I started playing Clash Royale because I thought it would be a quality game (from same developer as Clash of Clans) and that it would be a Hearthstone-lite seeing as it is a card game. While it is polished, I think the card aspect is just a gimmick – cards can be replaced with units and the game would be the same. I never played Clash of Clans but I guess this is a striped down version where you battle within an arena. Strangely, the game is not very addicting and even though there are IAP delay elements, I have no motivation to play it. I guess it’s an OK backburner game if I have spare time and I can’t play any of my other games.

Green The Planet is from a Japanese game company and has no IAP; also, it’s free yay! But after playing it for awhile, I think it’s basically a game where you get to look at a banner ad. The premise is that you have to destroy asteroids/comets using a planet-based canon to collect resources (there are a lot of different types, but they all convert to energy) and greenify the planet. There isn’t a lot of gameplay because you simply press on a spot in space and your cannon will fire. The asteroids travel across the screen in a simple linear fashion so they will run into your canon. After awhile, all you end up doing is pressing the screen and waiting – perfect time to watch the banner ad.
