Top 10 Games to Keep you Merry & Cosy Over the Holiday Season
Christmas trees, decorations, presents, food, holidays, time off, drinks, family, friends. Stop. Start again. The holiday season is at the door and all the magic (and stress) captures everyone for 2 weeks. It’s also a time when you can find an opportunity to do things that you do much less the rest of the year; playing games is one!
2017 has been a great year for GameAnalytics, team growth, product improvements, and many new amazing games that have used our tool and reached some record numbers.
The list is pretty long, and it wasn’t an easy choice, but here’s a list of our top 10 favourite games that we’ve enjoyed playing over the past year (and even longer for some!).
I hope it helps with the Xmas dinner hangover…
10. Idle Miner Tycoon
Developed by Fluffy Fairy Games
OK. Christmas is your time off – you probably don’t want to hear about any kind of work. Despite that, building your own mining empire could be a lot of fun!
This hit game by our Finnish friends has thousands of positive reviews on both iOS and Google Play stores. Time to get your hands dirty from your sofa.
9. Basketball FRVR
Developed by FRVR
If you like to keep practising your basketball skills on a sleepy Boxing Day, this is the best (and warmest) way to do that. FRVR has released many hit titles over the last year, but Basketball FRVR is definitely our favourite. Simple, polished and addictive. .
A simple and engaging interface and one basic goal, keep making those hoops!
8. Zombie Gunship
Developed by Limbic
It’s Zombie-Apocalypse time and you need to save the world using your heavily-armed AC-130 ground attack aircraft. That sounds amazing, and it is!
A really enjoyable gaming experience and a fairly new addition to the genre that gives you a boost of adrenaline – even in the first levels.
7. Last Day on Earth
Developed by Kefir
A great hit out of the blue by the Russian studio Kefir.Last Day on Earth is a FREE MMORPG zombie shooter survival and strategy game, where all survivors are driven by one target: stay alive and survive as long as you can in this post apocalypse game where you shoot walking dead zombies.
6. Zombie Catchers
Developed by Two Men and a Dog
Another invasion, more zombies!
A fun game by Two Men and a Dog studio that reached the top 10 games in 90 countries. It sees you earn profit by killing monsters. Money in the bank.
Reviews of users are super positive and people actually ask for more levels and more capsules to make it more addictive. Well done!
5. Dune
Developed by Voodoo
Another worthwhile mention is Dune! It sees you manipulate the gravitational pull of a comet on a beautifully visualized space backdrop.
Millions of downloads and 5 star reviews for one of the latest hits by our french friends, merci!
Continue your reading and you’ll find some more great stuff from Voodoo…
4. Adopt Me!
Developed by Dreamcraft/Roblox
Over 55 million players imagine, build, and play together within immersive 3D worlds every month. Every game in ROBLOX platform is generated by users with the opportunity to customize the experience, meet new friends, share your progress and much more.
Compared to the other components of this list, it may not be a hit game per-se, but we feel the whole platform definitely deserves a special place here and on your phone.
3. Rider
Developed by Monkeyfood, published by Ketchapp
A big hit since day 1, and it’s easy to see why;
Rider is an exciting and addictive action-stunt game that we all love here at GameAnalytics.
Every great game is simple and intuitive to play – it never gets old!
“Awesome Game!! Really I like this game. I don’t even have words to describe it. Totally Fantastic… “
Android User’s review
2. Pou
Developed by Zakeh
Adopt your own digi-pet and take care of it.
Feed it, clean it, play with it and watch it grow up while leveling up and unlocking different wallpapers and outfits to satisfy your unique taste.
Available in almost every language, this game is a blast for the 90s Tamagotchi fans!
1. Snake vs Block
Developed by Voodoo
And finally the number one. Or the number 1s I’d say!
It’s been an incredible 2017 for Voodoo games “hits machine” and it wasn’t easy for us to choose one of their beauties for this Holiday ranking.
Snake VS Block is probably my personal favourite. It’s a smooth and engaging experience that will keep you entertained for each play.
We look forward to seeing the next hit from Voodoo!
