Sponsored: Watch Out: The Best Smartwatch Games So Far

Even though it has only been on the market for a few weeks there’s already a smart selection of smartwatch games available on the new Apple Watch. Despite it’s miniature size there are still plenty of gaming options for these smartwatch owners to enjoy. We take a look at just some of the better smartwatch games available right now for you to play on your shiny new electronic timepiece.

Due to its restrictive screen size and other limitations traditional gaming is not something that will always translate that simply to the new smartwatch platform. Therefore a lot of companies and developers are already hard at working finding new ways in which to create gaming concepts that exclusively utilise the features of the wearable that it’s played on.

SPY_WATCH

Bossa Studio’s Spy_Watch game doesn’t quite put you in the secret agent driver’s seat but in the shoes of the agent coordinator. You are in charge an agent out in the field and you’ll be sent messages throughout the day requesting what the agent should do next. It’s very much like the classic Choose Your Own Adventure books we enjoyed as children where you’re presented with multiple choice options of what to do next and how to instruct your field agent.

LETTER ZAP

If word games are more your thing then you can’t go too wrong with the simplistic free Letter Zap app game. You are given a jumbled 3 to 6 letter word on screen and you must tap the letters in order to spell out the un-jumbled solution. It’s a simple game that is nothing more really than a condensed version of Scramble but can be enjoyed in quick bursts.

THUNDERSTRUCK SLOTS

A whole host of smartwatch slots are now making their way on to the Apple Watch including the popular Thunderstruck app. This converted slot game manages to squeeze in 5 whole reels onto your wearable screen and even fits in your current betting amount and your pot total. So now you can pick up all the special in-play multipliers as well as having a chance of winning the jackpot.

ELEVATE BRAIN TRAINING

Brain training games have always proved to be a popular choice for mobile gamers and now smartwatch wearers can still enjoy a daily brain workout with Elevate, which has recently transferred its addictive tasks and challenges on to the new wearable tech. There’s vocabulary, mathematics, recall and so much more to keep you occupied and your brain sharp each and every day.
