Woah, what an intensely busy week for Android gamers. The sheer number of quality titles that launched is incredible. Given that it’s a public holiday in some parts of the world, that’s a good thing.
No matter if your weekend is two or three days, you’ve got plenty of content to dig into. So read on for our top nine Android games to check out this weekend.
Best new game on Android: Pokemon: Magikarp Jump
Pokemon Magikarp Jump is probably our highlight of the week. It’s part Tamagotchi, part clicker, and a whole load of fun.
You have to raise generations worth of Magikarps that can jump ever higher, in order to beat your opponents in a bunch of different leagues. It’s a bit weird, but colourful and adorable fun.

Skullgirls
Skullgirls is one of those 2D fighters that are so popular right now, but with a bit of a twist. The visuals are handdrawn, there are RPG elements, and you can use a party of three fighters. Besides, it’s based on the popular Skullgirls franchise.
