Pro Convenient realtime turnbased multiplayer
Doesn't matter if your friend is online right now, you can still challenge them in a match of Time Tower, as each player takes individual turns, meaning each can play at their own pace.
Pro Google Play login
No need for a new account, just use your normal google login. This makes sign in convenient as well as a good way to record ones scores in the game across multiple devices.
Pro Easy control
Both players only have a single button to play, this allows for easy control and less buttons/fingers covering the screen.
Pro Cheating the system
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 Can be difficult to find online matches
Due to the low player base of the game, it can be difficult to find random online opponents to play against.
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.
