Rise Up vs Spelunky
Rise Up
Rise Up is almost as frustratingly fun as the infamous Flappy Bird game, despite having a lot simpler controls. In this game, you need to protect the ascension of a probably helium-filled balloon by moving the circular shield in front of it with your finger. Push obstacles out of the way or tunnel through them, as you help clear the path for the ballon to keep rising. This game is endless though, so if you're good, you can rack up some pretty insane high scores, giving you the score advantage when it comes to dominating the leaderboard.Available on Android and iOS, Rise Up is a simple endless flying game that shot to fame due to its incredibly easy, and yet frustrating (if you're aiming for a respectable high score), gameplay. It's the perfect game to play if you enjoy a good challenge.
Spelunky
Spelunky , developed by indie company Mossmouth Games, is a fun arcade puzzle platformer that puts you in the shoes of an adorable explorer with a bright red nose. In this game, you'll be running through plenty of platform-based mazes where you will not only need to collect as many treasures as you can, but also to defeat any enemies that stand in your way. The mazes are also puzzly in nature since you'll need to circumvent obstacles as well as figure out a way to maximize your profits and collect all the gold you can carry. There is even a damsel in distress that you can choose to rescue or kill, and a shop that you can buy useful tools at or steal from.With randomized levels, Spelunky is a pretty hardcore platformer that contains a wide variety of ways in which your character can die... some of which can be gruesome while others, hilarious! The game combines lighthearted fun with challenging puzzles in a very unique way and this will definitely appeal to fans of platform games like Mario.
