When you're on vacation, you don't always have an excellent connection: WiFi can leave a lot to be desired (or charged) in some places of accommodation, not to mention that sometimes you're cut off from the world during long trips to the final Destination.
Fortunately, you can anticipate these periods to continue using your smartphone and playing games that are fully accessible offline. We've compiled a list of 5 apps for you that should appeal to most people, but feel free to do some research to find your own favorites.
Obviously, downloads will be required prior to release, so that you can play without difficulty once the connection is lost.
Old Sonic the Hedgehog™ Classic
A favorite for fans of retro games: now you can play Sonic on a smartphone, and this without always having access to the Internet. Created in the colors of the first Sonic, this program integrates the cult game series SEGA Forever (which you should explore if you're looking for other must-haves of the same type).
Optimized for mobile, it generates 60 frames per second for optimal fluidity: the remastered version, although "vintage", knows how to perform well. On Android, you can even manipulate Sonic with HID controllers such as Power A Moga or an Xbox controller, among others.

Sonic the Hedgehog Classic allows you to find the adventures of the famous hedgehog created by Sega in 1991 for free on your mobile devices (smartphone, tablet). The first version of the game, available for free.

Geometry Dash Light, the addict
Don't waste all your vacation on it because, we'd rather warn you, this game gets addictive pretty fast. Made with very simple graphics reminiscent of the 1990s, this platform game invites you to jump, fly and do all kinds of pirouettes to move forward, dodge obstacles and unlock new icons.
You can transform into a boat or a ship, which will only enliven your experience and make you want to go even further. Some users say that the classic mode is quite complicated in the comments: to progress, you also have a "Training" mode, which will help you improve and get familiar with the interface.

Geometry Dash Lite is a colorful and fun platform game in which you have to move a small geometric character through equally geometric levels, all as dangerous as each other.

Two Dots, the modern puzzler.
Puzzle type games have always appealed to a large target group. They have been around as long as video games have been developed, but have obviously improved over time, as Two Dots demonstrates.
Presented in a very modern interface, this successful app simply asks you to connect dots, sink anchors, draw lines or even create bombs: in principle, we're pretty close to rules like those in "Candy Crush Saga". But in design, the biases are more minimalist, offering a less aggressive and more consensual representation. The program includes more than 1 puzzles: if you get started and enjoy yourself, you'll have something to enjoy completely free.

Two Dots is a fun little puzzle and logic game in which you have to create links as long as possible between colored dots. Free game for Android and iOS.
