50 Deeply Addictive Android Games

[~ b e l l a ~]

Stupid Zombies

Stupid Zombies has been in the Google Play Store for a very long time, but the compulsion to shoot numerous zombies
with a single bullet is still very strong for some people.


Now the game has a sequel- Stupid Zombies 2, so be sure to check that out too.


Price: Free

Requires: Android 2.0.1 or above

Developer: GameResort

Plants vs. Zombies

As we move towards the end of this extensive list, how can we not include the mighty Plants Vs Zombies?
It’s a gentle defense game where plucky garden plants fight off the zombies hordes.


The game is also painfully addictive and thoroughly consuming.
It is a game that essentially created a new genre of lateral defense games
that has been replicated in various guises throughout the Google Play Store.
It’s lots of fun but more than distracting enough to ruin your productivity levels.


Price: $3.10

Requires: Android Varies with device

Developer: Electronic Arts Nederland BV

Jetpack Joyride

Jetpack Joyride sees the return of dumb action hero Barry Steakfries who we last met fighting time-travelling zombies.
Here he breaks into a scientific lab in order to play around with a powerful jetpack.


The game blends very simple controls with fun visuals and loads of power-ups, bonuses and items to collect.
This gives it that crucial ‘one more go’ factor that makes some games so incredibly compulsive to play.


Price: Free

Requires: Android 2.2 or above

Developer: Halfbrick Studios

Tetris

How can any round up of addictive apps not include Tetris? Tetris was addictive before Android even existed so it has to be included here.


Gameplay is as familiar and as challenging as ever in the Android version of the game, bringing that blocky puzzle goodness to mobile screens.
I think everyone must have lost sleep playing Tetris, it’s pretty much a rite of passage for gamers everywhere.


Price: $3.19

Requires: Android 1.6 or above

Developer: EA

Bejewelled 2

Bejewelled is another addictive classic where gamers have to group jewels into combinations of three or more to remove them and gain points.


It’s an utterly mindless yet often inexplicably time-consuming affair where your aim is to score as highly as possible.
Like Tetris, it probably found its fame outside Android, but now it is available on the platform and it continues to be engaging and fun to play.


Price: $3.79

Requires: Android 1.6 or above

Developer: EA

Word Mix

Last, but by no means least, Word Mix is probably the word game I’ve spent the most time playing.
It’s a much-copied anagram game where you have to create as many words as you can in a set time.
You have to solve the anagram of six letters to progress to the next level.


An absolute favourite of Android ‘wordies’, it makes for addictive gameplay and enjoyably mind-bending fun.


Price: $0.99

Requires: Android 1.5 or above

Developer: Greenrift Software

Temple Run


Temple Run burst onto the Android scene after being hugely popular on iOS.
Run, jump, slide and turn your way along an ancient wall as you escape from rabid demon-monkeys.
The game requires fast reactions and nerves of steel to do well.


The challenge is to last as long as you can and complete various missions as you do so.
Subsequently it’s one of the most casual and aggressively engrossing games available in the Google Play Store.
