1. Willow Smash – cricket batting

Willow Smash puts you at the crease in a packed, floodlit stadium. Chase over targets against bowling that gets quicker and trickier ball by ball: medium pace, big swing, bouncers, yorkers, off-spin and leg-spin googlies. Time your swing to drive, pull and cut, run your singles and twos, or loft the ball into the crowd for six.

There are 12 stages, then endless stages that keep getting harder, plus Endless Batting, a Super Over mode, a daily challenge and a daily match. You can even send a friend a match link so they face the very same balls — the higher score wins.

Tip: read our cricket batting tips to learn when to defend and when to loft.

2. Spot Kick Clash – football penalty shootouts

Feel the pressure of a shootout in Spot Kick Clash. Pick one of eight fictional nations and climb the Bronze, Silver, Gold and Legends cups. Swipe to shoot — aim for the corners, swipe harder for power and curve your swipe to bend the ball — then tap to dive as the keeper.

Target Practice gives you ten kicks at targets with bullseyes and combo multipliers, which is the best way to learn the controls. Our penalty kick tips explain how to beat the keeper.

3. Hoop Flick – basketball shooting

Hoop Flick is a basketball shooting game in a glowing arena. Flick the ball toward the hoop, bank it off the glass or sink a clean swish for a bigger score and bonus seconds. Keep a streak going and you catch fire.

From 20 points the hoop starts to move, and the Skyline Shootout adds five racks of five balls, wind and a Star Ball worth double. Ranks run from Rookie to Legend.

4. Wobble Dunk – floppy 2-on-2 basketball

Wobble Dunk is basketball at its silliest. Each team has just one button: hold it and your two wobbly players jump and swing their long arms; the ball flies at the top of the swing. Random twists every point — from moon gravity to big heads — keep every game unpredictable.

Play a season against eight teams on six courts, a quick match against the computer, or two players on one screen. It is one of the best laughs you can have on one device; see more in our list of free 2-player games.

5. Cue Lagoon – 8-ball pool

Cue Lagoon is an 8-ball pool game at a moonlit lagoon bar. Real ball physics with follow, draw and side spin make every shot feel right, and a guide line shows where the object ball and cue ball will go. Play the computer on Easy, Normal or Hard, take on the Lagoon Tour of eight pool sharks, or pass the cue to a friend.

6. Putt Paradise – mini golf

Putt Paradise tours sixteen tropical holes on four islands. Drag back to aim, set your power and roll the ball in, around bumpers, spinning paddles, sliding gates, hills, sand and water. An aiming line shows the first rail bounce, so bank shots are easy to learn. It is relaxed, family-friendly and rated 3+.

7. Carrom Comet – carrom

The much-loved South Asian tabletop game comes to life in Carrom Comet. Flick the striker across a polished board under a starry sky, with real physics for bounces, cut shots and cushion rebounds. Play six Carrom Club rivals, the computer on three levels, 30 Trick Shot puzzles or two-player pass-and-play.

Learn the rules in how to play carrom.

8. Glide Puck – air hockey

Glide Puck is fast air hockey on a glowing neon table. Slide your mallet, bank the puck off the rails and smash it into the goal slot; every goal ends in a slow-motion blast. Take on the Neon League's six rivals, try the Bumper Arcade with pinball bumpers, or split the screen with a friend, one half each.

9. Paddle Duel – paddle ball

Paddle Duel is a fast paddle ball match on a 3D neon table against six cartoon rivals who cheer, sulk and trash-talk. The Power Court adds four powers — long paddle, shrink ray, blaze ball and shield — and you can earn up to three stars against each rival.
