Interesting games on the app store. What paid games for Android and iOS are worth buying? Apps of the Year in Russia

Winter is coming .. With her already New Year and summarizing. App Store and now the first began to take stock. Not so long ago we talked about. I recommend to look at the material, there are many unexpected solutions, as well as clear favorites like Prisma. Let's talk about the best mobile games from the App Store of 2016 for iPhone. There are also games on this list that surprised us. The guys from Apple were rather surprised, but they know better, we are talking about top games for mobile phones on iOS 2016 according to the AppStore.

The best games of 2016 according to the App Store

It has long been noticed that Apple is not indifferent to design. Therefore, all games have a cool design, sometimes unexpected, but always brought to the end. Always evocative and wow effect. The top games of 2016 in the App Store are arranged in alphabetical order so as not to infringe or provoke to a holivar. We will go through each super-game separately and express our opinion.

The Trail

A very unique life simulator. You have to engage in gathering, creation (create items and weapons), as well as small elements of the economy. The game is built from the third view, you can zoom in and out of the camera. The game world is huge, the tasks are quite interesting and do not cause boredom. The game has the ability to create things, trade them in order to gain access to new locations, build houses and even entire cities, and improve them. A social element has been introduced into the game - building cities together and traveling is more fun and comfortable. There are still cheats in the game, but we will not tell you where to find them, because the opponents of this way of playing.

Another card game, the golden age that began with the release of Hardstone. We and the nuances for beginners. In general, the game does not open up any new facets or innovations in the genre. Although, as far as maintaining diversity and bringing a younger and arcade generation into the genre, it's quite excellent. And in itself, the development of the Plants vs. Zombies brand inspires respect, the developers do not stop there.

FIFA Mobile Football

Great football simulator from EA. In the game you will see almost all the famous football players, players. Your team will fight for well-known trophies like the Champions League, or create your own tournaments with friends. Of course, there is the ability to control the tactics of the team, use and plunge into the transfer jungle, earning in-game currency (). The game has "craft" - the ability to create a "star", use it wisely,. The game deserves to be on this list, definitely!

Riptide GP: Renegade

Remember racing in star wars? It reminded me of something - the same crazy speed, interesting racing cars, an unusual landscape. In general, racing is what you need. The only (one? 🙂) difference is that we ride jet skis. The game even has a script, you can shoot a movie. You were caught doping (just kidding) and kicked out of the great world of jet skiers, now, in order to get to the top again, you need to start from the very bottom, ride through swamps and rivers, prove your skills. Of course, you will be given new types of jet skis and currency to upgrade existing ones. What else is worth paying attention to - the graphics, splashes of water and water in general are drawn so realistically, you just wonder. I think that's why Apple chose this game in its top best games 2016.

"klocki"

Very funny logic game, reminded me of "tags". To be honest, there's not much more to say about it and it's a little strange how it got into the 2016 games tom list. Again, remember that Apple loves design, and Diane is flawless here. Watch the video, the gameplay is simple - connect the lines.

Rodeo Stampede - Sky Zoo Safari

My current favourite. The game drags on. Not like that - a little more, a little more, no. Just quite slowly, once every 6 hours you can develop - go in, open the Zoo, make a few races and then go about your business. But about everything in order. You are the owner of the Zoo. And your task is to fill it with animals, and for this you travel around the world (starting from Savannah) and catch animals. The more unique the animal, here the imagination of the developers turns on, the more money it brings. Each animal is very individual and has a character, if you suddenly want to sit on it for a longer period of time. For example, an ostrich just breaks, a giraffe throws it out, a bull starts kicking, and a lion eats you :). Wonderful game, with pixel cute graphics, completely free and not time consuming. By the way, there is Russian.

As the developers say about themselves - the most realistic walking simulator! In fact, all we do in the game is walk. Yes Yes. Terribly unusual. Intriguing and captivating. Again, the same pixel graphics - oh, they beat it like everyone else, and most importantly - it's funny. Really funny, sometimes, game. And a bit of a lot of advertising, you shouldn't be so greedy, dear developers, and they were smart with the translation.

A wonderful game - a very ordinary "runner" with an unusual idea - changing colors while running. It's hard to explain on the fingers - watch the trailer. For me, it's very funny and unusual. Again, cool graphics, despite the fact that the pixel, the physics of objects and just a beautiful game.

There is absolutely no need to introduce . The game that conquered millions this year. Reminder that this is online. strategy game, which is also built on maps. I'll just repeat what is written in the description of the game in the App Store. The game didn't work for me.

• Fight in real time with opponents from all over the world for trophies;
• Get chests with rewards, collect new powerful cards and upgrade the ones you already have;
• Destroy enemy towers, win crowns and get epic royal chests;
• Gather and upgrade your card collection with new items clash royale, as well as dozens of warriors, spells and defensive structures from Clash;
• Create your own invincible combat deck and fight your opponents;
• Go through many arenas and get into the list of the best;
• Create your clan to share cards and build your own fighting community;
• Challenge your clanmates and friends to a duel;
• Learn different tactics by watching the best duels on TV Royale;

Another game of logic. And again "fifteen" 🙂 You need to scroll the playing field with chips so that the cells of the same color are collected in one motion. It would seem that it is simple, but it is not. And the occupation is very exciting and not always easy.

On this cheerful note, we conclude our roundup of the best games of 2016 according to the App Store. The TOP 10 games included 3 pixel art games, 2 puzzles, and several simulations: football simulator, life simulator and one race. What unites them all? Great graphics, sound and thoughtfulness of the plot. That's all. Good to you and peace!

The Apple mobile app store has been around for almost 10 years. On July 10, he celebrates his anniversary. Surprised? Not worth it. Yes, the App Store was born a year after the first iPhone.

They prefer not to talk about it, but at first Steve Jobs was against third-party software for Apple phones. But he was persuaded to change his mind by a member of the board of directors, Art Levinson, who held at least a dozen thematic meetings with the head of the company.

The App Store has changed our attitude to the world that has settled on the screens of the iPhone and iPad. We have selected 10 apps and games that have become favorites in the history of the app store.

Infinity Blade - Best Heroic Fantasy

Winner of Apple Design Awards 2011

This game has received so many awards that it's hard to count them all. The main thing, like all the programs in this collection, became the winner of the prestigious Apple Design Awards.

Imagine the first part Infinity Blade came out 7 years ago. Nevertheless, in terms of the quality of graphics, it remains one of the most beautiful even in 2018. At one time, it proved that even mobile projects can be AAA-level, and not a single RPG has yet been able to compare with it.

The game surprises with an exciting three-dimensional world that runs on Unreal Engine 3. It surrounds a lone knight who wants to save civilization at all costs.

Dozens of swords and shields, helmets and armor, magic rings and other wardrobe items of a fantasy hero - all this you will find in each part of the popular trilogy, the plot of which revolves around the Blade of Infinity.

In the games of the series, you will attack almost everyone you meet and meet with real players from different parts of the world, and also get to know the King-God and his henchmen.

Limbo is the darkest puzzle game ever

Winner of Apple Design Awards 2012

Do you know at least one developer who allowed the death of a child in the game? For a long time I did not meet such and even thought that it was something like a taboo. However, Limbo convinced me otherwise.

Judging by the name, the action of this amazing puzzle takes place in one of the circles of hell. Pre-Christian righteous people and children who were forgotten to be baptized live here. According to the developer, this ring is a twilight forest, and main character trying to get through it.

The game is stunning from the first seconds. At first it seems that you have a gothic picture or a gloomy Tim Burton cartoon in front of you, but with the first puzzle on the way, you will realize that not everything is so simple.

The dark forest of one of the circles of hell is filled not only with logical tasks, but also with huge monsters that will deprive the main character of life before your eyes more than once.

You can't physically defeat them. The boy knows how to run not so fast, clumsily jump and move small objects - it is with the help of such an arsenal that you will have to defeat this dark world.

BADLAND - feathered otherworldly platformer

Winner of Apple Design Awards 2013

The forest in which the story unfolds amazing game, looks like he stepped out of the pages of a beautiful fairy tale. However, immediately after the start of its passage, there is an understanding that this is by no means the case.

You will take control of a forest dweller that resembles a bird from Tiny Wings upon death. He will be your guide through an amazing number of unique traps and intricate obstacles scattered throughout each of the levels of the game. And not a single dozen times will die.

There is nothing to argue here, BADLAND brought the genre of side-scrolling platformers to a fundamentally new level, and there was simply nothing like it in the App Store before.

When the game became popular, the developers not only launched a sequel with a lot of fresh levels and even new mechanics controls, but also added a multiplayer battle mode to the game on one device.

Despite the fact that the first part of the game was released back in 2013, it remains relevant even in 2018. The only pity is that many have already passed all the additional levels that the developers managed to add.

Monument Valley - Reverse Geometry Distortion

First you will meet Princess Ida, and then Ro and her little daughter. You will not control them directly, but you will be able to move the architectural structures and mysterious monuments around them in such a way as to open the way for them.

Remember, in the games of the series Monument Valley you can't trust your head. No, here you only need to focus on what you see with your own eyes. It is this logical adventure that will introduce you to the world of surreal geometry for the first time, filled with optical illusions for every taste.

Each level in the game combines the ideas of virtual 3D minimalism, as well as palaces and temples from real world. This is a unique world that we had the honor to meet.

It was this game that launched a whole line of games with surreal geometry: Skyward, Evo Explores, Mekorama and so on. She actually created a separate genre.

If you have not tried this game yet or have already forgotten it, be sure to correct this annoying misunderstanding.

Chameleon Run - colorful crazy run

Winner of Apple Design Awards 2016

The only runner that I personally can not get bored. He does not copy popular games this direction - he has his own way, which helped him become the winner of the Apple Design Awards a couple of years ago.

The success of this game rests on 3 pillars: high-quality minimalistic graphics, insane dynamics of what is happening, as well as a simple addition in the form of a color change. Look, there are pink and yellow platforms in the game, and you must be the same color in order not to die on contact with them.

Each level of Chameleon Run is not only possible, but also necessary to go through several times. The fact is that you are given tasks that you must complete in order to move on. It is they who will force you to choose several paths through the location.

The game has a very convenient control, which gives you the ability to instantly respond to what is happening around. It only takes one tap on the right side of the screen to jump, and a simple tap on the left side to change the color.

The first levels in the game look quite simple. However, after a few levels, you will realize that you have met with the most hardcore entertainment.

Things 3 - Balanced Task Scheduler

Winner of Apple Design Awards 2009, 2017

During the creation of this material, I was more focused on the winners of the Apple Design Awards. However, the opinion of the company's judges largely coincided with mine, so this selection is a personal opinion.

In separate nominations in different years, 3 planners that I have ever used won: OmniFocus, Remember The Milk and Things. Each of them is well suited to the role of a tool of the Getting Things Done philosophy, but it was the last one that ended up liking me the most.

The fact is that OmniFocus requires too much attention and is designed for overly complex multi-level projects that are not so common in my work, and Remember The Milk is needed for those who generally forget about business.

It is this decision that I would like to call the most intelligent. It does not distract from the performance of work tasks, but provides all the necessary information about each of them in time.

And the developer managed to make an incredibly user-friendly interface, which is not only convenient, but also pleasant to use. So I want to plan something, so that later I can execute it as quickly as possible.

Sky Guide - atlas of the starry sky

Winner of Apple Design Awards 2014

The atlas of the starry sky has never been so simple and convenient. You just need to turn on the program and raise your iPhone or iPad above your head - you will immediately see exactly those constellations, planets and satellites that are on top.

I have the impression that this is not even a textbook for adults, but an educational encyclopedia for children from 5 to 95 years old. Whether you want to find the Pisces constellation, the lost Andromeda galaxy, or you just want to know as much information about Mars as you can, this app is perfect for you.

To make the process of studying celestial bodies even more interesting, you can run a real time machine and find out the most interesting events from their past, present and future.

Together with Sky Guide you can plan a romantic evening with a girl. To do this, you need to set a notification for any space events, and the program will send you a thematic notification directly on your Apple Watch.

A small nice addition for you will be a widget for the Notification Center, which will show the time of sunrise and sunset of the Sun, Moon and planets.

Workflow - a convenient way to automate

Winner of Apple Design Awards 2015

The Workflow app made this list because of the plethora of options for automating the routine tasks that you regularly repeat on your iPhone or iPad. There are hundreds of actions at your disposal that you can link into a workflow.

Last year, Apple bought the app with giblets, adding developers to the company's overall team. Initially, it was created by students who grew both physically and professionally during its development.

Already in iOS 12, this program will actually become part of iOS. With it, it will be possible to create workflows for Siri, which will be able to perform sequences of actions using shortcuts - simple voice commands.

Interestingly, this is not just an application, but a real social tool with which you can not only create workflows, but also share them with your friends using the built-in gallery.

A selection of the best iPhone games that will help you pass the time, get rid of boredom, or simply appreciate the variety of games presented on iOS platform projects.

Unfortunately, we can't go for a walk with our PS4 in our pocket yet, Xbox One or Nintendo Switch(at least for now). But the iPhone, with its modest dimensions, is ideal for all gamers who prefer to play games on the road. The only problem is to find a quality and really exciting game.

There are thousands of different options on the App Store, and if you're not ready to download each one to see how good it is, search interesting games can be very difficult. So we decided to save your time (and nerves) and compile a list of the 25 best iPhone games.

The Rusty Lake series consists of three games: Rusty Lake Hotel, Rusty Lake: Roots and Rusty Lake Paradise. But, believe me, it is worth starting with the Hotel. As in classic adventure games, Rusty Lake Hotel requires you to constantly solve various puzzles in order to get the items you need to advance the plot.

Against the background of other games of the genre, Hotel stands out for its non-standard style - all hotel guests are anthropomorphic animals ... which must be killed and cooked from them dinners. Rusty Lake is most reminiscent of the work of Edward Gorey: it is gloomy and cruel game with a masterful presentation of black humor that will somehow make you smile.

16.Device 6

Genre: Puzzle / Adventure

Download

It is rather difficult to explain what Device6 is. Yes, it's a puzzle, but you don't have to move blocks or try to get out of the room. For each word activity (Device6 is almost entirely text, which makes it feel like an interactive book), you'll need to get creative or use your iPhone in an unusual way.

You might think that Threes! - this is another clone of Candy Crush, created in a hurry on the wave of popularity of the famous project. And while it's technically a match-3 game, it's a lot more creative than you might think. Here you need to match the numbers by moving the corresponding tiles across the playing field.

And at first, it's pretty simple: put 1 and 2 together to get 3, add 3 and 3 for 6, add two 6s to get 12, and so on. But the fact is that the place on the playing field is limited, so the further you go, the more numbers will appear on the screen.

3. Pin out!

Addictive pinball with luscious neon graphics and a synth-pop soundtrack that adds variety to the gameplay with endless tables and time limits. Each of the levels here is decorated in its own style and has a complex design with traps, bonuses and shortcuts.

Addictive step-by-step strategy with minimalist graphics and procedural map generation. Lead one of the tribes and lead it to world domination, competing with other communities. Develop technologies, discover new lands and prove to everyone that you are the best ruler.

5. Slydris

An addictive puzzle game, the game mechanics is a bit like Tetris. Your task is to clear the playing field by filling in the lines. However, this is done here in a slightly different way: you cannot turn the pieces over - you can only move them. But this applies to all blocks, including those that have already fallen.

6. Clash Royale

Explosive mixture of online strategy with fast, short battles and fun gameplay. Having compiled a deck with troop cards and wisely using resources in battle, you need to defeat another player. Attack your opponent's towers, but don't forget to defend your own: the course of the battle can change drastically in an instant.

8. Look, Your Loot!

A funny card "bagel" about brave warrior mice storming dark dungeons for the sake of loot. By opening cards adjacent to the hero, the player receives bonuses, fights off monsters and escapes from traps scattered here and there. As you progress through here, you can improve your performance, as well as unlock new classes of fighters that allow you to use other tactics.

9. Threes! free play

An amazing numerical one that will make your brain strain properly. To score the maximum number of points, you need to stack tiles with each other - triples with triples, sixes with sixes and so on.

The difficulty lies in the fact that to get triples, you first need to add one to two. The numbers appear in any order, after a few moves there is less space on the field, and then the fun begins.

10. It's Full of Sparks

A life-affirming platformer about small firecrackers that live as long as their fuse burns. To prolong their lives, they need to learn the secret of the fireproof cord from their ancient relative. And for this you have to get through many dangerous levels, overcoming all the traps and obstacles.

I have been frustrated by the state of affairs in the App Store for several years now. There, either free freemium projects or overpriced crafts with an inflated rating rule the ball.

After the redesign of the App Store and the addition, the situation has not changed. 95-95% of the apps in the Apple store are outright slag.

I remember that about 5 years ago, almost every week I discovered a new interesting application, looked through digests and collections, and waited for a discount. Now everything worthwhile from the App Store has long been bought and passed.

One friend just switched to iOS from Android and immediately asked for some worthwhile toys with meaning and without sucking out money. I dug into my purchase history and remembered with nostalgia a few worthy options.

The selection includes both well-forgotten old toys and masterpieces of recent years. I recommend buying to anyone who is disappointed in the "money vacuum cleaners" and just wants a few hours of pleasure.

1. Craft The World

An excellent sandbox game about a company of charming gnomes.

We have to send our team to reconnoiter the territory, build a shelter, improve life, get food. In parallel, the wards will be attacked by wild animals and hordes of the undead.

In the process, you will have to craft various useful things, weapons and items in order to survive. You need to find parts of the portal hidden in the bowels of the map and move to the next level.

The game is available in two versions: 29 rub. with one open worlds and for 379 rub. with four worlds to explore. Do not think that the first option is unplayable, it will give you several hours of intense gameplay, which is enough for most.

2 Plague Inc.

Permanent member of the top paid applications for iOS. The game appeared more than three years ago and firmly established itself at the top of the rating.

We have to play the role of a ruthless virus, whose goal is to exterminate life on the planet. We choose the country from which we will begin our deadly procession and forward.

In the process, we will receive development points and spend them on improvements. You can develop modes of transmission to make the virus spread faster, you can invest in mutations to resist treatment, you can amplify the symptoms you cause to make it harder for people to fight the virus.

There are a lot of strategies and tactics in the game. There are different scenarios with changing conditions, starting bonuses and difficulty levels. You can arrange a light walk or a hardcore confrontation.

Considering the price, the game is a real MustHave.

3 Feed Me Oil 2

Great puzzle game for all ages. Children will definitely enjoy the design and visuals, while adults will enjoy the challenging tasks at the last levels.

We will be trying to place an oily liquid in a diverted reservoir. To do this, you will have to use improvised means: boards, magnets, fans, etc.

Closer to the middle, you will have to use hints to somehow get to the next level, and only real virtuosos will be able to score maximum stars.

4 Bike Baron

The true father of the mobile mototrial. The best game in this genre.

Here, the charismatic hero is captivating, and the red cat behind the baron's back, and thousands of custom cards, and various levels difficulties.

You can arrange rides with jumps and somersaults or climb into extreme mode, which will require several dozen attempts to complete each track.

I noticed this game back in 2011 and have been coming back to it regularly ever since.

5. Fruit Ninja Classic

Another application that has been collecting positive reviews and ratings from players for more than 5 years. At one time, the fruit ninja made it possible to demonstrate the sensitivity and responsiveness of the iPhone display to owners of other smartphones.

It's simple: you need to chop fruit in the allotted time and bypass the bombs. It is amazing that during the existence of the game, worthy clones did not appear, and the mechanics are still pleasing.

Today it's still good game with several interesting modes. There is even a single display duel to determine the best ninja in the office.

6. LIMBO

A beautiful atmospheric journey with a good plot and an abundance of puzzles. The game lit up in 2010 on the X-BOX, and then went on to all other platforms. The application has always earned laudatory reviews, got into thematic collections and received all kinds of awards.

A monochrome platformer with an abundance of hard deaths of the protagonist will definitely be remembered by everyone who spent several hours playing through it.

7. Don't Starve: Pocket Edition

The craziest sandbox about the survival of the protagonist straight from Steam moved to the App Store. The guy with the torch must do everything possible to fight off the enemies and not die in the wild forest.

We are allowed to explore a huge space, collect a lot of things and make useful things out of them. You can go fishing, hunt predators, destroy spider nests or bee hives.

In any case, it will be fun and interesting, and when the night comes, we will quickly throw wood on the fire so that the darkness does not swallow us.

All fans of crafting and survival games must play.

8. Fieldrunners 2

One of the best games in tower genre Defense. Subatomic Studios released the first part back in 2010, and a sequel appeared two years later. At the time, it was clear best defense towers.

Over the next five years, many similar games, but none of them ever held up to Fieldrunners in most respects.

There are also cool cartoon graphics, and crowds of funny enemies, and various levels with puzzles and limited passage conditions.

There are three levels of difficulty, the maximum makes you tense up even on the very first maps.
