1. Fast Like a Fox
Fast Like a Fox is level-based. In the game, someone has stolen the treasures of all the foxes, and it's your responsibility to find and return them all. Playing the game itself is easy; you hold down the running button on your gamepad, and the fox rises. You can press the jump button to jump over obstacles, chasms, coins, and gems hanging high in the air.
However, running is not everything in the game; You're supposed to slow down at just the right time to be able to collect every single piece of treasure on the level. At the end of each level, there is a diamond that you have to touch (or if you're running too fast).
However, funnily
enough, if you're too fast and you happen to jump over the diamonds, the level
isn't over, and you'll have to start all over again in a bit of away. Overall,
though, the game is pretty decent for a while, while enjoying the Material
Design-oriented graphics and the softer color schemes that come after the game.
2. Dead Trigger 2
Dead Trigger 2 is a first-person survival game set in a world torn apart by a global zombie apocalypse. If you're wondering if this is yet another zombie apocalypse game, it is. However, the "kind of" open-world maps and graphic quality makes for a very interesting game design.
You can complete maps, complete objectives, and more. The game requires a
gamepad to play, and you need to set it up before you can play the game. While
it takes some time to set up, I have found it difficult to customize the
controls when the game is launched. So you know how to go about playing the
game and complete the objectives assigned to you.
When the game starts, you're in a post-apocalyptic
world filled with zombies, and you're armed with only melee weapons and a
handcuff. More weapons are unlocked later in the game and give you the option
to play the game in various ways. The game is updated frequently, adding more
and more gameplay elements to keep you interested and engrossed in surviving
what can only be described as hell-holes.
3. Leo's Fate
Leo's Fortuner is a fun platformer game that will keep
you thrilled. Thanks to the well-designed levels, fluid gameplay, and
"easy to understand, hard to master" controls, the game will get you
hooked. In Leo's Fortune, you play Leopold: a spotless full-ball on the hunt
for a thief who steals his fortune. The levels are generally easy, interspersed
with some difficult moments that try to take you back in course.
There are about 24 levels in the game, plus a few bonus
levels, so the game will keep you hooked for a while. You can play the game
with the controller or use the Android TV remote control thanks to the easy
control scheme.
4. Asphalt 8:
Airborne
Asphalt 8 is one of my favorite Android TV games. It's incredibly fun to play and even comes with a multiplayer mode, making it even better. The game is available on the Play Store on Android TV and plays fine on the Mi Box. True, the frame rate isn't very smooth, but it's playable. You can connect a Bluetooth gamepad to your Android TV, and Asphalt will automatically detect it and tell you the operating schedule of your gamepad.
While playing the game TV box is possible, it makes
"not-so-exciting" gameplay. Add a Bluetooth controller to the mix,
though, and you'll find yourself racing across a giant screen in your living
room for tons of fun.
5. Crush Your Enemies
Crush Your Enemy has been one of my favorite games on iOS devices, and I was pleasantly surprised to see it play so well on an Android TV. is one of those games that shows that graphics aren't everything when it comes to making enjoyable games. The game uses graphics that look like 8-bit games of old and combines it with a gameplay that's very enjoyable to go through.
Crush Your Enemies combines fun gameplay with a story narrated with so much wit that it's almost impossible to let go of the game unless you hit a dead end with a mission that isn't there. It will not be complete.
The game requires a fair bit of strategy and forward-thinking,
especially once you progress to higher levels. Crush Your Enemy is a great game
for anyone who likes strategy games and doesn't mind expletive-filled
cutscenes.
Note: Crush Your Enemy is not suitable for children.
The language is harsh and full of adversities.
6. Into the Dead
Into the Dead is another game that I love playing on my Android phone, and it was a pleasant surprise to see this game being just as much fun on the big screen. Except more interesting. In addition, playing the game on a bigger screen gives the visuals a deeper perspective, allowing real horror to run across a field full of zombies, obstacles, and obstacles.
The
game is easily playable with a gamepad and lets you know the controls as you go
along. Running is automatic, and you have all the controls, avoiding zombies
(and obstacles like trees and abandoned cars), turning left or right, and
shooting randomly. The game is an endless runner, and as the distance
increases, it becomes more difficult to play. You have to be more
discriminating with the help you render toward other people.
7. Through the Fog
Through the Fog is a game that I didn't expect to be as fun on TV as on a mobile device. If I were to put it in one genre, I'd say it's a puzzle and adventure game. Getting through the Fog is surprisingly challenging and incredibly fun. In the game, you're in control, the wall, which keeps moving for lack of a better word.
Pressing the button turns the wall to the left and
right alternately and requires you to maneuver through a landscape with many
obstacles, some of which aren't visible until you're close enough. Do not close
The game is addictive, and if you are too far into puzzle/adventure games, you
will love playing Through the Fog.
8. Bad
Yet another fun game that you can play on your Android TV is the critically acclaimed and widely loved game Badlands. The game has received over 1 million ratings and averages 4.5/5, amazing. The minimalist graphics look great on TV, and the colors stand out well. You can play the game with the gamepad or with the Android TV remote control, and it feels like other tap-to-fly games like Flappy Bird. Except less annoying.
In Badlands, you can hit walls, and as many obstacles
as you want, as long as you don't get stuck in them, which results in death.
The objective is to pass the level while dodging obstacles and collecting
power-ups. The levels get progressively harder, and the game doesn't stop being
interesting.
9. Cross Road
Crossy Road is a funny game. The game premise is simple - you have to cross the streets while avoiding getting hit by traffic (which comes to both ways on some paths), and also avoid leaving the screen as the camera keeps leaning forward is, and you need to keep ahead that. What makes this game so addictive is that you feel like it's easy enough when it isn't and that you have to maintain a fast pace right from the start. Making your way through traffic is tough enough, but the game quickly moves on streams that you must cross while stepping on logs and leaves.
The graphic quality in the game is intentionally poor,
but that is what enhances the overall charm and charm of the game. Plus, the
fast-paced movement and easy control scheme are a lot of fun to play. Note that
games are best played with an Android TV remote instead of a gamepad.
10. Zombie Age 2
Zombie Age 2 is a fun, side-scrolling shooter game with light graphics and a fun take on killing zombies. The game begins with teaching you the basic movement and shooting plan that you will follow. Then, you are quickly thrown into the field, hoping to defend yourself with just a baseball bat and pistol.
The first couple of levels are easy, and when you start to
unlock weapons and start feeling invincible, you'll be sent to a level that
feels nearly impossible to complete.
That's the fun part of the game; it challenges you in unexpected ways, (successfully) tries to keep you on your feet, and gets your adrenaline pumping. The game is quite fun to play, and if you like shooter games that don't take themselves too seriously,
Zombie Age 2 is the perfect way
to spend some time shooting and bashing the zombies on your TV.
11. Does not commute
Does Not Commute is a very different type of game, and while it is confusing, to begin with, the purpose of the game becomes clear very quickly. The game follows the turn-by-turn stories of several different people, all of whom are headed somewhere, and you have to make sure that they do so in a given time limit while avoiding collisions with other cars.
Reach your
destination. From the start of the game, you have to think about things like
the shortest path to your destination, and then, as the game progresses, you'll
need to figure out the best paths for each of them so they don't Let's end up
colliding with each other, or with buildings and other obstacles.
The game is fun, and the graphics are great. The
gameplay is fluid and engaging; There's Something so fun about reading short
descriptions of people in cars and what they do. I would recommend this game
only when you have enough time on your hands and enough energy to do it
justice, to put a little thought into the game.
12. Mars: Mars
Mars is a fun way to kill time on your Android TV. The game's purpose is not immediately clear, or even after jumping over some 70 pads. Coming back to the game, you are an astronaut who has been sent to Mars, and for some reason, your only objective on the lonely Red Planet is to jump from pad to pad in your spaceship to manage your flight. Using thrusters, land slowly, without uncontrolled disassembly of your suit and you by extension.
For some reason, the game is extremely addictive, and you'll probably end up playing it (like me) for a long time, just waiting to see what happens next. The game offers plenty of challenges, and there's always Something that makes you want to keep playing.
13. BombSquad
BombSquad is one of those games that you can enjoy to the fullest with the keyboard, but not so much with the gamepad. However, if you attach the keyboard to your Android TV, you'll fall in love with BombSquad. The game supports multiple gameplay modes, including single-player/co-op or multiplayer.
BombSquad has tons of great levels, and the sole
objective of the game is to kill all of your friends' characters. You can punch
them, pick them up and throw them off the platform (effectively killing them),
or chuck a bomb at them. Even in single-player mode, the game is great fun, but
playing with friends will bring out its true potential. It would be best if you
tried it with some of your friends.
14. Beach Buggy Racing
If you are interested in racing games, Beach BuggyRacing is a great racing game that you can play on your Android TV. The best thing about this game is that you can easily control the beach garden that you are about to race. The control scheme is easy to understand, and the game doesn't use super precise physics, which, to be honest, can be annoying on a casual game.
This game teaches you how to drive your car and how to upgrade
it... all the basics of the game. While racing, you can pick up various
power-ups that give you a variety of powers, including things like rockets to
shove your opponents out of your way. Front extends to speed anyone up and
more.
You can also get shields, which protect you from
rockets and bombings by your opponents. The game itself is a lot of fun, partly
because of the smooth gameplay and because it doesn't try to complicate itself,
and the controls, and handling of the car, are sweet and simple, Something I
like.
15. Dan the Man: Action Platformer
Dan the Man is an action platformer who looks and feels like Super Mario. The gameplay is very similar, and even the way the game progresses is exactly like Mario's. I loved playing the game, even though the music wasn't really in keeping with the game's tone.
Like Super Mario, you'll
have to make your way through many obstacles and defeat easy enemies. Several
urns are placed throughout the level, which can be broken by punching and
kicking to obtain coins or (sometimes) ammo.
The game has many different weapons; I only played the game for a short while, and I was able to get my hands on some ninja stars, throwing knives, and even machine guns. It would help if you tried it.
