Mobile games have an advantage over most computer games, which is that they are much easier to download and do not require greater technical capacity, that is, almost any mobile phone on the market can run them. In addition, they are free and much simpler and shorter to play. Also, some allow the player to video call their friends and feel that they are even closer.
The popularity of games on smartphones is undoubtedly increasing, the additions to game application stores with millions of computer players, such as Fortnite, the most recent TFT Teamfights Tactics from Riot Games or the Call of Duty Mobile app, are an example of this.
Other games that lived glorious moments and that had lowered their flow of users such as Clash Royale or Clash of Clans, are again recovering their players and new games appear daily to download and hang out.
House party, for example, is an application that was launched in 2016, but that everyone is talking about, it has more than 10 million downloads and allows group video calls with up to 8 members.
There, participants can choose between 4 available games: Trivia, (where players answer different questionnaires), Quick Draw!, (one player draws on the screen while others guess), Heads Up !, (users must give clues a player to guess which character it is) and Chips and Guac. For all players to play in real time, just press the dice-shaped button during the video call.
A classic game that was adapted to be played on a cell phone is parquet. The Parchis STAR application had its launch in 2017 and already has more than 10 million downloads in the Play Store. It allows you to play games with several modalities: one against one, of teams of two or four against four. Users can choose to play with their friends by sending them an invite or play a random game with anyone in the world. In addition, users can communicate with their opponents through text messages. This 'online' multiplayer game is available for iOS and Android and is totally free. There are other games that were played at school with friends, are also adapted to be played on a cell phone.
For teens and young adults who want more challenging games, they are not satisfied with just playing, solving puzzles, and so on. Some of them go even further by gambling online on sites like 22Bet Uganda.
Broadly speaking, online game apps are an oasis of thirst for entertainment in the midst of this pandemic. By playing online games, they can get rid of boredom, and possibly win some money too.
