Top 10 Lightweight Games for Android

Android’s unrivaled growth in recent years is nothing less than astonishing. The most popular OS on planet Earth is, thus, also a popular gaming platform. That’s also thanks to the tremendous growth in mobile technologies that have made today’s mobile devices capable of running graphics intensive programs. Popular titles from large game companies such as FIFA, Assassin’s Creed, etc. now also get an Android counterpart, optimized for touch. You can even play everybody’s favorite GTA Vice City on Android. These games are all huge in size, however. But we’re going to be listing the top 10 lightweight games for Android.

Most of these games should be well under a 50MB in size, but they are still as much fun, if not more, than all those huge games. These games will therefore not hog your smartphone storage, or eat your data each time the developer releases an update.

The game as such does not have a definite goal, but if you’re the head of a company, one would assume the goal is to make the company the best at what it does. The artistic style of the game reminds of the Nintendo Gameboy days but don’t ditch it just because it looks old. There are a lot of entertaining hours packed in this small game. You only get 2 in-game years in the free version, but you can also buy the full version on the Play Store if you like it enough.

8. Grand Prix Story 2
