So lately I've been playing a few games on my phone and Nexus Player, and I thought I'd share with you some of those games that I'm playing daily:

(sorry, don't have any screenshots as I haven't figured out how to do that on my Nexus Player quite yet as it's far away from my computer)
It's a fun side scroller where you have an element of an RPG by the fact you have other pieces of equipment to purchase or find. Each have their pluses... don't look for just the most damaging, as some items can help you jump higher or be immune to fire, etc... what's nice is that you can switch out during the level to help you at various points in the game.
Well, one reason that I do keep going back is that each level has some hidden secrets that taunt you when you can't find them. Keep looking!
It's a nice RPG with a bit of humour. Best of all one of my favourite voice actors, Tony Jay.
Essentially you play "The Bard", who wanders around getting roped into hero'ish things.


What keeps me playing is being able to get enough coins to play the gumball machine to win a new character. Also - there are some hidden characters to see if you can find out how to unlock.
Be warned, for some reason it's used about 200MB of data last month for me, but not the month before and doesn't seem to be anywhere near that trend for this month.

Dean and I reviewed this a while back, so if you want to watch some live play you can see it here: http://www.androidcoliseum.com/2015/03/king-of-thieves-game-recommendations.html
What keeps me coming back is that not only do you have a gold mine that is constantly getting raided (so you have to go and raid them back) but you have a gem totem and they (other players) can steal them... so you have to go and get them back. And that's just to keep your hoard neutral.
Add in a guild element and a recently added guild challenge and you'll want to be checking this game out a couple times each day.
Kingdom Rush - I had gotten this in an old +Humble Bundle pack a while back but never really played it until it became free on the Play Store recently.
Essentially it's a tower defence type game where you build specific defence type items to protect hordes of enemies coming through. And you get to upgrade them in various ways.
Surprisingly it's not too crazy difficult as some of them are.. and what keeps me coming back is that you can try the levels in more difficult scenarios... doing so gets your stars which you can use for universal upgrades.
There's also hidden little easter eggs you can find in the game, like in the Twin Rivers, if you tap a fish when it jumps you get the 'fisherman' achievement. There's lots of fun things.
Okay, so those are the games my phone gets put through on a daily basis... yeah, some of you are asking "where's Ingress"... yes
