What iPhone/Android game are you playing?

I have decided to give up on Flappy Bird. I really hate the combination of addictive & stressful.

So what should I play? Any other new super-short (<1 minute) games that are fun?

I'm trying out Threes, but haven't really gotten too deep into it yet. (On that note, I find myself preferring games that cost money up front and don't have ads or in-app purchases.)

New Star Soccer is pretty fun, I don't even like soccer.

Also, Sword and Poker is a lot of fun. It's an older game, so you might have already played it.

@Kevin, Ah, I have played Sword & Poker. It's old enough I'm surprised there's not a newer version out now.

@jkearney I do play Quizup a lot, good call on that one.

@ohjonnyboy I keep trying the emulated stuff out, but I'm always annoyed at non-native controls. The best has been my iCade with Mame, but even that is mostly going unused (especially now that I traded in for the iPad mini).

I like the "flick" games. Flick kick, football, soccer, etc. Two developers that i like are PikPok and Full Fat. not quite <1 minute, but 1-4 minutes.

I downloaded HillClimb racer when I first got my phone a little over a year ago. It's a blast. They're continually adding more cars and stages.

His plan worked. I downloaded it before it got pulled, but would've ignored it otherwise.

@Thumperchick, You can still play it on Android if you enable 3rd party apps and go here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/e0b92oxyonfr7qi/Flappy+Bird_v1.3_apk-up.blogspot.com.apk

I just installed it on my son's android tablet and he's rocking away

Right now I'm playing:

Blackjack Free from PepperJack - trying to improve my Blackjack game...last time I regularly played this, I got up to $600K.

Doge Game - pretty simple, yet difficult to master. Extra fun if you love Doge!
