Apps for Apple wearables such as Apple Watch are all the rage, especially engaging, fun to play games. Generally, these games offer short burst of entertainment & are simpler versions of their iPone or iPad cousins.
We’ve put together a few popular Apple Watch games:
- Trivia Crack
Similar to well known counterparts available on other digital platforms, this easy to play game presents you with questions, drawn from a set of categories – geography, science, art & entertainment. You need to answer a random question, selected for you by the app’s neat, spinning ‘Wheel-of-Fortune’. If you answer correctly, your score improves. The game supports ‘cross-play’ – you can play against an opponent, as well as the ability to setup your own questions for family & friends to answer. Good, clean fun.
- Snappy Word
Snappy Word is another popular Apple Watch game. It has a simple but pleasing interface, & allows you to sort a set of four letters into words by swiping on your chosen letter. The words you select must match a hidden list of answers for you to score. If, however, you come up with valid words, which are not on the hidden list, you earn a prize – a ‘Gem’. The game operates in 3 modes – Regular, Time Attack & Sort. Great as a time-filler, on your daily commute.
- Lifeline
A wonderfully immersive text-based adventure game that sets you against the odds of an outer space, alien environment in which a stranded astronaut named Taylor needs your help to survive. The game, played in real-time, allows you to make decision for Taylor’s survival plans. Naturally, if you err, Taylor dies, but, thankfully, it’s only fiction so you’re able to go back in time & try again. Quite addictive, this game has a very large player base.
- Pocket Bandit
This popular game turns you into a fictional thief of the safe-cracker type. There are more than 100 hidden ‘treasures ‘ for you to find. Each treasure’s location is suggested via a set of hints, such as the type of item you’re looking for & it’s general placement. Your watch vibrates when you’re close to discovering the correct number to crack a safe’s code, so you’ll know when you’re hot on the trail.
- Tiny Armies
A conquest type game, the aim of which is to acquire enemy territory by swiping to move your allotted army units. This achievement is harder than it sounds because there are numerous obstacles, such as mountains or marshes, which you have to circumvent. The game is fast-paced & engaging to play.
