There are a lot of things to do with your phone when you have no internet. One of them is gaming. And no, you do not have to install these games. This article would highlight 7 Google in-built games to play and kill time with when you have no internet.
Built-In Google Games to Play Offline
Google Play Services comes with quite a number of games already installed on your android device. To access these pre-installed games, just open your Google Play Store app or Google Games app. Here are some of the Google inbuilt games you can play when your internet goes down.
1. Hot Air Balloon
This game is pretty easy. You start at the bottom and progress to the top while avoiding obstacles. The obstacles are random, and you must skillfully move away or around them. If you hit an obstacle, you lose. While avoiding the obstacles, you need to touch as many balls as you can to increase your points! Bonuses in the form of multicolored balls pop up from time to time and make you immune to obstacles.
The Hot Air Balloon game is really basic and in black and white. It doesn't have the best graphics or flow, but it is a good game to kill time.
2. Solitaire
Solitaire is a very popular card game. The goal of Solitaire is to arrange a deck of cards according to their respective suits (hearts, spades, diamonds, clubs) from Ace (the lowest) to the King (the highest) without getting stuck. The game has two levels—easy and hard—and you get to choose before starting. It allows you to undo moves and is also a fun game to play if you love card games.
3. Snake
The snake game is a very simple and easy-to-play game that has been a general favorite for decades. The aim of the game is to feed the snake as much as you can without hitting any of the boundaries. As your snake eats more fruits or objects, your points increase and the snake gets longer. Make sure you don't let the snake bite itself, or else you lose!
4. Whirlybird
The Whirlybird game is very similar to the hot air balloon game. In this game, however, you have to tilt your phone to make sure you land on ledges as the whirlybird bounces around. There are boosters that propel you upwards at fast speeds, and your scores increase as you advance.
5. Minesweeper
Minesweeper is a very tricky puzzle game. The game comprises a rectangular board of square tiles, and beneath some of those tiles are mines. If you open a tile with a mine, you lose the game! When you open a safe tile, it gives you a number that allows you to guess the pattern and win the game.
6. Pac-Man
Pac-Man is a famous game, and you've most probably heard of it. In this game, the Pac-Man character is stuck in a maze, and you have to eat as many pellets as you can while being chased by the ghosts. When you eat the large pellets, Power pellets, you become immune to the ghosts and can even eat them for points.
7. HopMania
HopMania is a pretty simple game about hopping, as the name implies. When you start the game, you get to choose between two avatars, a frog and a chicken. The purpose of the game is to hop as long as you can without hitting any obstacles. And, as you progress, the pace of the game increases, and more obstacles will get in your way.
