1. TWO PLAYER GAMES: AIR HOCKEY

Air Hockey is a simple yet effective game, and the multiplayer mode will give you a lot of fun playing with a friend in an air hockey tournament. However, there’s also solo player mode if you want to polish your play or want some time out on your own.

The controls are basic, use a finger to move the pad and hit the puck to smash in a goal, and the vivid colors and music add to the experience. The game feels pretty accurate as far as speed and motion are fluid. The game is entirely free to download and play, so do take a look.

2. REAL BOXING – FIGHTING GAME

Price: Free with ads/ Offers IAP

This popular Vivid Game has been around for several years, and it’s still one of the best choices available.

As well as the career mode where you’ll bid to become champion, there’s a real-time multiplayer mode if you want to fight against a friend or with other fighters from across the world.

Mini-games will help you to train and get into fighting form, and the app also features unlockable customization options, weekly tournaments, and bonus modes. Real Boxing has excellent graphics that give a very realistic feel, and the intuitive controls make it a joy to play. It will also allow you and a friend to release some pent up aggression without actually hurting each other!

Ultimately, the first player to score five goals is the winner and then watch to see what happens to the character’s heads! It’s worth noting that in the most recent update, the developers of the game state that a multiplayer mode is coming soon.

5. CHESS Free

Nothing comes better than Chess when you want two people to get into action. If you’re a fan of strategy games, this app could be for you.

Moreover, a chess tutor is ready to help you to hone your skills and avoid mistakes.

6. DUAL!

Price: Free with ads/ Offers IAP

This is a classic Pong-style game as it’s played across 2 mobile devices with two players shooting projectiles across one screen to another. It offers a whole lot of enjoyment and can be played locally over WiFi (both devices need to be on the same network) or via Bluetooth.

You’ll need to charge and shoot your friend in Duel mode and Defend as well as Deflect. Battling against different players allows you to unlock color sets, and other features include achievements, leaderboards, and stats. The single, one-time in-app purchase will enable you to unlock all of the game and also restore it on devices sharing the same account.

7. RED HANDS – 2 PLAYER GAMES

Price: Free with ads

Red Hands 2 Player Games Android

Red hand is a cool game to play against your buddies. If you’re wondering why it’s called Red Hands, it’s because it involves clapping/slapping. You’ll need quick reactions as you and a chum stand on either side of a device in the roles of attacker and defender getting ready to tap at the right times. A free hit is given if the defender chickens out three times, and the victor is the first person to gain 10 points.

To make it more interesting, you can choose hands from an assortment that includes a skeleton hand, Hulk’s hand, and a tattooed hand. This easy, user-friendly game will surely test your reflexes and whips up the excitement real quick.

8. BASKETBALL STARS

Price: Free with ads/ Offers IAP *Editor’s Choice*

Basketball fans will enjoy this “One vs. One” multiplayer game from Miniclip. You’ll need all your best moves as you dribble, shoot, block, or steal, and as well as the 1 on 1 Duel there’s also a 1v1 Shootout where you’ll shoot hoops against the clock.

A variety of courts will mix things up a bit, though you’ll need to begin on the Underdog court and work your way up. In-app purchases offer a huge amount of customization with more than 400 items on offer to create thousands of different looks, and over 40 basketballs to unlock.

9. CHALLENGE YOUR FRIENDS 2 PLAYER

Price: Free with ads

Challenge Your Friends game

If you enjoy traditional games such as tic-tac-toe or card games you’re likely to enjoy this app. The app is great for filling time on journeys, between classes, or during a work break, and you need just one device and two players.

Once you select one of the 2 player games, a random challenge will be ready. Interestingly, the loser might have to post an “I am a loser” status on Facebook, or perhaps the winner might get to slap (or even kiss) the loser. Both players then need to accept the challenge and play the game, whatever the outcome. It’s a neat little app, but will you take the challenge?

10. SKILLZ – LOGIC BRAIN GAMES

Price: Free with ads/ Offers IAP

This one is for those looking for something rather more cerebral, who perhaps think they’re quite a lot smarter than others! Unlike some of these apps, Skillz will make your brain work hard, with puzzles that will test various skills that include math, coordination, memory, accuracy, and more. You’ll need a sharp mind and quick reflexes, and the more points you score, the more levels you will attain.

When you think you’re ready you can challenge a friend in multiplayer mode and compete in a battle of wits against them to unlock achievements. You’ll need a minimum of 2 players but up to 4 can join in the fun, or you can challenge random players if nobody’s around.
