Micro Battles 2

This dead-simple 2-player same-device game could easily be overlooked as a result of its 8-bit graphics, but don’t be fooled! Micro Battles 2 is a 2-player collection of four mini-games, played with just one on-screen button for each player, and the retro-simplicity makes for a set of games that you just don’t want to put down.

Free users are limited to a daily “free spin”, randomly choosing the game available for the day, with the others locked. You will have the choice to either play a tank based game, whereby tapping and tapping and holding controls both forward movement and the firing, first to five points wins.

In the second game you each control a frog, aiming to reach five points first by hopping into flies on-screen, tap, hold then release to hop.

Thirdly you duel as pirates, aiming to off each other five times with a sword, this is a favorite of many.

Lastly you play a simple space shooter. Given the addictive nature of this game, many opt to purchase it to be able to pick what they want to play. All four games are lots of fun though, making this a fantastic 2 player game for Android.

Glow Hockey 2

Air hockey is addictive enough in real life and now you can play it on your Android too! Glow Hockey 2 is air hockey on your Android for two players.

Basically Pong on steroids, this air hockey game is easy to pick u and play, but it grows on you, driving you to hone your skills as you begin to play more and more. Game-play is smooth and responsive.

This game does not have many features, owning just one game mode, but this does not detract from the high-paced fun. Great sound affects combine with beautiful visuals to add a bit of polish to the timeless style and re-playability of classic Pong style games.
