The only part that most people
dislike about vacations is the
amount of time taken to reach the
destination. Travelling such a long
distance could really bore you
especially if you are not the kind
who would use the time to indulge
in books or enjoy the passing
scenery. At such times, your
smartphone could come to the
rescue with its heap of addictive
games. There are several games
that could easily keep you engaged
for hours. We have picked out 10
such games for your smartphone.
Osmos, a physics-based award-
winning game lets players enter
the Darwinian world. The player
has to absorb smaller organisms
and grow to survive, and at the
same time be aware of larger
predators. To move forward, you
must eject matter behind you,
which will make you shrink. So
Osmos has to maintain the
balance by absorbing smaller
masses quickly and efficiently. The
game will lead the player through
ambient playgrounds, deep solar
systems, competitive petri dishes,
dense mote-fields, and more via its
72 levels and two game modes. It
is available for Android as well as
iOS users for free, and supports
gestures such as pinch to zoom,
tap to eject mass, flick to warp
time and more.

but requires a lot of concentration,
making you forget the world
outside. It is extremely difficult to
survive the maze for even a
minute, and those who accept the
challenge could spend the entire
journey in this hypnotising maze
no matter how long it is. The app
