To help you enjoy the very best, while saving some pennies at the same time, we’ve put together our list of the top 10 free Windows Phone games you can download and play today.
Pandas vs. Ninjas
Despite a clear influence from a certain avian-themed smartphone classic, Pandas vs. Ninjas stands up well on its own and is a great game for the Lumia 800. The aim is to protect your panda’s homeland against deadly ninjas by flinging an assortment of animals at the ninja’s camps and destroying their defences. And with its colourful graphics and easy gameplay, Pandas vs. Ninjas is loads of fun.
Blocked In Free
Fun, easy to pick up and maddeningly difficult to master, Blocked In Free is a fantastic brainteaser. The premise is easy; all you have to do is slide an array of wooden blocks horizontally and vertically to clear the way to move a single coloured block off the board. In practice though, things are far more difficult, making this this one of the most challenging and addictive games you can play on your Lumia 800.
Mars Runner
If you like a bit more adrenaline from your games, then Mars Runner is the one for you. Putting you right in the thick of an otherworldly 3D environment, you must race across the surface of Mars, avoiding obstacles along the way, to rise up the ranks and become the next Martian president. Packing hours of high-speed thrills and great racing action, Mars Runner is a fantastic racer for your Lumia 800.
Jewel³
While there are many jewel-matching games out there, Jewel³ is one of the best for the Lumia 800. All you have to in this fast, fun and accessible puzzle game is match three or more jewels from the stream of multi-coloured gems that fill the screen. As you match jewels, you win points and with its gorgeous graphics and easy touchscreen controls, Jewel³ provides a great way to stay entertained on your Lumia 800.
Pirates Assault
Get swashbuckling on your Lumia 800 with Pirates Assault as you protect your ill-gotten treasure from thieves. One of the best tower defence games you can play on your Nokia Windows Phone, Pirates Assault is great to play and packed with cannons, ships, rum, parrots and stolen loot, letting you live out all of your pirate dreams and enjoy hours of adventurous fun wherever you go.
Physi Bricks
Sometimes the simplest games are the best and Physi Bricks is the perfect example. The object of this great physics-based game is to knock all the green bricks off the screen, using the impressive arsenal at your disposal. With explosive, implosive, disintegrating, and anti-gravity weapons to choose from, among others, you must use wits as much as brute strength if you’re to win, making for a challenging game on the Lumia 800.
Tangled Birds
Not so much Angry Birds, but more Slightly Miserable Birds, this great game requires you to untangle an array of cute feathered friends and set them free using your reflexes and cunning. With the simple, yet endearing graphics, great music and near-perfect difficulty level, you can get stuck in straight away and then spend hours mastering the controls and racking up ever better results, making for an essential game on the Lumia 800.
Penguin
For anyone that thinks penguins can’t fly, we challenge you to try Penguin on your Lumia 800. While the simple graphics may not blow you away, the great gameplay and fun controls are sure to grab your attention, as you battle to help your penguin fly further and faster than ever before. With fish to eat along the way and ever-greater jumps to be made, this basic but brilliant game should be an immediate download on your Lumia 800.
Word Search
For more cerebral entertainment, Word Search provides a sedate yet fun way to pass the time. As the name suggests, all you have to do is scour the jumble of letters on your Lumia 800’s screen and find a set list of words among the muddle. Words can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal and you’ll need a keen eye if you’re to spot them all, making this a relaxing yet fun way to while away the hours on your daily commute.
Square Off Free
And if you want a bit more excitement on the trip to work, then make sure to give Square Off a try. Putting you right in the heat of battle against a horde of lethal aliens, you must pull out all the stops and wield an array of deadly weapons if you’re to blast your way to freedom. Crammed with action and featuring gorgeous cartoony graphics, this is a fantastic shoot-‘em-up that will take you back to the old days of hectic 90’s gaming.
With its beautiful screen, great usability and excellent battery life, the Nokia Lumia 800 is the perfect Windows Phone for the best in smartphone gaming, so whether you try one of these great games, or you download them all, you can enjoy hours of high-quality entertainment no matter where you go.
