10.Krispee Street
Krispee Streetis among the simplest games in the Netflix library, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t fun. This mobile game, based on theKrispeewebcomic, is a hidden object game that has you tracking down people or things based on the clues you’re given.
As you solve the easier puzzles, you’ll gain power-ups to help you solve even tougher puzzles. That’s the main loop of the game, but it’s a relaxing and enjoyable experience overall.

9.Shatter: Remastered
Find the right gameplay mechanic and it will stay relevant for years—perhaps even forever. That’s the case withShatter: Remastered, which is a gussied up take on the Atari classicBreakout.
Shatter: Remastereddoesn’t play it safe or rest on its laurels. While much of its gameplay was established byBreakoutand thenArkanoid, it still adds its own unique touches (including boss fights).
8.Wonderputt Forever
Wonderputt Foreveris a miniature golf game that takes cues from games likeWhat the Golf?, though this is much more of an actual mini-golf game.
But don’t take that to mean this will be a leisurely stroll type of experience. Things will get out of hand and you’ll eventually find yourself doing some crazy things—like landing your ball in a submarine.
While it may not quite reach the lofty highs of its inspiration,Wonderputt Foreveris a great game for passing the time.
7.Asphalt Xtreme
If you’ve played more than a few mobile games in your time, then you’ve probably at least heard of theAsphaltracing series.
Asphalt Xtremeis a Netflix-exclusive iteration of the franchise, and it has much of the same core gameplay that’s kept the series so popular.
You can play it in a super casual mode with automatic acceleration and touch controls, or you can opt for the more challenging mode with manual acceleration and tilt controls.
6.Shooting Hoops
Some of the most addictive mobile games are ones that distill the entire experience down to a simple mechanic. For me,Desert Golfingis one of those games, and it kept me hooked foryears.
On Netflix, there’s a game calledShooting Hoops, and it’s extremely addictive in a lot of the same ways.
Don’t like basketball? That’s fine because the gameplay has very little to do with full-on basketball.Shooting Hoopsshares more in common with a game likeFlappy Bird.

5.Hextech Mayhem: A League of Legends Story
Riot Games has been steadily expanding theLeague of Legendsuniverse—if you haven’t watchedArcaneyet, what are you waiting for?—andHextech Mayhem: A League of Legends Storyis their entry into casual mobile games.
Far detached from the MOBA gameplay ofLeague of Legendsand the auto-battler gameplay ofTeamfight Tactics,Hextech Mayhemis a wonderfully fun rhythmic platformer. It’s pretty forgiving so give it a shot even if you think you’re rhythmically challenged!
4.Poinpy
Poinpyis made by the same creator of the underrated hit mobile gameDownwell. But whereasDownwellhad you descending ever deeper,Poinpyhas you climbing—always climbing, up and up.
It may sound like an overly simple premise, but the core gameplay is so smooth, refined, and satisfying that you’ll be hooked right away.
Combine that with other gameplay elements like power-ups andPoinpybecomes a game that’s hard to put down.
3.Moonlighter
Moonlighterisn’t the first game to have you selling items during the day, then raiding dungeons to build up your inventory at night.
That said, it’s a solid combination ofZelda-style 2D dungeons and an almostStardew Valley-lite approach, which is very addictive.
If you love the idea ofStardew Valleybut lean more towards the side of dungeon diving than planting seeds and raising animals, thenMoonlightermight be the perfect game for you.

2.Immortality
Immortalitymay be the most fitting choice for a Netflix-published game because it’s all about movies.
Ostensibly, you’re combing through footage of three never-released films in hopes of finding out what happened to actress Marissa Marcel. Once you start playing, though, you realize something darker is at play.
WhileImmortalityis a great game, certain game mechanics work better with a controller than a touch screen. Youcanplay with a touch screen, but if you have a mobile-compatible controller, now’s the time!
1.Into the Breach
Regardless of how you feel about Netflix, we all need to thank the company for bringingInto the Breachto mobile devices.
Into the Breachis a strategy puzzle game that has you focusing on manipulating your enemy’s positions than your own. It’s tough but fair, and absolutely worth playing (or replaying).
Ever since the game first launched, people have been saying it would be the perfect iPad game. Now that it’s finally here, yeah, those people are vindicated:Into the Breachis perfect on tablets.
