Like most people who are staying safe at home during social distancing or lockdown period, you’re most likely getting very, very tired of just sitting at home by now.

You might be thinking how does this even work considering that this game requires the players to move around outdoors in order to catch the Pokémons.

Crash Bandicoot Mobile
This one’s a Malaysia-only game for now. The mobile version of the console game “Crash Bandicoot” was recently released in the country, probably as a beta test before its global rollout. It’s an endless runner game where the player just has to swipe a finger across the screen to guide Crash as he spins, slides and speeds through the three levels: Turtle Woods, Lost City and Temple Ruins.
