If you and/or your friend don't like the idea of only playing 1 game a day then set the phone's date to a different day and the game can be played again. You can also use micro battles 2 and 3 as a 2nd and 3rd minigame if you can't change your phone's date.
Cons
Con In-game advertisements
There are in-game advertisements throughout the game and there is no option to remove them, which would be nice
Con Hard soccer buttons
This game features four different games. The soccer game is actually very hard to control with only two buttons for two people. I mean, how can you shoot a ball with two soccer players rotating and press the button to run and kick the ball. Seriously.
