Best Android games of 2010

The 11 best Android games released in 2010, ranked from 4,445 critic and player ratings.

The best Android game of 2010 is Cut the Rope, with a critic score of 93/100 — updated November 2026.

Fruit Ninja and Cut the Rope were made for touchscreens. Halfbrick's game is played by swiping across the screen to slice fruit, and it was on Android within a month of its April 2010 debut. ZeptoLab's puzzle asks the player to cut ropes so that a piece of candy drops to a waiting green monster; it premiered in October 2010, and the Android version followed in June 2011.

Other entries carry the 2010 date from a different machine. Limbo debuted on Xbox 360 that July and reached Android in February 2015. Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc began as a PSP game in Japan in November 2010 and came to phones afterwards, with an enhanced Anniversary Edition for mobile devices released in 2020.

How this ranking is built
  • Games are ranked on the aggregated critic score out of 100 imported from IGDB and Metacritic, never on Tier's own grades.
  • A game only enters the ranking with at least 80 external ratings, so a single enthusiastic review never outranks a proven classic.
  • Community grades from F to S are shown next to every game, and only stated as a fact above 5 Tier ratings.
  • Release window covered: 2010.
  • 11 games are listed on this page, carrying 4,445 ratings between them.
  • Rankings are recomputed hourly; this one was last rebuilt on 14 November 2026.

01 Cut the Rope Cut the Rope 2010 · 94 ratings Cut the Rope is a series of physics-based puzzle video games developed by ZeptoLab for several platforms and devices. The objective of the Cut the Rope games is to feed candy to a little green creature named Om Nom while collecting stars. In each level, the candy hangs by one or several of the titular ropes which the player must cut with a swipe of their finger using the device's touchscreen. Using various objects such as floating bubbles and bellows, the candy must also be manipulated around obstacles to get to Om Nom's mouth. Each level pack introduces new challenges. Levels are scored with a zero to three star rating, according to how many stars the player picked up, and a point score depending on the number of stars collected and the amount of time taken to complete the level.
