02. Angry Birds: Seasons
The eleventh Angry Birds game developed by Rovio Entertainment. Just as in the original Angry Birds, players use a slingshot to launch birds at nearby structures but they got to choose which bird to shoot. The main targets are the pigs, and they can be defeated if directly fired at, or through other strategies, e.g.: the bird hits a structure where the pig is standing, making it fall. The player loses if there is no card left for popping pigs. Spells are also available as extra cards and can be used just like birds. Spells include raining rubber ducks, summoning blizzards, chilis, and more. Some levels include boss fights, that has the player using the environment to defeat the boss, which has a health bar.
01. Clash of Clans:
The most widely played multiplayer game at the moment, Clash of Clans is built on a very simple yet highly addictive concept – build a town and its defences, then train your troops to fend off attacks from other players. As it’s a persistent multiplayer game, its duration is basically never-ending. Your progress syncs to your Google + account, so you can continue your game across multiple devices.
