Addicting Mobile Games That Feel Like Full-Time Jobs

If you have a smartphone like many others in the world today, then you know how addicting certain mobile games can get. Take Candy Crush for example. Once you start playing, the gameplay starts out as easy, so you keep going thinking, “there’s no way this is going to get difficult.” Wrong. But despite failing multiple times, you just can’t stop playing. But with games like Farmville, the addiction is on a whole other level to the point of extreme dedication. And these are the eight mobile games that are really like full-time jobs, with all the work and upkeep they require.  

1. My Singing Monsters

When I started playing this mobile game, I absolutely loved it. The melodies from each individual monster were so appealing that I wanted more. In order to survive in this game, you have to continuously monitor the timer for when the new monster egg is getting ready to hatch. There’s also a timer on when you can build more things or create more food to help your monsters grow. In the end, this game got way too expensive for me.
 

2. Hay Day

Very much like Farmville, Hay Day is a gaming app that lets you keep a farm, grow your crops and harvest them for money. There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing the coins fly across your screen as you harvest your crops. And with crops comes a lot of time watching and waiting for them to grow. Once your crop is ready to harvest, you’ll want to jump on it quickly so you can pocket the coins. Yes, it’s as addicting as Farmville, maybe even worse. 

3. Farmville

Farmville, very much like the aforementioned Hay Day, is a very similar process. You keep a farm, grow crops and have livestock. And people took their Farmvilleexperience to the next level with insanely built farms that had intricate designs like mazes and video game references. You can see the farm in the image above has made some very accurate Nintendo designs. So if you’re not spending time watching your crops, you’re going batshit crazy with the design of your farm. 



4. The Sims Freeplay
Did you really think The Sims was going to get left out of this list? The Sims’ entire franchise is notorious for taking up a crap-load of time. It’s a time killer, that’s for sure. But the mobile app game plays a little differently than the PC game. There might be cheats, but I personally don’t know how to use cheats for The Sims on the mobile app. Therefore, you start from scratch with very little money and no job and no purpose. You have to build yourself up from the bottom. And everything is a waiting game, from waiting to get more money to making sure your Sim gets rest and showering and eating right. Stepping away feels like a crime.
