The weather is starting to get a little chilly, which means you may find yourself spending more time indoors. Don’t worry, we’ve got plenty of new games to keep you busy. The last month brought a good amount of great games to the Play Store. Here are some of the best for you to download.

New Android Games

Amaze

Amaze is a unique logic game that puts you in a complex multi-level glass labyrinth. Your main goal is to find the way out as fast as you can. For that you can use elevators, trap doors, and other bonuses. Just be careful, you are not alone in the maze.

Break Liner

Break Liner is a very unique take on an endless arcade game. You control a rocket flying up into space. The goal is to fly your ship through the correctly colored lines to earn points. Every time you tap, the rocket flys through the line. Make sure you’re on target.

Burly Men at Sea

Burly Men at Sea is a folktale about a trio of large, bearded fishermen who step away from the ordinary to seek adventure. You play as storyteller and wayfinder, shaping the narrative around three ungainly heroes. Play through once for a single tale, then set sail again to uncover paths to new adventures.

Concrete Jungle

Concrete Jungle is a new take on the city building genre that swaps micro-management for a more strategic and puzzle-orientated style of city planning. You have a deck of selected cards which you can use to place buildings.

Dan the Man

Dan the Man is a Nintendo 64-inspired platformer from the folks that made Fruit Ninja. Play your way in Story Mode, Endless Survival Mode and Battle Mode to unlock costumes and upgrades and use arcade style controls to defeat super difficult bosses that will test your skills.

Fit in the Hole

Fit in the Hole is like the silly Hole in the Wall game show. A wall with an opening is rushing towards you. Move the cube to create the shape that will fit through the opening. It’s simple and addictive.

Flappy Golf 2

You can probably figure out what this game is by the title. It’s Super Stickman Golf mixed with the insanely addictive gameplay of Flappy Bird. The goal is to get your bird to the hole in the fewest flaps as possible.

Henry the Cloud

Guide Henry the Cloud through levels by swiping your finger to create gusts of wind. Avoid obstacles like mountains and enemies while collecting coins and powerups to help your cloud along the way. It’s a windy adventure.

I am Bread

I am Bread is another strange game from the people who made Surgeon Simulator. You play as a piece of bread (yes, bread) that wants to become toast. Make your way across the kitchen to get in the toaster and fulfill your lifelong goal.

Lara Croft: Guardian of Light

Lara Croft: Guardian of Light was originally back exclusive for Sony Ericsson devices way back in 2012, but now it’s available for everyone in the Play Store. The game includes solving some puzzles, battling against some “Epic Bosses” and working your way through to unlock all the best weapons.

Legend of the Skyfish

Legend of the Skyfish is a beautiful action adventure puzzle game where your weapon is a simple fishing pole. Follow the intrepid Little Red Hook on her journey with the Moonwhale to defeat the monstrous Skyfish.

Miaou Moon

Miaou Moon mixes cuteness and difficulty in a survival 2D physics platformer. You are Captain Miaou, traveling back to your planet with a cargo full of high energy food. Hit by a meteorite, you’re ejected and your food scattered all around 5 orbiting moons.

Mini Metro

Mini Metro is a game about designing a subway map for a growing city. Draw lines between stations and start your trains running. Keep your routes efficient by redrawing them as new stations open. Decide where to use your limited resources.

Mr.Catt
