6 amazing mobile games that’ll keep you playing for hours and hours

If you’re looking for some simple, if completely ridiculous, stress relief to get you through lockdown, this game is a winner. The bonkers bovine adventure sees you play as a wrestler, who happens to be a mask-wearing bison (wait, it gets weirder), who must defend his home town from a gummy-bear invasion (told you). To defeat them, you use body slams and absurd in-game items to smash the gelatinous army to pieces – and you’ll feel a whole lot better afterwards. Trust us.

Say hello to Game of Phones. This medieval melée is a platform game that gives you command over a tiny knight and sets you on a quest through a world full of heavily armoured adversaries. You start out with a pot on your head and pick up better armour and weapons as you go – as long as you don’t get smooshed by the Viking bloke with the hammer first. The sword-swinging takes a while to master but then time is all we have.

The sequel we never knew we needed comes with new swords, new features and some fun fruit facts (did you know that there’s a mango called R2E2?). The premise is the same, though: you slice the shit out of enormous quantities of flying fruit and try not to hit the bombs that occasionally sail into the mix, looking for all the world like sizzling coconuts. Download it and get your 5,000 a day.
