Best Android Local Multiplayer Games
Let's dive into the fun!

Fotonica
Experience a fast-paced, slightly crazy auto-runner playable on a single device with a friend. It's thrilling solo, but even better with a pal!
The Escapists 2: Pocket Breakout
Master the art of prison breaks in this strategic game. Play solo or team up with friends for an enhanced challenge.
Badland

BOKURA
Teamwork is key in this game. Communicate with your partner to conquer the levels.
DUAL!
A surprisingly fun two-device Pong experience. It's silly, but incredibly entertaining.
