Top 5 Free Games this November!

Five free picks this month: frog hopper TapToFlip, browser bike racer R-Speedo Arcade, player-run strategy game Leviathan War, word battler War of Words and climber Pyramid Rush.

AI-drafted from 17 sources. This story was written with AI from the outside reporting listed under Sources, and checked by automated tools before it went up. The originals have the full detail.

Written by the Gaming World desk with AI help, from each studio's own store pages and the material they sent us. The five are the studios who asked first.

Once a month we pick five free games from the studios who send us their work, with plenty of pictures and the places to get them. No game appears in this list twice. If you make a free game, tell us when you send it in and ask to be considered: requests go first come, first served.

1. TapToFlip

Free, with ads. Get it from Google Play.

There are two ways to play. The endless run has no time limit, and the 60 second race asks for your best score before the clock runs out, with a collision ending the round early. Bubbles are worth 10 points each, five in a row add 25 more, and passing obstacles builds combos. Longer runs move from daylight through sunset into a starry night.

The frog can be dressed in other colours and in spotted or striped patterns. Green is there from the start; the rest unlock for good with an optional rewarded ad or 20 stars, which come from finished runs and daily tasks. Axio Apps says looks never boost leaderboard scores. You can play as a guest or sign in with Google Play Games for daily, weekly and all time leaderboards, in English or Turkish.

2. R-Speedo Arcade

Free, in your browser. Play it at r-speedo.app, or see the main R-Speedo site.

The racer lives on the site of Rasyid Irsyadi's main project, R-Speedo, a speedometer dashboard for electric vehicles that runs as a web app, with Bluetooth telemetry, GPS navigation and battery monitoring. That fits a racing game built around real electric motorcycles and a battery gauge.

It needs a browser that can run WebGL and nothing else: there is no account to make. It takes a keyboard or touch controls, has a replay, and can be installed as a web app of its own.

3. Leviathan War

Free to start, with optional purchases. Play it at the official site, or get it from the App Store or Google Play. New players can start with the studio's first steps guide.

Everyone starts as a citizen who chooses where to live, takes a job and trains up, and every shift feeds a real production chain. Public starter factories give new players somewhere to work. Democracies, monarchies and coups each lead to power by a different road, and political decisions change taxes, budgets and relations with other states. In war, the studio says supply, timing, fatigue and diplomacy all count.

Pro is a monthly subscription that renews on its own, and the Google Play listing spells out what it gives: slower productivity and fatigue decay, faster rest recovery, longer auto actions, and cheaper travel with a shorter cooldown. The game runs in nine languages, from English and Spanish to Greek, Croatian and Turkish.

4. War of Words

Free, no in-app purchases. Get it from Google Play, or see the game's website. Trailer: gameplay video.

Endless mode throws a boss at you every fifth wave, and the Daily Challenge is two minutes long. You can link letters that sit next to each other, or switch to a free linking rule instead.

The campaign and offline practice work without a connection, and progress is saved on your phone. Ads only appear for adults: players 18 and over can watch an optional ad for up to three continues per Endless run. Players from 13 to 17 get the online rankings without ads, and under 13s play offline with local records.

5. Pyramid Rush

Free, with in-app purchases. Get it from Google Play, or see Coachable's page for the game.

The climb runs across six settings: Egypt, Maya temples, Nordic ruins, Khmer towers, the Andes and Japanese shrines. Bombs hurt armoured enemies, and ducks make a distraction so you can slip past a guard. The puzzles go beyond boulders, too: you push crates onto platforms, work switches and repair crossings, and new items come with a tip the first time you pick one up.

Gold from treasure buys outfits and armour, and you can save a climb and come back to it later. Coachable built it for landscape play with touch controls and its own music, and no account is needed.
