people or your friends to see who rules the quiz world across a variety of game modes and themes such as geography, entertainment and sports. When you answer correctly, you'll see your ranking rise on the global leaderboard.
10. Word Chums
If you like Words With Friends, you'll also like Word Chums. In the style of Scrabble, you compete against others to see who is the better wordsmith.
What makes this multiplayer word game stand out are its cute characters, colorful interface, and upbeat experience. Word Chums also offers power-ups to explode letters and get high-score hints.
