However, you have to do your best not to get blasted away yourself.

There are planetoids floating all around that make it all thrilling for you while you try and locate those flying rocks. Meanwhile, alien attackers swoop in trying to rip away even your last shields.

The little world of Digby feels quite alive as there are explosions everywhere and different creatures are always running around doing their own business. What’s more intriguing is that the game addresses that long time issue with endless games i.e. to start from the beginning every time. In Digby Forever, you always have to restart the game from where you ended the last time.

Little Alchemy
The way Little Alchemy plays may not be too pleasing for many scientists, especially, when they are playing it for the first time. But it still allows you to think out of the box, discover and guess randomly to make it a fun experience.
You begin with some typical elements like water, earth, fire and air and then you have to combine them in a different manner each time to come up with some new objects. You have to determine exactly how you can create more than 500 different objects.
There are a few amusing and logical combinations while there are others that have nothing such thing about them. It’s up to you what makes sense to you and what not. But one thing that you have to ensure is to make new combinations, as many as you can.

Asphalt 8: Airborne
You may have played many car racing games but Asphalt 8 – Airborne takes it to the next level. There are cars flinging into air and those nitros can really make things look different. Sometimes there are animated hyper-real tracks where you can perform high-speed, dynamic stunts in the air and let all that rush flow out.
-
Battle Golf

You have to tap for setting angle and the power and then wait and watch where it goes. Some challenges for you would be to take care of seagulls blocking the holes and that giant octopus.
Even though the game is a great choice when you are playing in single-player mode but if you want to add to the excitement, switch to two-player mode and enjoy even more by adding that bit of battle. The players are initially at opposite sides of water and have to race to 5 points. It is also possible to knock down your rival temporarily by smacking the ball in their head and then you can try to have some precious seconds for winning a point with no interference at all.

Archer Dash 2
It is not like that typical archery game. Your little archer has to dash along while scoopingup those blue gems. In the mean time he has to make sure that he doesn’t get in contact with those electrified fences and jumps over them to avoid.
One quick trick here is to drag your archer across left of your screen and it will slow down the time temporarily allowing you to aim perfectly and unleash the arrow for destroying obstacles. You can also collect the bling not in your range easily by doing so.

Dashy Crashy
It’s a simple game in which you have to swipe around for avoiding any traffic that comes in your way and dash along the road. You win new vehicles periodically and each of these has its own specialties – like a UFO that abducts traffic, or a taxi that picks up fares. In addition, you can also respond to certain random events like dinosaurs barreling alongside.
