There was a time when mobile gaming was all about “Snake” and “Bounce,” considered, perhaps the most entertaining games of all time.These games could have us playing for hours at a stretch, even with minimal graphics and a straightforward interface.Perhaps, this was the trick to making fun games – simplicity.

But with the rise of Androids, many game developers took to exploring this unique new platform, and in less than two years after the release of Android, the world was bitten by the Play Store bug.

We bring to you five amazing games that changed the way we thought about gaming. If you haven’t played these yet, you’re missing out.

Top 5 Android Games that redefined gaming

We bring to you five amazing games that changed the way we thought about gaming. If you haven’t played these yet, you’re missing out.

5. Angry Birds

Rovio’s super-hit, bird-throwing, pig-squashing, the star-collecting game took the world by storm, picking up new users by the second, and giving arcade gaming a brilliant, modern look. Rovio made 51 games before releasing Angry birds, none of which had tasted much success, but Angry Birds changed all that, and the subsequent releases kept Androiders on their feet!

4. 2048

2048 was not a new idea or a complicated idea. But the challenge was there for the taking. Can you make 2048? And people would and still do spend sleepless nights trying to attain the magical number. Those who do, work for 4096 and so on. If you haven’t given this a try, you need to stop reading and download 2048 right now!.

3. Duet

Duet Beautiful music, simple, elegant graphics, and a very, very straightforward task – dodge whatever comes your way. The developer did give a lot of thought into this game, from the central concept to the names for each level, which, we believe, trace human behavior in unexpected traumatic situations. A must-download for its beautiful presentation and style!.

2. Flappy bird

Considered by many as a rip-off of the original Mario games, Flappy Bird took over the world in a mad, screen-tapping frenzy. There was nothing complicated about the goal.

It was to “Keep going”. And people loved it. Unfortunately, Flappy Bird is no longer available on the Play Store as its developer removed it, as he believed his game was too “addictive”.

1. Clash of Clans

Although this might come as a surprise to many, Clash of Clans stands at the no.1 spot regardless of any other game that may have been. The greatest selling point of Clash is it’s well-balanced gameplay and pleasant graphics. The learning curve is simple and if you find a good clan, this game can become your new social club! Mixing one-on-one battles with 16 different troops to choose from, as well as many buildings with multiple upgrade levels, Clash just keeps making you come back.

It also has base-designing, clan wars and clan perks (released in the latest update). Overall, a fantastic game for the serious gamers as well as the casual ones!
