- Bullet Hell Monday– This venture is a good one for those who prefer action adventures that involves a massive shooter that shoots back at the enemy camp that is shooting at the players, and they are pretty good shots as they’re able to fire many bullets that rarely miss their target. But the game itself is highly entertaining with more than 50 levels, four difficulties, three game modes, and an online leaderboard.
- Crossy Road– When it comes to popularity, it is hard to find an alternative to Crossy Road, which is why many people consider to be the Frogger of the millennial generation, where the characters have to move across the roads, rivers, train tracks, mountains, and many other areas.
