Maze Dungeon
If there’s any game types that are wonderful for passing the time while still retaining plenty of excitement, it’s puzzle games. The goal here is obvious, to make it to the exit of the maze, but it won’t necessarily be a simple one as you can only see a little bit in front of you. As a glowing cube you illuminate your own path but you won’t stay lit up forever and you’ll need to find the exit before you stop glowing.

Leap of Fate
This is a fairly new entry as it was just released yesterday, but that doesn’t make it any less intriguing of a game. This is a roguelike top down twin stick shooter, filled with awesome graphics and special effects, plenty of action, and a taxing challenge as once you die, your character dies for good and you’ll have to start all over again.

RunGunJumpGun
Continuing with the theme of challenging games, RunGunJumpGun is a side scrolling action game that wants quick reflexes and requires an even quicker trigger finger, as you’ll be continuously moving, jumping, and shooting your way through the mayhem. Moving is automatic, and you’ll have one button to jump and one button to shoot, making this a simple game when it comes to the controls. You might die often, but the game lets you respawn fast so you’re able to get back to it.

Knight Slinger
This is an RPG for those who like the story-based complexities of role playing games, but love simple controls.

Super Cat Bros
If you grew up with the NES, then this likely needs little explanation for why it’s an awesome offering. If you didn’t, that’s ok. Super Cat Bros is more or less a Super Mario Bros style of game, which is a platformer, filled with adventure seeking, battling your foes, and discovering hidden secrets, which the game apparently has plenty of, with one major difference – Cats. Yep, if you’re a cat lover and you love Super Mario, this is definitely worth checking out. There’s no saving the princess, so she’s not in another castle, but there’s still plenty of fun here.

Legends TD – None Shall Pass
Tower Defense games seem like they’re as old as time on the Android Platform, and that’s because they are. The genre has literally been around on Android since the days of the G1, and with good reason – they’re insanely fun games. The deal with this particular TD game is a fantasy-based Tower Defense title filled with tons of different characters and enemies, magic attacks, special abilities, and unlockable heroes. The graphics are cartoony, but well polished. There’s also over 40 levels, so there you should have plenty of game time with this one.

Bowmasters
The goal here is simple. Aim your bow, or whatever it is you’re shooting or launching across the level, and hit your target. The real fun comes in from the combination of the large character list, the zany ragdoll physics, and the competitive nature of going up against your friends (or frenemies?) and coming out the victor. Simple fun, with ridiculous and crazy hilariousness.

Burrito Bison: Launcha Libre
If you’ve never played Burrito Bison, you’re missing out. The goal is thwart the gummy invasion and you can do that the only way you know how – to launch yourself into the fray and take out as many as you can for as long as you can. As a bison luchador, your skills in wrestling are unmatched, but even you have to stop sometime. Launch yourself in the beginning of the level and see how far you can go. Pummeling gummy bears gives you a small boost to keep going, and along the way you can collect power ups that assist you and fire you even further. The longer you last, the more points you get from traveling a further distance.
