Phone, keys, wallet. It\u2019s probably your mantra leaving your house. Let\u2019s face it, of those three things, your phone is likely the most precious to you. Can you use your keys or wallet to play Candy Crush, Clash of Clans or Respawnables? No. Exactly.<\/span><\/p>\n

This summer EM will explore a few\u00a0popular phone games. Today\u00a0 Nora Fiskaa Ljostad and Jeffrey Vos will kick it off and talk about their favorite phone games.<\/p>\n

Candy Crush<\/span><\/p><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>

\u201cI admit to be addicted to Candy Crush. However, there are a few other games I play when I\u2019m on my phone and these are cat games. Neko Atsume is one of those. Being a cat owner and buying them food is what the game\u2019s all about. After a while I got bored of it though. This didn\u2019t happen with Candy Crush which I\u2019ve now been playing for two years, since the \u2018Candy Crush hype\u2019. The game amuses me because it requires automatic gestures and doesn\u2019t imply a lot of thinking. I use it to pass time, mainly waiting for trams or buses, when I\u2019m bored or procrastinating. Basically, any moment is good to play.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fall Out Shelter<\/span><\/p><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>

\u201cFallout Shelter. That\u2019s what I play on my phone. The concept stems from the popular Xbox game which carries the same name. The goal is to build a shelter as equipped as it can be. It\u2019s easy to start a new session, but it\u2019s also easy to close it. In fact, one session which roughly corresponds to a short term goal is quick and that\u2019s what I like about it. I downloaded the game last year and I\u2019ve played it ever since on and off. Usually I play when I am travelling or on the sofa after a long day. Playing is definitely a way to kill time and ease my mind.\u201d<\/p>\n
