Each gamer has his own, constantly changing list of favorite games (here is ours), but how to while away the time with a friend whose preferences differ significantly from yours? We have compiled a list of gaming applications for iPhone and iPad, among which you will surely find suitable entertainment.

Air Hockey

It's worth starting with simple arcade games that do not require training and specific skills. Before us is a simulator of the popular board game "Air Hockey", in which two people take part. There is a rectangular field, a goal, round "clubs" and a puck, the goal is to score as many goals as possible into the opponent's goal in the allotted period of time. You can play both on one device and via Wi-Fi.

Flick Kick Football

For football fans, we recommend the exciting game Flick Kick Football, the meaning of which is shots on goal from free kicks. The game has intuitive controls that allow you to deliver both strong straight and twisted shots to the goal with one swipe of your finger.

You can play online with real opponents, as well as together on the same device in turn.
Download Flick Kick Football for iPhone and iPad (App Store)
Ice rage

Arcade table hockey simulator with teams of two players (goalkeeper and forward). There is a single player campaign, but the multiplayer is naturally much more fun. The app costs 149 rubles in the App Store, for an additional fee, you can buy original skins of hockey players.
Download Ice Rage for iPhone and iPad (App Store)
8 Ball Pool

Billiards "eight" with good game physics, multiplayer and online tournaments. The realism of the game is somewhat spoiled by special cues (the best of which are available only after donation), but this does not interfere with playing with friends with appropriate agreements. You can download the application for free.
Download 8 Ball Pool for iPhone and iPad (App Store)
BADLAND

The game is familiar to almost every lover of mobile gaming. The atmospheric platformer released several years ago has gained immense popularity, including for the implementation of the co-op mode. Up to 4 users can play on one device, and to complete the level, the character of at least one player must survive.

Tiny Wings

Immediately after the release in the App Store, the game was also very popular, but the monotonous gameplay did not allow the developers to develop the idea further. However, you can add some fun to Tiny Wings by installing it on your iPad. Its main difference is the presence of a multiplayer mode that divides the screen in half - now users are not only trying to teach their chick to fly, but also trying to overcome more obstacles than their opponent.
Download Tiny Wings for iPhone and iPad (App Store)
Drive Ahead

Dynamic arcade battles on vehicles (including: racing cars, off-road vehicles, tanks, monster trucks, etc.) in art-pixel graphics. Several battle modes are available, including mini-maps, deathmatch and "sudden death", you can play with a friend both over Wi-Fi and on the same device. Download Drive Ahead! is free, in-app purchases are available.

Soccer sumos

In this soccer and sumo wrestling simulator, 2 or 4 player play on one device is the main mode. Characters in Soccer Sumos rotate in place, and the player at the right moments should press the only control button to start moving in a straight line. This minimalism of the gameplay allows you to play even on a smartphone, although iPad looks still preferable for 2v2 matches. The price of the application in the App Store is 75 rubles, there are no in-app purchases.

Death squared

A console puzzle ported to iOS in 2018 and has already received a lot of positive feedback from gamers. It is noteworthy that the single-player campaign involves the management of two characters, so the co-op mode of passing suggests itself. Death Squared has a high price tag on the App Store, but the fun, shared with a friend, is well worth it.

Agry Birds Go

The racing arcade game from Finnish developers Rovio based on the mega-popular puzzle game Angry Birds did not impress fans of “angry birds” too much in terms of developing a solo campaign, but the gameplay itself is quite suitable for competing against each other in real time via Wi-Fi.
The races take place on Pig Island, which for the first time appears before players in full 3D, as pilots are famous characters from the world of Angry Birds, such as: Red, Chuck, Terence, The Pig King, Mustached Baron, etc.
Download Agry Birds Go! for iPhone and iPad.
Duel otters

As the name suggests, the game is a duel between otters, which means that there are at least two players and two otters. Duel Otters consists of 11 mini-arcades, and competitions in the main mode take place in the "best of 5" format, that is, the victory in the match is awarded to the player who wins in three games out of five. Only two users can play simultaneously on one iPhone or iPad, but in general, the competition can be held according to the Olympic system until the best of the company is identified.
Duel Otters is an app designed for kids, so the games are very simple and in most cases only require one finger to operate. This is a simple air hockey, a primitive mixture of baseball and tennis, towns, etc. If you need to distract two or more children for a while, Duel Otters may well cope with this task, provided that you have at least one smartphone or tablet.
Download Duel Otters for iPhone and iPad.
Bowmasters

A very popular and addicting game for both single player and online multiplayer. The gameplay is a turn-based duel-firefight between two characters, each of which has the goal of hitting the enemy, calculating the force and trajectory of the throw or shot.
The trick is that the game is made with a fair amount of humor, and each of the 60+ characters is interesting in its own way, has its own weapon and unique fatality. For example, a dead cosmonaut Gorsky can throw a somewhat veiled USSR flag at the enemy, and as a fatality lands on the opponent's head a likeness of the Soviet satellite Luna-1.
Download Bowmasters for iPhone and iPad.
Tank stars

The gameplay is in many ways similar to Bowmasters (the same developer, Playgendary) and is painfully familiar to all fans of Pocket Tanks and other similar games. The battle takes place between two tanks with a certain set of different charges, from an ordinary explosive to an atomic bomb, the location is a destructible random relief that can be used to gain an advantage (it is much easier to destroy an enemy stuck in a ravine than hiding behind a steep rock).
Download Tank Stars for iPhone and iPad.
Table tennis touch

By far the best simulator of this sport in the App Store, which will not leave indifferent even a person who has never approached a tennis table in his life. It will not work just to substitute the racket under the ball - to win, you will have to learn how to perform complex cut strikes, calculate the strength and trajectory, drive the opponent from corner to corner, etc. You can play with a friend on a local network or over the Internet.

Worms 2: Armageddon

It is difficult to find an experienced gamer who has never played the legendary "worms". Remarkably, over the years, Team 17 has been trying to replicate the success of Worms 2: Armageddon, but neither the 3D graphics nor the new weapons are capable of surpassing the 2009 masterpiece. The iOS version offers the possibility of multiplayer via Bluetooth (up to 4 people) and Wi-Fi (2 people).

From the racetrack to the battlefield, here again we have a Gameloft development - the best 3D first person shooter Modern Combat 5: Eclipse.
