The 10 Best Mobile Games of July 2015

 
Overwhelmed by the App Store? Think Google Play’s too clunky? With so many mobile games being released every month, finding the ones that are worth downloading can be daunting. Sure, you could just stick to the top-grossing charts, but you’d miss out on some great stuff if you didn’t dig deeper.

Rather than have you do the digging, though, we’re more than happy to handle the shovel. Here are the 10 best mobile games released in July 2015 — and be sure to check out last month’s picks, in case you missed them.
Alphabear

The minds behind the adorable puzzler Triple Town pick up where they left off with this equally awesome word game. Use Scrabble-like tiles to spell words, score points, and collect an assortment of ability-boosting bears. Alphabear is mellow with the in-app purchases, too. Wildly addictive and totally cute, it’s a beast. (Free | iOS, Android)


Prune

Released with little advance notice at the end of July, Prune turns the zen-like act of tree trimming into a gorgeous puzzle game. This isn’t a boring bonsai, however: You’ll need to selectively slice off branches to help your quickly growing tree negotiate high winds, dangerous suns, and more. Prune’s understated visuals and simple but challenging gameplay make it a natural fit for both iPhone and iPad. ($3.99 | iOS)

Angry Birds 2

If you can get past the fact that it should probably be called Angry Birds 16, you’ll find a really pretty update on Rovio’s piggy-smashing blockbuster. There are plenty of new features here, such as multistaged levels, powerful spells, and the ability to choose which bird you want to toss. And this time it’s free — though you should be prepared for a flock of in-app purchase requests. Rovio wants to wet its beak. (Free | iOS, Android)
