It is considered to be a fact that Girls are bigger Smartphone users than boys according to the latest research on children’s technology habits.

This is especially true for girls aged between 7 and 15. Girls in this age bracket are more likely to own a Smartphone than boys and 45 per cent of girls say they use a smart phone every day, compared with 35 per cent of boys. Girls mostly buy smart phones for the reason that they want to stay updated on their friends and family through social networking websites, which suggests that they are more inclined towards communicating and collaboration whereas boys mostly prefer Smartphones for entertainment such as games and videos.

This said, we have seen a lot of girls having a huge interest in the latest Smartphone games therefore we have prepared a list which consists of the Top 10 games for girls with a smart phone. The list is as follows:

  1. Angry birds
  2. Fruit Ninja
  3. Words with friends
  4. Bejeweled
  5. Cut the rope
  6. Candy crush
  7. Subway Surfer
  8. Scoops
  9. Tetris
  10. Impossible Quiz

angry-birds

Angry Birds:

One of the most played games among youngsters and especially girls is “Angry Birds”. It is claimed to be by far the favorite game played and it’s pretty understandable why. What you have to do in the game is to use your collection of angry birds to demolish down the bricked fortresses of the pigs who have stolen their eggs. It consists of 270 levels, and they get trickier as you move forward and keep on crossing every level. It is quite simple but also a very addictive game. Check out various Angry Birds seasons as you are done clearing them for unlimited fun.

 

fruit-ninja

Fruit Ninja

An amazingly fun game we must say, and we bet, making fruit salad was never this much fun before. All you have to do is just to slice and dice the fruits as they keep flying through the air. The more you will slice, the more you will score. What you have to be careful about while swiping the screen and slicing is that, don’t dice the stuff which are not fruits, otherwise you start losing points. The game’s new Arcade mode has Freeze, Frenzy, and Double Score features which will make you fall in love with it even more. An interesting feature of the game is, it will give you cool fruit facts after the end of every level.

 

words-with-friends

 Words with friends

Games are always fun when played with friends, “words with friends” is one of those games. It is not only a word game but actually a party game where you are competing against your friends by spelling the highest scoring words. It also features in-game. We are sure this game has reminded of you of the old “Scrabble” game. Consider this one a trendierand more convenient version of Scrabble!

 

bejewelled-2

Bejeweled 2

One of the most popular games considered among girls, since it has the diamonds, and diamonds are every girls’ best friend in the sequel “Bejeweled 2”.  Scoring isn’t tough, as you just have to match three sparkling gems in a row to get rid of them and win points. The timer is on, and the puzzles get more and more complicated. Highly addictive and we are sure , you are ready to spend hours and hours on it.

 

cut-the-rope

Cut the rope

It features a little character called OM NOM!, which depends on you for each candy mouth-catch . You have to cut a thin rope to send candy in its mouth. Many obstacles will try to dodge you which include spiders as you collect stars and break down the bubbles along. It gets tougher by every passing level, so you need to play tactfully. It is just adorable to watch how this little creature eats up the candy!

 

candy-crush

Candy Crush

Candy Crush Saga is considered to be one of the most addictive games among casual players. As it is clearly explained through its name, it consists of sweet stuff for its central game pieces. If you match 3 candies in a row, you’ll score  points and it will clear the gems from the board, Likewise 4 and 5 in a row will offer various surprises too. Mixing those special candies together causes other surprising things to happen.

 

subway-surfer

Subway Surfer

Another most played game is the Subway Surfer which is an endless runner game for mobile devices. All you do is tag and collect coins, but the police are not happy with your hobbies and they keep chasing you. You will need to cross subway tracks to escape from the police and collect as many coins as possible.

 

scoops

Scoops

A deliciously fun game, Scoops! Keep on making sky-high stacks by collecting foods like ice cream and cup cakes. As the stack gets higher, the game becomes harder and harder . Remember to collect only the sweet stuff and not the vegetables. It’s simple yet addictive.

 

tetris

Tetris

That surely reminds us of our old times, we all know that this game has been around for decades, yet it’s still totally entertaining! What makes it more fun and easier, are the touch screens as you slide and drop the blocks into place. A true classic game we must say!

impossible-quiz

The Impossible Quiz

For the number ten we have, “the Impossible Quiz”. This quiz is going to test you on what you never learned  at school. The purpose of the game is to finish the quiz by answering entire collections of questions correctly.  At the start, the questions may seem easy, but don’t rush to answer. This is definitely one of the most challenging Smartphone brain games. Certainly it will educate you a lot!

Candy Crush is endlessly addictive. Endlessly. In fact, I’ve seen people get angry just at the thought of being dragged into the craze, the anguish, the tears… and Candy Crush Saga, the app variation of the browser based Candy Crush, has taken over the lives of many. And rightly so.

Candy Crush Saga is a variation on games like Bejewled, where you have to match three like pieces to make them disappear and move forward. There are five different types of levels; Moves, which limits the number of moves you have to complete a puzzle, Jelly, which encases pieces in jelly that you have to chip away, Ingredients, where special unmatchable pieces are needed to score points, Time Limited, which is obvious, and Candy Order, where players must collect a specific number of candies using a set number of moves.

If a lot of that sounds difficult, well, it is. The higher the level, the greater the difficulty, and there are 350 levels in total. That’s a lot of candy matching. The game can become frustrating at points, the kind of frustrating that makes you want to give up, not actually try to get better. That’s the problem with Candy Crush; as easy as it is to pick up, once you hit a wall, it’s just as easy to toss away and never want to look at again.

Still, a free game is a free game, and for that, it might be worth a few hours of gameplay until you get fed up. If you love that kind of challenge, though, this might be the kind of game you’ve been looking for.

I have not been this excited about a puzzle game since puzzle fighter. I have played my fair share of the classics from Tetris to Bejeweled so when I found myself reviewing what I assumed was a match three jewel game called ‘Tomb Breaker’ I wasn’t expecting much.

tomb-breaker-intro

Graphics-wise this game holds its own against the slew of Bejeweled and Zuma clones already out their on the market. Although there are not many, there is some really nice animations and the whole package is lovingly polished. Tomb Breaker’s jewel collecting narrative is told through the eyes of a young Tomb raider called Aria Brite. It’s slightly familiar territory but to be honest, it’s all about the puzzles as apart from a cartoon girl and a voice over intro there is no real story or progression through a narrative.

The games main mechanic is matching the same colored jewels with each other that are horizontal or vertical to each other (not diagonal). The jewels do not need to be directly next to each other and you can connect multiple gems in a single swipe. It’s easy to get the hang of but difficult to master. Extra bonus points are given when you connect the entire collection of a single colour or if you cross your own lines. Each round lasts 60 seconds and you not only collect points but special gems which act as currency to buy power ups.

Tomb-breaker-gems

The Power Ups

The power ups come in five styles:
– double points
– 10 more seconds
– lighting mode
– double crossover points
– +1 to all matches

The game is very addictive and it wasn’t long before I had earned my ‘Played 50 games’ gamecentre achievement. Some rounds everything goes your way and you are clearing colours, crossing the lines and stacking up a pile of special jewels to use to buy powers ups and other times you have difficulty getting three gems to line up. This is a great pick up and play game that you can dip in and out of as you please.

The Issues

There is however, a few issues that stops this game reaching the top score and top of that list is the cost of the power ups. I played well over 50 games and earned enough to buy one of the power ups. I eagerly purchased the ’10 more seconds’ power up thinking that more time would lead to more points and more prizes. For a short time (about two rounds) this was true but them the power up was removed and I was left having to play another 50+ games to attempt to earn another one. Of course you can buy booster packs to gain extra currency ($1.99 will get you 100,000 and power ups cost between 3000 – 7000) am I did buy one pack in order to test out the other powers up (as well as support the developer as it was a free game) but I was a little annoyed.

I have spent the week playing and playing and although I still think this is a great game, many gamers will lose interest with it after a while as there is no story or quest mode, and you are ulytimately playing the same board over and over. If there was a steady progression of obstacles, enemies, boosters and general forward movement then this would score better on the longevity front. As it stands however, you may be like me and really enjoy playing it but ultimately stop playing after a while for lack of progression. If you enjoy playing over Facebook and challenging friends then it will last longer but if you are just after a fun puzzler in those ‘quiet times’ then you may be disappointed later down the road.

tomb-breaker-scores

Overall

Overall this is a highly polished and hugely addictive game marred by over ambitious in app purchasing expectations and limited story line and progression. As its free I would definitely recommend downloading it but if you are stingier gamer who doesn’t like shelling out for in-app purchases then don’t get too excited about the power ups as you will only get to use them one in fifty games.
