Mobile games are here to fight boredom because they are an oasis of challenges and fun. Distraint is a 2D psychological horror, Blackbox is a puzzle game that uses the device's sensors, and Causality is all about manipulating time. Very good!
Blackbox
Blackbox (Free Game): One of the great things about touchscreen devices is, precisely, the touchscreen. But with Blackbox you don't touch the screen at all. Instead, the game uses every other sensor built into your mobile device: gyroscope, camera, microphone, accelerometer. To solve the puzzles and activate the light switches, you first have to figure out what you need to do, whether it's traveling, shouting at your device, or turning it upside down. It's absolutely diabolical and at the same time absolutely brilliant. You have to play it to really understand its mechanics. Developed by Ryan McLeod, Blackbox is available exclusively on iOS.

An amazing puzzle game about manipulating time, altering the sequence of events and changing the outcome of each level. Causality takes place in an alien world where you must help a group of stranded astronauts find their way home. Each level represents a brief but dangerous moment in time. Levels are completed by guiding each astronaut to an exit that matches their color, within a limited time frame. When all astronauts reach an exit, the level is complete. You have sixty levels to complete and thirteen achievements to unlock. Developed by Loju, Causality is available on iOS and Android.
Distraint: Pocket Pixel Horror
Distraint: Pocket Pixel Horror (Free Game): Originally developed for Windows, Distraint: Pocket Pixel Horror is a 2D psychological horror game. The story introduces us to an ambitious young man named Price who must evict an elderly woman to gain the support of an important company. At that moment, the young man discovers that he has put a price on his humanity. A mix of graphic adventure and psychological horror, the gameplay has you moving from left to right while solving puzzles to progress through the story. The game features hand-drawn graphics accompanied by exquisite music and atmospheric sounds that draw you into a unique story full of gripping twists. Developed by Jesse Makkonen, Distraint: Pocket Pixel Horror is available exclusively on Android.
Monopoly
Monopoly: Who doesn't like Monopoly? Buy, sell and trade famous Monopoly properties and watch the classic board game come to life with animations and simple gameplay. Tap the screen to manage your properties, build hotels or try "Luck", but always avoid going to jail. Play through three difficulty levels and save your current game at any time. You can also customize the number of players, the game rules, and even the table environment. Challenge your friends to see who takes the prize! Developed by Electronic Arts, Monopoly is available on iOS and Android.
Super Mario Run
If you're an Android user, you can celebrate because Super Mario Run finally arrived on the platform with a big update. The new version 2.0 includes new characters, color variants for Yoshi, and even the ability to play World 1-4 without purchasing the paid version, as long as you can beat Bowser's challenge. Nintendo promises that the game also hides new secrets, but for that you'll have to play it. For the debatable modest sum of ten dollars, you unlock more levels and all challenges, pitting yourself against your friends and building your own Mushroom Kingdom by purchasing items with all the coins you find in the game. Developed by Nintendo, Super Mario Run is available on iOS and Android.
