Best and Worst Apps I've played

There are many apps out there. being fond of games and somewhat of a gamer myself I've tested and played many app already.  Here is my list of best and worst apps played:

Best Apps:

1. Fruit Ninja

Fruit ninja is an arcade based skill game that makes use of the player's fingers. The goal of fruit ninja is very simple to slice up as much fruit as you can and to avoid hitting the bombs. The original has 3 modes the normal or classic where you have 3 lives and each time you hit a bomb you lose a life. The second mode is the zen or "relax" mode because there are no bombs in this mode but it has a time limit of 90 seconds. The third mode is the arcade mode which has power-ups and  hitting the bomb in this mode will deduct 10 points from your score. It is one of the best apps I've played because it is simple yet addicting. especially if you get a high score. As of now there is even a two-player mode in fruit ninja which means that this app is still popular and is in the process of further development.

2. Infinity Blade

Infinity Blade is a fighting game where your main goal is to avenge your father by defeating the dark knight. The game is called Infinity Blade because it takes almost infinite times before you can actually defeat the dark knight and the game keeps on going back to the beginning almost like an infinite loop. This game also requires skill and quick finger movements in order to win battles. It also features an inventory where the items as well as the player gain experience points. For me it is one of my best apps played because it has lots of action and also the inventory has many weapons, armor and accessories to choose from. some accessories even grant you the power to cast spells on your opponents. It is also a never ending game play the goal is to just keep on fighting to better your character and your items.

3. Dude where's my water?

This game is actually a puzzle game that teaches about some physics concepts. It is really fun and challenging at the same time. The goal in this game is to guide the water to the pipes so that the Swampy the Alligator can take his shower in the bathtub.

Worst Apps

So far here are some apps I find bad if not the worst.

1.  Candle

Some smart phones come with useless app and the candle is one of them. It is one of the worst apps because it just simulates how a candle works sure you play with it a bit like the fire and stuff but it's just plain boring.

2. Paper Toss


This game is somewhat difficult to play. It uses some principles of physics. Some think it is fun but it's kinda hard to throw and shoot the paper in the basket The graphics are good but the game play is quite difficult. This game is only good for those people with good control of their fingers. most everyone would have a hard time getting a decent score in this game.

3. Paper airplane games



As far as I am concerned paper airplane apps for me are boring and hard to play because you have to guide the plane using touch controls. If it was not touch based it could be better because in the non-touch controls you can select the power level and the angle. which is not the case for touch controls.  Paper airplane games usually start with a low class plane or a simple design which as you progress through the game you can modify and upgrade. this feature makes it sticky but the controls are what bother me. So for me this is a not so good app.
