free iOS sidescroller games

Rayman Adventures

Rayman Adventures from Ubisoft is the third installment in the popular mobile platform game. If you’ve played the first couple of Rayman games, you’re going to like the new features here, and if it’s your first time you’re going to find this an immersive world thanks to the graphics and gameplay.

Sky Whale

If you watch Nickelodeon’s Game Shakers, you should be familiar with Sky Whale, the game that the two schoolgirls made for their school project. Sky Whale proved to be popular in the show, so much so that there’s now a real mobile game based on it available for the iOS and Android, and it’s a good one too.

Slow Down

There are basically two kinds of games on mobile, the complex ones that require you to invest time in them, and the others that are aimed at casual gamers who only play in spurts and just want a diversion. Slow Down by Ketchapp is one such game, offering a simple gameplay that anyone can get into.

Bullet Boy

Bullet Boy is new for 2015, but this offering from Pomelo Games bears a strong resemblance to classic 90s sidescrolling games. The premise is simple enough: you shoot Bullet Boy from barrels and steer clear from the obstacles that are in your path. It sounds easy, but you have to be on your toes to get far.

Skill Wave

Skill Wave is one of the latest titles from Appsolute Games, and like their other titles this one can’t be easily categorized as it combines elements from other games. This is basically a zig zag game but there’s a bit more to it than that, so don’t be surprised if you end up playing this far longer than you think.

Mr. Jump

Mr. Jump from 1Button SARL is a seemingly simple game: it’s a sidescroller and as the name implies, your characters needs to jump from platform to the next. It’s a very easy game to pick up, but as is always the case with these retro style games, it’s a bit more challenging than that.

Stickman Rush

Stickman Rush from Ketchapp Games is a sidescroller that will bring back fond memories of those pixelated games you used to play. However, this isn’t just strong on aesthetics as its gameplay is just as good. While it’s basically a lane changing scroller, Stickman Rush has a few more aces up its sleeve.
