Dehumanize Your Friends
The Chromecast may not have been built for games, but thanks to some crafty Android developers it can be. Dehumanize Your Friends is like Cards Against Humanity for your phone and TV.. Players use their phone or tablet to choose a card, and then everyone’s choices are displayed on the TV. Modern technology meets card games in a beautiful way.
Flop Fu
Flop Fu is the strange love child between old-school 2D fighter games and the insane QWOP. This fighting game is unlike anything you have ever played. You have two controls: arms/legs and jumping. To win the match you need to flail and flop all over your opponent. It sounds weird, and it is, but you seriously need to play this game.
Goblins
This great puzzle game comes from the minds at Cartoon Network. Alien globs are brainwashing your friends. It’s your job to save your friends, and the world, with your trusty gadgets. The Goblin-infested brains need to be cleared from puzzle boards by making them explode and pop. With power-ups and gadgets you can improve your chances. Don’t be afraid!
Little Big Adventure
Originally released on PC back in 1994, Little Big Adventure is finally available on Android. You play as Twinsen, a young hero living on Citadel Island on a world under the heel of the dictator Dr. FunFrock. Dr. FunFrock locks you away in an insane asylum. As Twinsen, you’ll need to escape from your cell and discover your incredible destiny as a descendant of a long line of magicians in charge of protecting your planet’s secret.
Quiz Up
If you are a trivia buff this is will quickly become your favorite game. Quiz Up is the world’s largest online trivia game. There are over 200,000 questions across 400 topics to challenge you. If you’re good enough you can even get ranked on the leaderboards among the 10 million other players. The best kind of fun is when you learn something, which makes Quiz Up great.
Smash Hit
This is a game that the Hulk would love. The goal? Simply smash as many things as you can. The graphics are beautiful, the scenery is futuristic and gorgeous, and the music is hypnotic and great. It’s your job to destroy all of that with marbles that you ca fling at anything you see. If destruction is your name, Smash Hit is your game.
Star Wars: Assault Team
Star Wars: Assault Team is a turn-based combat game. Players get to build and customize a team from popular Star Wars characters. After that you can embark on a mission to infiltrate enemy lines, find Wookie resistance, survive ambushes and much more. Improve your character’s skills by training them and deploying special attacks. Any Star Wars fan will love this game.
Threes!
Threes! is billed as a “tiny puzzle that grows on you,” and that is certainly true. The goal is to combine numbers that equal three and are multiples of three. The number blocks have little faces and make cute sounds as you combine them and slide them around the board. Threes! is one of the more addictive games you will find, but you don’t have to feel bad about playing it all day because it makes you think.
