2. Pocket Empires
There’s nothing quite like creating your own civilization to give you a bit of an ego boost. And that’s exactly what Pocket Empires lets you do – create an epic world in which you are master and commander, someone who has to protect all that you have created. Once you start building your empire, it’s so addictive you won’t want to stop.

3. Pumpkins vs. Monsters
Your job is to fire batches of pumpkins of the same colour (there’s orange or green) at the oncoming baddies, knocking them down and earning cash in the process. Graphically, the game is great, the monsters are really well animated and you’ll struggle to put it down.

4. R-Type
R-Type was responsible for taking thousands of pounds worth of coins of our nation’s children in the 1980s. In a particularly pleasing stroke of genius, the infamously difficult side-scrolling shooter is back on Android and this time, you only have to pay for it once! What you have is eight levels, two difficulties and all the mental power ups that you remember. There’s the air laser, ground laser and rebound laser and, of course, the wave cannon. Although one shot and you’re dead!
Price: £1.37
5. Tank Recon 3D
Tank Recon 3D is a great example of a simple concept executed well. The game puts you in a tank (code named ‘Alpha’) and simply asks you to defend yourself from all manner of angry things, from rocket-chucking go karts to fully-armed fighter jets. As a bonus, Tank Recon looks the part as well and plays as well as it looks.
Price: £2.99
6. Shoot U!
A game that sets a standard for other developers, Shoot U! is deceptively simple and plenty of fun – all you have to do is shoot your character from a canon into the red target. It comes with a beautiful hand-drawn quality to it that gives it endearing personality.
Price: £1.23
7. Asphalt HD
This game is a shrunk-for-smartphone version of a classic pursuit-style racer. There’s plenty of choice; over 30 automobiles both two and four-wheeled, including Ferrari, Kawasaki, Ford, Lamborghini, Audi and Ducati, and 12 tracks from Aspen to Las Vegas. The graphics are probably the highlight of this super-smooth game, but there are also some nifty multiplayer options, via Bluetooth and online.
Price: £2.99
8. Bubble Burst 2
From the off you can tell that Bubble Blast 2 is going to be a good game. The graphics are cute but not sickeningly so and the game play is simple but equally addictive. It manages to keep you hooked via the tried and tested method of pitting you against yourself – every time you make a score, you’ll feel like you can go one better.
Price: FREE
9. Alchemy
The look of the game is a simple one. Once you get past the complex instructions (Drag element on to other element, double tap, click here, blah blah) the game is actually fairly straight forward. Using the elements of fire, water, earth and air, combine them in the right ways to create more objects, until you have reached the 300 mark.

10. Zombieville USA
Every once in a while, a genius plot appears that we never even would have dreamed of. This is not one of those moments. Rather, your sleepy US hometown has been overrun by zombies. The whole point is to survive for the longest amount of time, with the help of some rather tasty weaponry (how you got hold of it is obviously a question for the prequel to address…). Prolong your life and you get more points. Simple.
