Gaming is huge in todays culture, and recently, popular
console titles are making their way on to our phones. People who game on their
mobile devices can have just as much fun as console players because of the
growing accessibility. Today we will be looking at today’s top 6 free games
available on the App Store.
1)
Fortnite. Fortnite is a 100 player battle-royale
with building mechanics that originated on Xbox, Playstation, and PC. Fortnite
is exploding in its player base because of their recent expansion to mobile
devices. The game is currently an “invite event” which means that players who
download the game will have to wait a few days to be able to play. But there is
something unique about Fortnite mobile that makes it stand out from other
mobile games, the ability to play online with console players. Not only that,
if you play on console, the game saves your progress and allows you to play on
the same account on your mobile device. Pretty impressive if you ask me. The
game is off to a rocky start, but immediately dominates the App Store.
2)
PUBG Mobile. PUBG Mobile is a 100 player
battle-royale game with one of the biggest maps in the battle-royale genre.
PUBG recently followed Fortnite in their quest to dominate mobile devices by
branching from PC, to Xbox, and now to Mobile. PUBG Mobile isn’t as popular as
Fortnite on the App Store because of the inability to play on the same profile
one may already have spent time and money on. They also cannot play with people
who are on console from their mobile devices, which is what most of the people
who download this app want to do. All in all, it runs smoothly and contains
just as much fun as the console and PC versions have.
3)
Rise Up. Rise Up is just a time-passing game in
which players are tasked with getting to level 1000 while protecting a balloon.
You must use a shield to protect your balloon from popping while it rises.
While this game is free, it gets very repetitive, with not much to do. This
game is just a challenge between friends to see who can get the higher score.
4)
Flip the Gun – Simulator Game. Flip the gun is
by the creators of Bowmasters (remember those annoying ads about that game?).
The game tasks you with getting a high score, like Rise Up. Each time you fire
one of the many guns available, you are propelled upwards. The goal is to get
as high up as possible before running out of ammo. Just as Rise Up, this game
has little replay ability and is really just another time waster.
5)
Helix Jump. Helix Jump is another time waster
game, and you can start to see the trend of time wasters on the App Store.
Helix Jump tasks you with falling through multiple floors to reach the end of a
level. Each level gets more difficult as you progress. As the past two games,
this game is a competition to see who can get the higher score.
6)
Granny. Granny is a horror game that pits you
against a psychopathic grandma who wants to kill you. You must utilize the
tools around you to escape her house in five days. Each time she “catches” you,
the next day commences. This game is just beautiful, and I wish more games like
this existed on the App Store. Strangely, this game is very popular on YouTube,
which is drawing even more attention to it than it already has. A perfect
example of what is happening to this game is Slender. Slender was very popular
on YouTube and the App Store in it’s prime, just like Granny. I hope that this
game gets updated adding a save option and more houses to get trapped in.
I bet your wondering why I did 6…. Well… reasons.
