We all know that the COVID-19 lockdown has had us all locked in our homes with our families and teleworking with our colleagues, but there had to be a handful of people that downloaded at least a few new games on their phones to help pass the time when they’re bored and have nothing else to do.

Of course, it’s almost impossible to keep track of all of the gaming apps, since they are being downloaded daily and are each designed for a différent audience. Here is a list of the coolest ones to narrow down which ones you want to download next.

1. Z Escape

If you like action games and like to shoot animated, 3-d stick figures, you will enjoy this game. The player would be shooting red goons from a helicopter to protect the blue men to help escape to the rendezvous point where the helicopter will pick them up, that is if you don’t get infected by their red enemies.

This game is apparently for kids twelve and up. It’s been developed by Homa Games and is #42 on the chart for action games and for the record, you know the game is popular when it has over 50,000 ratings.

2. Demolish!

If you want a game where all you do is destroy things to pass your time, Demolish! Is definitely the game for you. The objective of the game is to catapult a plethora of objects at a building to knock it completely down and destroy it. Admittedly, it seems slightly mundane after a while, but if you feel like turning your brain off for a while and you like seeing buildings crumble to the ground, it’s admittedly passable.

This game has been developed by Voodoo and has been given a rating of 4.5 out of 5 based upon 112,000 user ratings.

3. Parkour Race – Freerun Game

Want something fast and incredibly entertaining that allows you to think on your feet — no pun intended? Then you should probably download the Parkour Race app. The whole idea of the game is to race against other players while ducking through obstacles, scaling tall buildings and shimmying your way first to the finish line.

The game is #48 in sports and has a 4.6 rating on the basis of 153,000 other ratings. It has also been developed by MADBOX which has developed other gaming apps like Sausage Flip, Stickman Hook, and Idle Ants, to name a few.

4. Galaxy Shooter – Falcon Squad

If this doesn’t remind you of the old arcade games that you used to play during the weekends, then nothing will. Generally speaking, this is another one of those run-of-the-mill shoot-em-up games that happens to be set in space, but when beginning this game, it will be almost impossible to put down. The app uses a classic pixel style to broadcast a narrative of its futuristic setting where the hero is forced to combat alien life forms with the ship.

The game has a 4.6 rating over 21,000 ratings and has been developed by Onesoft Global.

5. Among Us!

If you want a popular game that will keep you at the edge of your seat, this should tickle your fancy. It’s a multiplayer game where players are able to win the game by figuring out who the imposter is on the ship. It’s basically Clue in a futuristic setting inside of an app.

The game allows up to 4–10 players and not only has gotten a 4.2 rating from 575,000 people. It has been named the Editor’s Choice for apps.

6. What The Fight

What happens when you put an assortment of colorful humanoids, différent locations and some dangerous fighting tools together? Evidently, you get the app What The Fight. The main objective is to swipe around on your character and pick up as many weapons or blunt objects that you can to knock your opponents out cold.

This game was developed by Voodoo and, while on the surface it seems like a dull fighting game, it still has a 4.7 rating from 20,000 users.

7. Crowd Master 3D

If there is a violent game anywhere on this list, Crowd Master 3D is definitely the most violent and most demanding. You will use différent weapons like swords, bombs, and even other objects to bash your enemies and earn some gold coins during gameplay. You can even use gas tanks to blow up your opponents.

Yet another game developed by Voodoo and has earned a 4.7 user rating from 28,000 people.

8. Subway Surfers

This game is easily the most popular on the list. You would be playing as a literal subway surfer dodging and weaving through the subway collecting coins while trying to evade an angry security guard. It sounds like another standard game, but it will be hard to put down.

This game is so popular that it has a 4.6 rating based upon over one million user ratings and has been developed by Sybo Games Aps.
