The wonderful thing about mobile games is that they can be so simple. By focusing on an effective concept, mobile developers have created some of the best games in modern times using only limited gameplay.

Joining the ranks of the best is Silly Walks (for iOS). No doubt taking its name from the famous Monty Python skit, the only real comparison is the ridiculous way your character moves around the levels.

You control various types of anthropomorphic food: a jar of peanut butter, a pineapple, a bowl of ramen, and so on. Your goal is to complete standard level-based tasks such as save your friends, collect sugar cubes and avoid perilous kitchen equipment like cheese graters.

Super Mario Odyssey could be another Nintendo Switch contender for year’s best title
