Boom Beach is basically a perfected CoC. It's made by the same people and feels like a re-skinned CoC with all the annoying shit removed and you never hit a pay wall. Plus, the mouth is closed in the thumbnail!
+1 for Boom Beach
got addicted, got my friends addicted
Looks like boom beach a bit.

I had a good time with Boom Beach
I am all about the casual games. I usually dont have time to sit and play for 30+ minutes at a time.
that said, here are the 5 games I have installed on my phone right now.
Boom beach - I'm not one for strategy games, but this one is good. its pretty addictive, and if you dont play much (i pick the game up 2-3 times/day for 5 minutes or so) its easy to andvance without spending a dime. graphics are good, gameplay is easy enough, and going against other players gives a good challenge.
Splice - this is one I just started playing again today. man, I missed it. its a puzzle game where you try and merge/plice "DNA" to get a certain shape. hard to explain really. but its got really nice graphics and an awesome soundtrack. its a quick 5 mintue type game...very challenging down the road...I love it
Hitman Sniper - just picked this up over the holiday for $0.10 or something stupid cheap. I'm only a few levels in. it takes a little time to load, but once it does, you can complete a mission in a few minutes. gameplay could be a little better, but overall, its not bad. this is probably my least favorite game I have installed...but its still fun.
Crossy Road - Cool 8-bit graphics. stupid easy game play. pretty addictive take on Frogger. I especially enjoy the pacman character...its a cross between pacman and frogger...its just plain fun. this is the definition of casual as you can be in and out in a minute.
CSR Racing - its a fairly large game, so load time is a bit much for casual...the game is easily hacked with root so I kept it around. its cool getting cars and upgrading them...honesly, I'm not sure how difficult it is to progress through the game without hacking. but either way, they are like 20 second drag races....really nice graphics, and smooth 60fps to boot. really nice Eye candy. the sounds could be better, but the graphics are hard to beat. awesome if you enjoy drag racing games.
Getting players to join is good. Retaining them is also needed. Right now the only thing most players can do is gain FP is watching the number go up, which ok fine, incremental base building is a thing after all...but then you can't do anything with it. That needs to be altered.
Also, the sales. Asking for 60 bucks for a sale is a monumental turn off and brings up lots of memories of terrible, shat out games that exist to empty your wallet and nothing more. If it's priced like that in an attempt to balance cash vs credits earned through game play, then the game desperately needs a two tier. Or do something else, because that kind of sale makes me think dungeon keeper mobile and I can't be the only one.
Pretty into Boom Beach android right now
Boom beach (or clash of clans i guess) are good rts games, yes, they do have IAP's, but they are really fun :D (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.supercell.boombeach) In the worst case there's always kairosoft :/ I can't remember any more strategy games, because for some people strategy is COC, and like 75% of the strategy games on google play are clash of beach, or war of clans, just rip-off's :/
