Julie's Journal : FCL's Favorite App Based Games

I just took a scientific survey of the library staff and came up with 12 great apps for your enjoyment!  Unfortunately, Debbie isn't here today, so I can't include her favorites.  All of us use iPhones or iPads, so while most of these should be available for Android devices, I can't guarantee it. 

Lisa:



1.  Redecor - This is a home design game with various challenges.  You can vote on your favorite designs and if your design wins, more options become available.  Lisa says this is her favorite game!
2.  Happy Color - Happy Color is a color by number game.  Some of the pictures are quite intricate.
3.  Crossword Puzzle Redstone - Just a good basic app to challenge your brain with crossword puzzles.

Julie:


1.  Homescapes and Gardenscapes - These are both Match 3 games where every win gives you stars with which to remodel either a dilapidated mansion or garden.  Austin the Butler, along with a cast of characters give you challenges to complete.
2.  Looney Tunes: World of Mayhem - I love anything Looney Tunes so when my nephew clued me in to the existence of this game, I immediately downloaded it.  Characters battle each other by dropping anvils on each other or using gavels to whack each other senseless.  When your team wins, new abilities and characters are unlocked.   

Christian:


1.  Candy Crush Soda - A fun Match 3 game where you are helping Kimmy on her journey to find Tiff.  Over 3000 levels of Sodalicious fun!
2.  Bubble Witch 3 - By the same creators as Candy Crush, Bubble Witch 3 is a bubble shooter game.  Your goal is to help Stella solve the puzzles to rescue the Fairy Queen. 
3.  Hidden City - Hidden City is a hidden object game.  There are 69 locations to search and over 5000 quests to complete.  The game includes challenges and mini-games in addition to the hidden object quests. 

Kass:


1.  Tap Tap Fish - uses a simple tapping action to gain points and build an aquarium
2.  Neko Atsume - Attract cats with food and then watch them play with your toys.  Special items get rare cats to visit your neighborhood.
3.  Animal Crossing Pocket Camp - Animal Crossing games surged in popularity during the shut down.  The app based version lets you design a campsite, camper or cabin with furniture, clothing, and accessories.  Fulfill animal requests to make friends with them and invite them to your campsite.
