what are the most frustrating and addictive games for your mobile device that's what we sought to find out I'm Taylor Martin this is PocketNow and these are the top five games for Android and iOS that you won't be able to put down frustrating mobile games have been around for years but the wild success of flappy bird made us see a lot of our favorite games in a different light now that flappy bird is no longer available for download we figured we'd give you a nice spread of equally frustrating yet incredibly addictive mobile games and of course no particular order a recent addition to the App Store and even more recently added to Google Play is threes it's a puzzle game that will test your patience and your ability to walk away the premise is simple you have a four by four grid of squares filled with cards with numbers on them you add like numbered cards together by swiping them together against what the game calls a wall to get the sum of their value for instance if you add 1/3 to another three you get a six card the only exception to the rule is with cards numbered 1 or 2 you can only add ones and twos together to get 3 you cannot add two ones or two twos together continue to add cards together to achieve the highest numbered cards possible and likewise score the game ends when you can no longer add any cards together due to a gridlock this game is quite literally so addictive it's dangerous it's incredibly easy to say just one more time before you know it it's nearly 5:00 a.m. and you have to wake up in two hours to work true story backflip madness is a recent addiction of mine available only on iOS it's a parkour or free acrobatics game your character is positioned in various locations within a single map and you must perform back flips and different moves and land within a cold area well that sounds pretty simple it requires great timing and a lot of patience you use an action button in the lower right corner to control the character hit the button too soon or too late and you'll fall flat on your face you have a set number of failed attempts before you fill the level however you can miss the cold area as many times as you please so long as you stick the landing to practice your flips and different moves you can access a free play mode backflip madness is $0.99 and will provide hours of frustratingly good fun roid rages across between asteroids and flappybird how is that possible you ask you control a ship caught in the middle of a deep space asteroid field you begin as an unpaid intern with a basic spaceship you have one mission collect all the spilled juice worst job ever sounds simple right think again your spaceship speed is turning to 11 and the controls are very touchy not to mention tons of asteroids they're everywhere and just when you think you've gotten the hang of it boom your spaceship explodes into a million pieces at certain milestones you can unlock different ships and pilots road rage is free to play but ad-supported if you purchase just one unlock the ads will be removed forever this is another one of those one more time games smash it is extremely simple to play and understand but the longer you play the more challenging it becomes you're moving through abstract environments obstructed by fragile crystals lob spears into those crystals and watch them shatter before your eyes learn more spheres by destroying designated prisms and earned power-ups by hitting them with the spheres as well if you fail to destroy a crystal and run into it you lose 10 spheres go as far as you can before you run out of spheres smash it is free to play but if you want additional features such as picking up from various checkpoints you must buy the in-app purchase finally super hexagon available for Android and iOS for $2.99 the premise and controls could not be more simple and the game could not be more difficult essentially you're guiding a pointer through a series of walls which are moving towards the center at an increasingly difficult pace touch the left after the display to steer left and touch the right have to move right dodge the walls as long as possible throw in some headphones and the trance music paired with the hypnotic spinning graphics and you can easily get lost in the game all of these games are so great because the controls and instructions are unbelievably simple yet the gameplay is wildly difficult and they have nearly infinite replayability this is what makes them so frustrating while also extremely addictive order your frustratingly difficult games be sure to share them in the comments below thanks for watching everyone if you enjoyed this video be sure to click the thumbs up button below and of course hit the subscribe button if you want to see more videos like this one in the future be sure to follow us on all the usual places twitter facebook and google+ at pocket now I'm Taylor Martin you can find me on twitter at casper tech and i will see you next time
