As the name suggests, you have to try to cross and survive the bridges while they fall apart. We like this game for being simple with minimal controls. The nifty controls also ensure that you can navigate this game like a pro in very little time.

The game certainly has a lot of potential and we look forward to the different cityscapes that it will eventually expand into. Meanwhile, you can still enjoy the current lot and decide if more are worth the purchase.

Gravity Box – Minimalist Physics Game

We like Gravity Box for its minimalist set-up. This physics puzzle uses blasts to push a box around, till you can ensure it reaches the finish point.

The early levels are fairly simple and you will be equipped with a rocket launcher that you will control by tapping the screen. Once you master the trick of using the right amount of force by launching rockets at the right distance and angle, the game will go to the next level.

Sea Stars: World Rescue

This adorable runner dash game uses the Flappy bird mechanism, except you’re navigating a cute dolphin instead of a bird. Also, all of this will be happening is an epic underwater setting.

The premise of Sea Stars is simple. You will navigate the Dolphin to save the ocean and make it through rough tides to earn points and power-ups. Also, do not underestimate the savagery of this game just because of the cute theme.

UniCorn – Born of Corn

Impeccable aim and flip management are key to cracking UniCorn. This absurd game has one goal, to transform a normal regular horse into a magical unicorn by throwing a corncob at it.

You can also do this to other animals, as long as you get the aim right. You can turn anything into a UniCorn as long as you get a perfectly placed cob on the animal’s forehead.

One of the best offline fighting games available, Stickman Legends is an interesting mix of RPG and PvP in which you’re a ninja who has to beat enemies.
