Despite hundreds of thousands of games on the Play store, very few become comforting escapes of the harsh reality. Games that you can play anywhere and without any special skills, with a pattern: feel relaxed instead of having fun.
In this spirit, I have handpicked games that do not require any prior experience in mobile games and can be recovered immediately. They do not need game chops and can be executed on most Android phones or tablets. None of them need high -end and high -speed internet equipment, but has no graphics of potato quality. All these games are free to play, although there will be announcements, mainly to gain advantages at stake or accelerate progress.
Which of these Android games in one hand have you tried?

Tennis confrontation
Tushar Mehta / Android authority
I have never been good at Meatpace Sports, and therefore, I simulate by feeling victorious by making sports video games. Recently, I was obsessed with a new sports game from which I cannot detach myself from.
Tennis shock is extremely easy to play; Once a game (tennis) begins, all I have to do is slide my thumb on the screen to direct the shot or press the field to move my player. I love the fact that these are the only two orders, and I can continue to play with one hand while using the other to organize my office, finish the tasks or caress my dog. There is practically no learning required, and a trace of the shift of my finger guarantees that I hit the ball in the right direction.
All matches occur against real human players, not robots, which makes it slightly more competitive. The game has the opportunity to join the clubs but not to invite other members to a match, which is the only aspect that I do not like in the game.
Apart from that, Tennis Clash offers truly attractive graphics with detailed characters, which keep me engaged in gameplay, even with a minimum entry required. When I do not play actively, I can spend time unlocking new characters with special skills, pillar with the best equipment and easily waste time.
Paper.io 2

I find Paper.io 2 oddly simple and very addictive. The only objective of the game is to occupy more territory by simply sailing on a colored cube through a simple white 2D map, from a small area and by making closed movement loops to wrap more space.
Although I found the direction of the cube by sliding my thumb through the slightly difficult screen at the start, especially since there is no virtual joystick, I was able to adapt quickly.
Although there is practically no graphic element other than the cubes and the surface on which they move, the developer makes them engaging by embellishing these cubes with happy colors and interesting textures. In the image above, you see that my cube is inspired by the dishes of the donut, and that only pirate my brain so as not to leave the game.
But what really hung me was the competitive gameplay; I must be prudent by walking on the territory of others or risking being easily eliminated, which occurs when someone makes me turn or cut my path before finishing the loop. It is not the ease of play, but, in fact, the ease of having eliminated myself that keeps me committed. The integrated Super Mario effect It makes me start another game immediately afterwards. I can even brave the 30 -second video advertisements which, unfortunately, occur after each match, despite the dissatisfaction. Since the only goal is to drive the cube, I can play it with a single thumb or a finger.
White survival
Tushar Mehta / Android authority
Whiteout Survival is a city construction game with interesting elements. I am sure that it was born from the frenzy of the clans and operates in the same way, except here, the clans confronted include humans living in an icy nature instead of beasts.
But because it has human characters, the “survival” aspect remains essential. As a chief of your village, I make sure everyone is hot, well nourished and used, constantly improves their homes, replace food with more nutritious ingredients and run workers. Although my notation as a chef depends on the happiness of my students, I would not deny that control feels good even without him. From time to time, I see complaints or diatribes in the mailbox, but as long as I approach them, the village prosperous.
Although the game also has the opportunity to explore the neighboring areas and try to conquer them with the help of a separate army, I do not like war and I undertake to ensure healthy diplomatic ties with neighboring villages.
I also like to be able to zoom in on the tiny characters and observe them about their routine. I treat them with special dinners from time to time to show my kindness. I started to play it casually, but before I know, I found myself taking active measures to ensure the prosperity and contentment of these tiny animated characters.
Cell to singularity: Evolution
Tushar Mehta / Android authority
A few years ago, I fell randomly on Cell towards singularity and I then spent the coming weeks playing this game exclusively each time I use my phone. Although I am not proud, I cannot deny the addictive nature of the game. In fact, I find that it is less suitable for the description of a game, and more similar to a merger of various scientific experiences and psychology.
I like the unique cell because I can simulate a whole universe, which comes from a unique cell organism in a Petri box. There is little contribution to players for growing organizations, as most developments are automated. However, the tapping of one hand increases activity in the system and ends up unlocking more organisms when there are enough currency (expressed in “entropy”).
It includes several milestones, as when the organs combine to form an organism, the first time an arthropod comes out of the water, the first flying dinosaur appears, several asteroids strike the prehistoric earth and the human race appears finally. Each of these milestones presents a beautiful scene of cinematographic cut, which I find to be the most rewarding part of the game.
There are several simultaneous kingdoms, and I appreciate the level of control which has just combined inorganic compounds to form more complex proteins, by checking the supercomputer performing the simulation, or even playing elements on earth in order to reach the singularity. Whenever I get involved in this game, I leave without feeling delighted with its unique approach.
Mekorama
Tushar Mehta / Android authority
I don’t think I have ever played a more meditative game than Mekorama. It is essentially an isometric puzzle game where you guide the robot through a complex and particular building. The dizzy robot that displays Jiggly body physics depending on how you move it.
While his gameplay could remind you Monument valley Or Lara Croft GoMekorama has no melancholy elements, which I appreciate less in these games. All levels here are non -identical and gradually become more difficult, which forces me to spend several minutes, even hours, try to uncheck.
For a game of almost a decade, Mekorama has excellent graphics, which is also why it was then worn on Xbox One, Playstation and Nintendo Switch. It even has a generator mode that allows you to create personalized levels.
The most exciting aspect is that Mekorama works without internet connection, so it can be played on a flight from take -off to landing. I say that because I did it at least a few times.
