Jon’s favourite mobile games

Jon Bishop is the Head of Marketing for Coda, based in our London office. We asked him about his favourite all time mobile games and his choices didn’t disappoint. Hopefully you’ll some games to download and play from his list of favourites.

Battle Cats

Truly one of the best games I’ve ever played, Battle Cats kept me hooked for months on end. The graphics are hilariously bad, the game is full of what-the-hell-is-that moments but the game itself is really great. Super easy to start but it gets really hard over time and is surprisingly strategic.

Headball 2

While game makers have been trying to come up with ways to create realistic, Fifa type football games in 3D space for mobile, Head Ball 2 comes along and says, nope we just need 2 characters with giant head and a side on view. Game play is really fun though.

Archero

Arguably the most talked about game of 2019, Archero combined mid-core, RPG and hyper casual core loops to create a whole new type of game. And it works really well but in terms of game play for the user and monetization for the company. Definitely one of my favourite games of 2019.

Monument Valley

Monument Valley set the standards for what a mobile game could look like when it was first released. It still looks great in 2020 and is as beautiful and addictively playable as ever.

Slydris

If, like me, you were thinking that you really like Tetris but it could do with more action then Slydris is the game for you. The graphics haven’t dated well since 2012 but if you can get past the ‘awesome’ fonts and bevelled artwork, you might just find it as addictive as I did.

Fish out of water

Fun artwork and you get to see how far you can throw various types of sea creatures. What’s not to love?
