Some games look so simple that anyone can play it, but mastering it or trying to advance can be a maddening yet addictive experience. A good example of that is Snow Roll from Happymagenta. The premise is simple enough: control a penguin that’s racing down a mountain while on a snowball. Sounds simple yes, but it isn’t.
GIF for Facebook Messenger from Riffsy is the app that does exactly that: let you send GIFs. Messenger is a cool app and mostly functional, but the fact you can’t send GIFs has always been one of its shortcomings. Now, that isn’t going to be a problem anymore as you can send GIFs with a single tap.
Skill Wave is one of the latest titles from Appsolute Games, and like their other titles this one can’t be easily categorized as it combines elements from other games.

gar.io is a popular browser game from Miniclip that not surprisingly, has made its way to mobile.

Mountain Goat Mountain by Zynga is variation of the endless runner game, except this time it’s sort of an endless climber.
