It took awhile to make any of the Kindle games available for the Kindle Touch, but now, many of the most popular ones are compatible with it. I am excited about not having worry about overusing the toggle button to navigate the games. For more detailed, first hand reviews on Kindle games, check out the Kindle Apps Review blog. There are a few that I really like that I think are worth downloading.
Jewels is a gem matching game that is popular on many mobile devices. It goes well wtih the Kindle Touch because all you have to do is drag the shapes to the matching ones. I admit that it can be more challenging to play on a black and white screen, but the shapes have patterns that help distinguish them from each other.
Battleship was one of my favorite childhood games. The Kindle edition includes several versions of the hit game. I like the portable nature of it because you don’t have to worry about pieces. You can play with either the Kindle or another human player. The basic object of Battleship remains the same: blow up your opponent’s ships before they blow up yours.
Mahjong Solitaire includes a stack of tiles. You have to remove the top layer of tiles before you can use the tiles underneath. There are a number of types of tile sets to choose from. The tiles are kind of small, but I feel like the graphics work well with the size screen that the game has to work with.
The Electronic Arts games are the most complex Kindle games as far as design goes, and Solitaire is no exception. Learn how to play different versions of Solitaire, or pass the time with the old traditional version that everyone seems to know how to play.
Bubble Pop is one of the newest Kindle games, and to me, is one of the best ones designed for the Kindle Touch. All you have to do is pop matching bubbles. It is a really mindless, but addicting game.
To win Slingo, the ultimate goal is to eliminate all of the numbers on the board. The board is set up like Bingo, with reels at the bottom. With each spin, you try to match up a number from the reel with one on the board. It is a fun game, and the Kindle version is a real hit.
In order to find out whether your favorite game is compatible with the Kindle Touch, take a look at the link under the game’s price that says “Available for these devices.” If it is available for the Kindle Touch, it will be listed on there. Games are being updated constantly, so check back often if you don’t see it on the list right away.
