4 mobile games to keep you busy this Easter

Have you got an Android or iOS device and some itching gaming fingers? Well then, read on for some tasty gaming slices.

They Need to be Fed (Android & iOS)

In “They Need to be Fed”, there are some “insanely cute monsters” that are starving and thus, need to be fed. Your goal is to collect diamonds (which unlock new worlds) as fast as possible and, to then jump into the mouth of a sweet little monster. How adorable.

You are hampered by moving blocks, spiky traps, and delightfully wacky level layouts. It’s fun, but the controls can make it slightly frustrating at times.

They Need to be Fed will cost you $0.99 on iOS and $1.10 on Android.

Cut the Rope Experiments (Android & iOS)

Cut the Rope was a fun game. It’s a physics puzzler wherein you have to get candy from one point to a cute critter called Omnom. You do this by, well, cutting ropes. There are, of course, other tools to help you, like air blowers and pulleys, but mostly it’s about the ropes.

Cut the Rope Experiments carries on in the same vein as the original. Your missions stays the same, but there are some new twists to the puzzles and loads of fun to be had.

At the low price of $0.99 on both Android and iOS there are few reasons for you not to give Cut the Rope Experiments a go.

Colosseum (Android)

In Colosseum, you play a Gladiator who has to hack, chop, and slash his way from one side of the arena to the other. Along the way you collect coins and temporary powerups. The former can be used to upgrade your equipment and buy new weapons after each level.

It’s fun for a while, but the levels and enemies change too infrequently for it to hold your attention for very long. Nevertheless, at $0.99 it’ll hardly set your wallet on fire, and it’s worth checking out if you have nothing else to play.

Node.hack (Android & iOS)

In Node.hack, you play a hacker, represented by a simple circle, in a field of square shaped nodes. Your goal is to move from one node to the next to “collect” funds while avoiding the enemy AI, and eventually exit before the network self-destructs.

The interface is simple, which means that you can spend less time figuring it out and more time finding safe routes. However, the difficulty ramps up fairly quickly, so you’ll have to bring your A-game from the start.

One slight annoyance, is that (on Android at least) Open Feint pops up after every level. Hopefully the developer looks into this mildly infuriating behaviour.

You can grab Node.Hack for $0.99 from both Google Play and the App Store.
