Mmm Fingers

Sometimes games don’t need to be complex to be fun, and Mmm Fingers from Noddlecake Games certainly fits the bill. Here you just move your finger across the screen of your mobile device and try to keep it from getting chopped off. Yes, the game doesn’t sound too complicated and it isn’t, and that’s part of the charm.

Spring Ninja

Spring Ninja is one of the latest from Ketchapp Games, and while it bears some resemblance to classic platform / sidescroller games, it does incorporate some original elements that make it fun. The premise is to have your ninja jump a specific distance, and while it sounds simple enough, it’s the reason why this game is addictive.

Daddy Long Legs

Daddy Long Legs from game developer Set Snail has a very simple premise: get a hairy creature called Daddy Long Legs to walk, but because his legs are so long, it’s kind of a challenge. It doesn’t sound like much, but Daddy Long Legs is actually very addictive due to its very simplicity, and also because it’s so hard. Every time you fail though, you’ll want to give it “one more try”.

Stickman Rush

Stickman Rush from Ketchapp Games is a sidescroller that will bring back fond memories of those pixelated games you used to play. However, this isn’t just strong on aesthetics as its gameplay is just as good. While it’s basically a lane changing scroller, Stickman Rush has a few more aces up its sleeve.

Papi Jump

The best games don’t have to be complex or have eye popping visuals, because more than anything else, it’s the gameplay that matters. Papi Jump from Sunflat Games is a good example of that, because it’s the very simplicity that makes it addictive: While it’s basically a jumping platform game with a rubber ball, it’s a lot of fun.

The Silent Age

The Silent Age from publisher House on Fire is a puzzle adventure game that moves back and forth from the present day to the 70s. You’ve-probably played games like these on the PC, but the features and interface are designed specifically for mobile devices.

ZigZag

ZigZag from developer Ketchapp is essentially a game that tests your reflex and hand – eye coordination. The objective is to help a marble ball move across a zigzag wall, all the while making sure it doesn’t fall off. The premise is simple and the mechanics are easy to grasp, but mastering the game is another matter altogether.

Fun Run 2

Fun Run 2 is the sequel to the original smash hit and the game publisher, DirtyBit , has added a lot of new levels, more characters and essentially made this multiplayer game even more fun. With Fun Run 2 you get all the features you enjoyed in the original game, plus a few more goodies have been thrown in.
