Puzzle and action games tend to be of particularly great interest among mobile game players, as they can combine adventure and a casual gaming environment for quick play.  Here are some of the top new game releases for the Android:

Casual Android games

Similar to other block games, Tairu (free) gives you a board of colorful squares to be rearranged in order to form same-colored rectangles. Move columns and rows either horizontally or vertically to play the game.  The challenge is to beat each level within the number of allotted board moves. Tairu takes you through a series of levels to top leader boards.

Splat! Bugs II (free) for Android is an oddly addictive game, if you enjoy tapping your phone screen.  Kill all the bugs that crawl across your screen, facing various dangers along the way.  Different challenges give you the opportunity to boost your high score, spurring you to top the global leader boards. This Android game is definitely worth a try.

Android games that are full of direction

Connect the Dots is a free Android game that will keep your young ones occupied for a while.  Select a random image or pick one from the list, and start connecting.  Upon completion, the image will come to life.  Each image has a specified number of dots, so you can determine some level of difficulty for your kids.

Hyperspace LITE (free) is one of the few decent Android games that takes advantage of supported phones’ tilt function. As you try to move a ball on the game’s track, you will face aids and hindrances, such as blocks to make the ball bounce forward, or arrows to make the ball roll backwards. Time restrictions up the ante for Hyperspace LITE.
