What do you look for in a good mobile game?<\/p>\n

Most people would say fun, and some would possibly say a bit of a challenge. No-one would say an experience so frustrating that you\u2019ll feel like banging your head against the nearest hard surface before launching your phone into the nearest body of water.<\/p>\n

And yet, the App Stores are full of them! Here are 6 games which pose a serious risk to the safety of your beloved phone.<\/p>\n

Swing Copters<\/h4>\n

\"Swing<\/a><\/p>\n

Swing Copters<\/i> is made by the same man who brought us Flappy Bird<\/i>, which should tell you everything you need to know. This game is hard!<\/i><\/p>\n

You control a small man wearing a helicopter hat, helping him fly through small openings. Unfortunately, each of these small openings is surrounding by giant swinging hammers designed solely to ruin your day. Oh, and your helicopter hat hurtles you around the screen with all the pace of Usain Bolt riding a Cheetah.<\/p>\n

If you score more than 10 points, you deserve some kind of medal.<\/p>\n

The Impossible Game<\/h4>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Who\u2019d have thought something called The Impossible Game<\/i> would be difficult?<\/p>\n

TIG<\/i> is deceptively simple: you have to guide a red square to the end of a level, avoiding spikes and other traps along the way.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, this is much easier said than done and your initial excitement will eventually give way to red-eyed anger. It\u2019s alright, we\u2019ve all been there.<\/p>\n

QWOP<\/h4>\n

\"QWOP\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The next time you go running, try thinking about the exact movements your legs are making. Weird, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

Now imagine you had to do that all the time just to run a yard. That\u2019s exactly what QWOP<\/i> makes you do; you have four buttons to control your runner\u2019s leg movements, and your only goal is to reach the finish line.<\/p>\n

The chances of you actually reaching the finishing line are slim to none, but you\u2019ll have a lot of fun watching your sprinter crumble into a ridiculous heap trying. And then you\u2019ll start getting the odd eye twitch of anger…<\/p>\n
