Remember those times when you are in the middle of a game and suddenly you are required to attend to your family members or friends? I definitely do. If you are playing a game that requires you to commit to the phone, good luck to you my friend!
I remember the time when I nearly succeed in clearing a boss stage and then the effort goes to waste when the app closes as I received a call from my brother. The good thing is, when you happen to play a casual game instead, you wouldn’t mind if the progress is lost as most casual games do not require you to stay stick to your phone. So let’s start with the 1st reason.
1) Casual Games are Simple
Casual games are normally easy to learn and at the same time can be very addictive. A lot of casual games feature tutorials and practice levels for the user to follow the game easily. A good example of this would be the classic Pac-Man. All you have to do is eat the dots and avoid all the enemy to win!

2) Casual Games are typically Short
Casual games are mostly quick to play and easy to pause. An example of this would be games like Angry Birds by Rovio Entertainment Ltd. The stages are short and if required you can also pause the game.
3) Casual Games can be Stopped At Anytime
As mention in the introduction, you wouldn’t want your hard work to go to waste and be penalized for leaving and closing a game in the middle. Games like Paper Toss by Backflip Studios, Inc is a perfect example of this. It does not hurt at all if the game suddenly closes due to calls and such.
4) Casual Games are Stress-free
The best thing about casual games is that you don’t have to spend a lot of time on it. While games like the RPG genre requires you to keep on hunting and hunting just to get that one item for the character, Casual games don’t. You play when you want to and stop when you want to.
5) Casual Games are Inexpensive
One of the reasons why I think casual games are very popular in the Android Playstore is that they are easily obtainable. By that I meant, most casual games app are either free or just a small one-time payment just to get rid of the ads. This does not take into account of In-App Purchases though.
Conclusion
Casual Game is definitely a must have for every phone users. Imagine yourself being in the train travelling back home. If the travelling duration only takes 5 min, I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t want to play a long game. Casual Game is the best game to have for killing time. That’s all for today folks!
