Cartoon Games for Android: Bright, Funny and Easy to Play

Why people look for cartoon style games

A cartoon game is defined by how it looks and sounds: round shapes, loud colors, exaggerated animation and characters you could draw on a napkin. That style hides a lot of genres. The same tag holds a runner, a physics platformer, a slingshot puzzle, a cooking idler and a school simulator. People who search for it usually want something relaxed, readable on a small screen and not too violent.

What is inside

• Talking Tom Jetski 2: a water racing game with the Talking Tom cast and simple tilt and tap steering
• Talking Tom Hero Dash: an endless runner where Tom and friends chase through colorful levels
• Cats & Soup: a gentle idle game about cats cooking and serving soup
• One Piece Treasure Cruise: an anime flavored crew battler based on the One Piece characters
• Red Ball 4: a physics platformer where a red ball rolls through hand drawn levels
• Angry Birds 2: the slingshot puzzle series with multi stage levels and spells
• Angry Birds Star Wars II: the same slingshot idea with Star Wars characters
• Mario Kart Tour: a cartoon kart racer that normally expects an online connection

How to choose

Start from the action you want. For quick sessions pick a runner such as Hero Dash. For thinking, choose the physics and slingshot titles, which are close to puzzle games. For a slow, no pressure evening, the idle cooking game is the better fit. Titles built on licensed characters are polished but often ask you to watch ads or buy energy, so read the description for how progress is gated. If the art style is what you like most, also look at 2D games and anime games.

Check before installing

Cartoon graphics do not mean small files; some of these games are large and need a fairly recent Android version, so compare the numbers on the card with your phone. Racing and crew games may need a connection for accounts and events, while the platformer and the puzzle games usually run offline. MOD versions normally add currency or unlock levels and characters. A MOD built for one game version may stop working after the official app updates, and online modes can reject modified files. More titles are in games and MOD APKs.
