SB Recommends Android Games

gatotsu2501: Ridiculously hyped physics-based puzzler that is actually pretty good.

Shnozlak: Design a vehicle of sundry parts to get your pig and egg to the goal. The game mixes puzzle play, customization and vehicle piloting. The levels and sub goals start easy but get truly puzzling near the mid to late levels. Winning makes you feel clever and just a little bit lucky. Play doesn't lend to quick sessions becasue if you are like me you will want to try again and a again with new designs. It's my favorite stuck-in-line game so far.

shnozlak: It's Chu Chu Rocket! Single Player only makes me pretty sad but its better than nothing… I suppose.

Intentionally Wrong: Playing this feels more like I'm trying to overcome myself than my opponents, since I've noticed I tend to win any match where I spend at least 5 minutes simulating before I send in my orders, and only lose if I get careless and don't take the time that I need. Perpetual vigilance and attention to detail is rewarded.

JoeX111: I love the asynchronous multiplayer. It's like chess by mail with gunfire.

Dracko: You should be playing Frozen Synapse anyhow if you've got nothing better to do than completely miss the grotesque irony of a cyberpunk tale about violent corporate warfare using proxy soldiers.

Ymer: I think you might like it actually. It's XCOM style turn-based combat only both players turns take place at the same time after they've been planned and engaged. You can even simulate whatever move you think your opponent might make during the planning phase but you're of course in all likelihood gonna guess completely wrong about it. The multiplayer is also asynchronous similar to Words with friends/Wordfeud so you can have multiple games going at once and not have to make your move in any of them for days if you so wish.
Also a campaign with a real weird GitS-like storyline or something.

The Blueberry Hill: Tight, turn-based tactical game. Really great as a play-it-when-you're ready asynchronous multi thing, with lots of options for your you people, and for simulating the behaviours of your opponents'.

mothmanspirit: This ain't like that IIDX shit, it's laid back and has lots of great ZUNTATA tunes, both new and classic. It's easy and the windows are big enough you can just like mash on shit. I can't play a Bemani game for shit but I can clear the hardest tracks on here like w/e. It has beautiful colors and the music is great. Like, the first song you unlock is from Street Fighter EX. You get a decent amount of shit free, and it doesn't ever feel money grubby.

Sleazy: More like a little vignette than a game and you can probably beat it in one sitting but it's free and you should play it.

gatotsu2501: Canabalt meets Balloon Fight, only with machine gun jetpacks and Mad Max motorbike powerups and stuff, all nestled within a meta-game goal/reward structure that's addictive without being underhanded. All of which is to say that it's, y'know, pretty sweet.

Tulpa: Even if the interface is a bit fucked on phones (It's fine on tablets but font size on some menus is too big on phones).

NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST HERE

Shnozlak: Its well designed for short bursts of play when you want a dash of color and a little challenge. The music leaves something to be desired but I leave my sound off most of the time anyway. I got a lot of people asking me what this is just from seeing it over my shoulder.
