Since Telegram announced its Game Platform we have been very enthusiastic to work in it as you might already know. After all, along this article, we have already published a tutorial about how to develop a game bot and another tutorial about porting your HTML5 games to Telegram.
But we also like to play and we realized it is not very easy to find games in Telegram (only for the moment… we hope); that’s why we want to list here our favorites games.
Don’t Die in @DontDieBot
Listen to me, this is a good one. Really challenging but extremely easy to learn. The responsiveness of the controls is perfect.
In each level you drag your character to pick up a key that will open the door of the next level. But don’t let the zombies see you… or smell you.
iBasket in @ludeiBot
What? Yes, it is one of our games, but we really worked hard on it to create a good game. And more than once we have had bad looks at the office when someone gets the first place in the rankings.
Simple. Colorful. Fun. Throw the balls and get the maximum amount of points in 90 seconds. Don’t think too much, if you don’t score for a certain amount of time you lose the score multiplier. And listen here, the key to be the best: clean shots give you 5 extra seconds of play, maybe using 2 seconds to aim instead of 1 is worth it.
Kung Fu Inc in @gamee
Tap left or right to throw a punch in either direction to destroy… vacuum cleaners?
Yep, that’s right. I guess somebody doesn’t really like Roombas. Try to not throw punches in the air, the combo multiplier is the key to reach the top of the ranking.
Jumper Frog in @microgamesbot
An old classic not so common nowadays. If you are young maybe you don’t even know it.
Jump across the road avoiding the cars and use the turtles and the logs to not fall in the water (just ignore the fact that every frog can swim, we all do). Your objective is to reach the top of the screen and eat every fly in the way.
Flappy Bird
There is more than one Flappy Bird and there aren’t many differences but visual aspect. Play the one you like the most, all of them are equally addictive.
- Flappy Bird in @awesomebot
- Jumping Submarine in @ludeiBot
- Skipper in @gamee
Meteoric and Meteoric Plus in @gamee
Combine similar asteroids to form a planet. Combine the planets to create stars. Combine the stars and watch it EXPLODE!
In Meteoric, the asteroids fall from the top and you have to pile them next to their alike to combine them; whereas in Meteoric Plus, the asteroids appear randomly and you drag everything to the top, right, bottom or left (like in the game 2048), if two similar objects collide they will fuse.
2048 in @awesomebot
Speaking about 2048, that is a great game too. Of course we can find it in Telegram.
One of the best games to compete with your friends. But for the love of Cthulhu, keep your highest tile in a corner of the board.
Sumon in @ludeiBot
A target number appears, you have to combine numbers in the board to sum the exact amount. Then, the target changes and you have to do it again until there are no more numbers in the board to complete the level. Easy, right?
Well, you have to do it fast; and it is better if the numbers you combine are far apart from each other. If you are one of those who asks why bother learning to do mental calculus if every mobile has a calculator nowadays, maybe it’s not that easy.
Every level concedes notably more points than the previous one. So you might think that playing in a easy level for several minutes will assure you a place in the winners podium, when actually, anybody capable of playing in a harder level will surpass your score in a matter of a minute.
Hextris in @awesomebot
I’m sure you know Hextris. Another of those extremely simple games but incredibly competitive. Share it in your chats, you will see how everybody tries to get the record but “casually, they were just playing in the public transport”. Yeah… suuure… me too…
I haven’t even put any effort to get that screenshot, I could do it better…
Do you agree with our list? Did we miss any game? Leave a comment if you found a really good game we didn’t list here. We want to try it, it’s not easy to find them.
