More often then not, when I've caught up on social media and my text messages, I find myself trying to find some good games to play, to pass the time. Here are my top five gaming apps!
1. Disney Emoji Blitz
This game is basically Bewjewled Blitz, but using Disney characters instead of jewels. There's weekly challenges, holiday events and items to collect every day. Plus, if you save up your coins, you can buy new Disney characters to use during your game: each one has an unique power up. For example, Dory gets a whale to help you clear emojis, and Minnie Mouse blows kisses to double the points. It's highly addictive during the holiday events. (FYI, there is a Valentine's Day event going on right now and I can't stop playing!)
2. Kim Kardashian: Hollywood
I know, I know, all of you are judging me hard for this one but just give me a chance to explain. You are an up and coming celebrity, waiting for your big break when you happen to meet Mrs. West herself. With her help, you start to book cover shoots for magazines, walk runways and date all the biggest stars. The main mission of the game is to get you to "A celebrity" status. I'm a B and I'm working on it!
3. Fruit Ninja
An oldie, but a goodie! Fruit Ninja calculates scores based on how fast you slice through fruit thrown in the air. There are special fruit that gives you higher scores, customizable swords you can use and leaderboards so you can challenge your friends. If I'm ever super bored, this is my go to app.
4. Plants vs. Zombies
This game pits Plants versus Zombies (hence the name). You are in the middle of a zombie apocalypse and the only tools you have to defend yourself is your garden. You grow special plants, like pea plants that shoot peas at the zombies, or walnuts that serve as protection from the guards. You advance by killing more zombies and unlocking more plants. This game is 100% strategic and it's a good way to occupy yourself when you have some time to kill!
5. Peggle
Peggle is a puzzle game that gives each player a certain amount of balls to shoot at "pegs". Your mission is to get all the green pegs cleared using the limited amount of balls you have. For each level, you get a sidekick that gives your a special boost: an unicorn named Bjorn gives you the ability to know where your ball will land exactly, and an octopus named Pearl lets you shoot two balls at once. It's a bit ridiculous, but it's always fun!
