Sometimes huge games can become a handful to play. It becomes quite complicated when the game has a massive storyline and complex button controls. Players have to spare a significant amount of time to learn all of this before playing the game. That's where hyper-casual games come into the picture. You will immediately get involved with intense gameplay, and ranking up will be a piece of cake.

But these types of games have flooded the digital mobile stores, which makes selecting a single game a hectic task. No need to worry! This article has the best five hyper-casual games that you can enjoy without having to scroll through a sea of games.

1. Crowd Defence

Crowd Defence is a game where you can use joystick controls to fire gatling guns, rockets, mortars, and many more weapons at massive enemy waves heading directly towards your tower walls. As a defender, you need to stand your ground, take on humongous bosses, upgrade and level up your stack, and take assistance from airstrikes to obliterate and defeat your enemies. Try not to run out of ammunition before enemies reach your boundary, or it is the end for you.

Crowd Defence is available to download on Google Play and the App Store.

2. Explorer Run

Explorer Run is a game where you'll need to select the exact equipment to aid you quickly. You will have to use your equipment to chop trees, dig under fences and build bridges. Break your way through rocks, and the hanger will come in handy on the zipline to beat your opponent to the finish line.

Explorer Run is available to download on the App Store.

3. Crowd City

Another excellent Voodoo game is Crowd City. Here you control a crowd that powers through everything in the city and converts other people to your cause, making your crowd even bigger. It might seem complicated at first, but you have to control the movement while simultaneously providing direction to the crowd's movement. The gameplay is very interesting, but the visuals are not that great. Although that’s often a problem in this genre, so we won’t complain too much.

Crowd City is available to download on Google Play and the App Store.

4. Helix Jump

Helix Jump is another super hit title from one of the best developers out there, Voodoo. The game has enjoyed millions of downloads to date. You need only to turn the axis to control the game, which is very simple to use. The gameplay is straightforward but, at the same time, very challenging as well. You will hate losing and will get glued to the game until you get the highest score.

Helix Jump is available to download on Google Play and the App Store.

5. Rise Up

Rise Up is a game where you will be controlling a balloon. In this game, you need to aid your balloon while it reaches the top while simultaneously protecting it from objects that will either fall towards you or block your path with your finger. This game provides a calm meditation experience that is something very rarely seen in mobile games. The gameplay experience is calm as well as challenging. There are no complex visuals or graphics that suit the game best and provide a soothing environment.
