Five fun mobile games

KATHMANDU, Feb 11: Games in mobile phones are a surefire way to pass the time these days. You can simply whip out your phone and lose a few minutes in the game. It can be especially handy if you find yourself with lots of time on your hands. Otherwise if you're bored waiting for someone or want a little fun during a long commute, these mobile games will come to your rescue.

Since it's not possible to play online games all the time, here are some games that you can play even when not connected to the Internet.

Plants vs Zombies 2

Here you will be using the plants to stop the hungry zombies from entering your house and feasting on your brain. Each plant has a special power and you will have to use those powers to stop the zombies who also come in different sizes and with powers of their own. But thankfully, there are ways and special powers to deal with even the most hardened zombie. Every player should use the available powers smartly otherwise you could be eaten up by the zombies. As we cross from one level to another, there are new plants (and new zombies) who come with a set of their own powers.

Dots

After the popularity of Two Dots, the makers came up with Dots which is an equally addictive puzzle game. There are around five different colors and you have to connect dots of the same color quickly. However, the dots cannot be connected diagonally which has been a letdown for many players. It's a fun game for players of every age.

Subway Surfers

This game can be quite addictive if you play it regularly. As you keep playing the game, you gather gold coins as well as different awards like hoverboards, keys, head starts, etc. Your ultimate objective is to escape the clutches of the inspector chasing you with his dog at his side. In Subway Surfers, you are a teenage hooligan who is found painting graffiti in a metro railway station. You will have to run away from the Inspector as well as avoid collusion with incoming trains with timely jumps and rolls. Make sure that your flight lasts as long as possible. It's fun to beat your own scores as well as compare points with friends who also play the game.

Candy Crush Saga

This is one game that a majority of people will certainly have played at least once. Like all games, the levels in Candy Crush also get harder as you climb up. Players will have to match candies and swipe them. Sometimes, you get special candies that have their own powers which can wipe candies of the same color at once, or clear out an entire row/column. There are a certain number of moves available for each game and you have to finish the game before the moves are up.

Piano Tiles 2

To play this game, you need to have quick reflexes because Piano Tiles 2 is about hitting only the black tiles in quick succession in time with the music. If you touch anything but the black tiles then you are a goner. As you progress in the game, the tiles will come down more quickly and you will really have to accelerate your tempo. You will definitely not be bored when you're playing Piano Tiles 2. As users have been saying, 'it's the perfect mixture of challenge, addiction, and fun'.
