Hot Picks

Six great platformers

Our latest hot picks list celebrates the simple art of jumping around a screen. There are plenty of excellent platformers on mobile, so just choosing six wasn't an easy task. With our choices, we've opted for a mixture of traditional platforming alongside games that prefer to focus more on story or puzzling rather than demanding perfection from your reflexes. Check out who made the cut on PG.fun.

The best of Zynga

Zynga is a well-known developer in the mobile world. Whether or not you're consciously aware of it, you've probably played something from them at some point. The team tends to focus on simple experiences that keep you coming back for more time and time again. So, if you're on the hunt for a straightforward experience you can enjoy for ours, check out our Zynga-focused hot picks list.

Game of the Week

Brawl Stars

When you think of Supercell, your mind might, understandably, jump to Clash of Clans or Clash Royale. But the Finnish developer has other popular titles up its sleeve, including this week's Game of the Week, Brawl Stars.

While it's been around for some time, the multiplayer title recently got a huge update called Hypercharge. It introduced a new feature for a select number of brawlers, giving them the option to bolster their strength after building up enough Hypercharge energy. It looks to shake the action up and is worth checking out, whether you've played the game before or dropped off for a while.
