Many great Android games have been updated for the holidays, while some of these are loaded with familiar tmas images, others simply offer some winter gaming fun that’s perfect for right about now. Here’s a look at 10 of the top games you can play today, split between older favorites more recent fare, all of which have some welcome seasonal spirit. The game’s holiday level transports your lanky hero from the sidewalks to the rooftops, as he must make each step while not stepping on cracks or falling between houses. You’ll also need to avoid slipping on snow, all the while you’ll deliver presents you pick up by dumping them in chimneys. Even Santa makes an appearance as he brings you coins to spend on prizes. Steppy nts (Free) Of course, that’s just one of many winter areas in the game. You’ll find the original tmas batch of levels from years ago, along with a few other tmas winter-themed level packs along the way. Most of the old stuff must now be unlocked using in-game coins, however, but those can also be purchased with real money if you’re in a hurry. Angry Birds Seasons (Free) That’s clear from the menu screen, with the game’s logo wrapped in glowing lights, plus the new default golfer costume is a Santa suit (in male or female varieties). You can also pop on a Santa hat, while there’s no dedicated tmas or holiday course, Snow Field is a pretty ideal locale for Santa to hit the links. Super Stickman Golf 3 (Free) You can swap out your generic car for a sweet Santa sleigh, complete with a reindeer, but the change in what you see doesn’t alter how slippery the steering is. And when you ultimately crash into a wall, your sleigh will detonate into an explosive cloud of wrapped presents. The game’s Ice Road stage also has tmas sights now, but you’ll have to play quite a bit to unlock that late-game location. Thumb Drift (Free) The title might be a mouthful, but it’s absolutely true: building a good snowman is indeed difficult, as you must roll three snowballs around a yard filled with fresh powder. Each roll makes the smaller balls larger, but you’ll need one of each size to build your snow buddy. Finding success means figuring out the correct positioning, order of maneuvers, number of moves needed to get the job done right. A Good Snowman is Hard to Build ($4.99) You can also dress up Barry Steakfries with some sweet seasonal gear. A Santa hat outfit are available for purchase with in-game coins, along with a tmas tree jetpack that replaces your normal bullet-spewing one. And there’s a Santa sleigh available for purchase if you really want to rock the tmas theme: it usually sells for $5, but it’s down to $1 as of this writing. tpack yride (Free) ay Ski Safari if you want something livelier cartoonish; to’s Adventure does a great job of being warm inviting as you slide down the slopes, dodge hazards, soak in the gorgeous backdrops weather effects while setting new distance records. It’ll be a nice, quiet break between some of the more aggressive fare on this list. to’s Adventure (Free) In the mini-games, you’ll smack the ball at items found on the other half: you’ll try to knock down little snowmen, for example, or aim the ball to l inside a little gingerbread house. And bits of tinsel are stuck to a half-folded table in another game, in which you’ll try to hit those points targets while ensuring that the ball doesn’t stop bouncing. Table Tennis Touch ($2.99) Now your young hoodlum is escaping a man in a Santa hat ( his antler-wearing dog) as you run through the train yard, which is appropriately loaded with tmas trees, presents, other holiday sights. You can also unlock holiday winter-themed costumes of all sorts, plus you’ll find frosty penguin items to pick up on the tracks to complete challenges. Subway Surfers (Free) In the tmas levels, you’ll tap the screen repeatedly to make a snowflake bounce higher higher while only passing it through only like-colored obstacles—such as a tree made of dancing ornaments. Color Switch offers a tricky challenge, but it’s also drenched in video ads that pop up very frequently. If you end up loving the game, spend the $3 within to kill the ads for good.
