Match Factory
Publisher: Peak
Available on: iOS
Match Factory is a pretty simple puzzler, but it’s got a big “one more go” feel. Before you know it, you’ve played enough of the game to get to your destination and no longer have any Wi-Fi in the underground. Or at least, when I play it, that’s the case.
Match Factory has you looking at loads of 3D, physics-based objects, trying to select the same type of object to make a match. You will need to select three of the same objects to disappear them from the bottom bar of storage items. If this bar gets completely full, the game ends and you lose the level. There are specific items in each level that you are looking for and finding all of them will complete the level.
Match Factory has plenty of items to help you out like a vacuum that takes away a bunch of the items you don’t need, a fan to shuffle things about so you can see what’s below, and extra time for the level.

Traffic Rider
Available on: iOS + Android
If you’re confident in your reflexes at high speed, then test your skills in the latest version of Traffic Rider.

After winning each match, you will be rewarded handsomely and you can head to the garage to either buy a new bike or upgrade your existing one. We have to mention that there are around 30 bikes to pick from at the moment, and all of the motor sounds are genuine, which will crank up the immersion sky-high. However, there is no option to select the difficulty level as it increases with time spent cruising on the roads. After levelling up, you can unlock new destinations and set new records on the streets.

I mean, you can also play as a humanoid, as there are around 150 characters that you can pick in this amazing offline experience, but where’s the fun in that? It has a multiplayer feature that lets you use the same device to play with friends.
Interestingly, Crossy Road can be played on an Android TV too. You can enjoy the gameplay and control your characters on a bigger screen. or play together with your kids or siblings.
“How to unlock every Crossy Road mystery character?” is the most common question that players have. Of course, our guide will teach you how!
