Best arcade games for a two-minute break

Not every game needs a saga behind it. Some of the best mobile experiences are the ones you can start and finish before the kettle boils. Arcade games live and die on their first thirty seconds. If they can't hook you fast and let you quit clean, they don't belong on a phone. Pixel Pit Crew is a great example — instant chaos, instant satisfaction. We look for tight scoring loops and no punishing setup. A good arcade game should let you get one more go without a loading screen lecturing you first. The secret bonus of these games is that they're easy to put down. That sounds like a weird thing to praise, but respecting your time is a feature.
