Mobile games can be fun by simply feeling different from everything else out there. So if you like the feel of clay, this is one you may want to give a shot. Called Clay Jam you have to save the land of Clay Jam from Bully Beasts and you do that by rolling over them with your ball of clay. Your ball rolls on its own, you guide it by carving a canyon out of the clay for it to follow. As you roll over more monsters you clay ball gets bigger, the more clay you have at the end of each level, the more you can buy at the clay store in order to restore order to this world. And speaking of the end of each level, you have to roll your ball as fast as possible and bonk that giant monster back as far as possible in order to get closer to power ups in the game. Clay Jam is free for iOS and Android devices though you can buy more clay through in app purchases.

And 4 Pics 1 Word combines those addictive word and picture games into one neat package. Quite simply, you see four pictures on the screen, you then have to figure out what one word they all have in common. You get blank, Wheel of Fortune type letter spaces and a handful of letters to choose from to fill up those spaces. If you get stuck, there's a hint button down below. For a certain amount of virtual coins you can add a letter to your word or have a letter subtracted from your choices. 4 Pics 1 Word is again for iOS and Android devices and again is free though you can buy more clue coins as in app purchases.
