As the years go on, gaming on mobile devices has become more popular, and even more complex. Nowadays, gaming apps and their creators are capable of games that can host incredible graphics and comprehensive gameplay, that allow gamers to get lost for hours.

This gaming app brings together a beautiful mixture of art, sounds, and gameplay. You start out by joining up with Alto, who is a llama herder. This game has an included challenge system, which allows you to unlock characters as you progress through the game. Shred down the hill and practice your jumps in some beautiful weather and lighting!
Into The Dead 2
This app delivers to gamers an even more adaptive and addicting game than the first Into The Dead. Instead of just playing to beat your own high score, this game has added much more progression and complexion to its run ‘n’ gun style of gameplay. The story is about you, James, who survives a car accident and tries to get back to his wife and daughter, while strategically fighting back against hordes of zombies.

To say the least, they delivered. Battleheart 2 is an RPG where you’ll get to take part in crazy battles, controlling your team of heroes and taking down other teams of monsters and creatures.
