"Nice and great app for spending time and real-time competition"

Game apps are one of the best ways to keep yourself occupied during this lockdown period.

The ongoing pandemic has meant that more than one-third of the entire population is under some sort of restriction in order to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus.

Approximately three billion people are stuck indoors for the foreseeable future.

This means that boredom may have sunk in for some people, with nothing to do except for eating, sleeping, working, spending time with family and making phone calls.

However, playing games is one way to keep yourself entertained during a difficult period.

Even the World Health Organisation has urged citizens to stay at home and play games.

With so many gaming apps available for free, a tap of the screen is all that is needed to download your desired game. Even with social distancing, there are a plethora of games to keep you connected with family and friends.

Here are 10 game apps to play during this lockdown period.

Cut the Rope is a physics-based puzzle game which requires logic.

This casual game requires players to feed sweets to a little green creature named Om Nom while collecting stars.

In each level, the sweet hangs by one or several ropes which the player must cut with a swipe of their finger. Use various objects like floating bubbles to manipulate the sweet around obstacles to get to Om Nom’s mouth.

Every level is scored between three and zero stars, according to how many stars are picked up. Points are awarded depending on the number of stars collected and the amount of time taken to complete the level.

Each level becomes harder, providing more of a challenge to gamers.

It sounds simple but the slight miscalculation can result in missing stars. This makes for lots of engagement as players figure out how to get the maximum number of stars.
