BossTally keeps a short register of Android titles from Google Play. Every line carries the developer, the Google Play score, the number of reviews standing behind that score, and a note on what the game actually asks of you.
The register: seven entries, in the order they were logged
Each entry keeps the same four things together — the score, the review count, one screen from the game and a note written after a session on a handset. Links to Google Play are advertising placements; they buy a labelled link and nothing else on this page.

A city builder that starts with a few blocks and grows into a working map: roads, housing, shops and transport all have to keep up with each other. Buildings produce goods on timers, so the layout decides how far every delivery has to travel. It rewards planning over speed: a street laid out early still shapes the district twenty buildings later.
A jammed parking yard cleared one vehicle at a time: tap a car or bus and it drives off along the arrow it faces, provided the lane ahead is clear. Later boards stack colour-matched rows, so the order you choose matters far more than speed. Portrait layout, short sessions, one thumb.
A colour-by-number canvas: every numbered area maps to a swatch and fills in with a tap, with a magnifier for the small pieces. New line art arrives daily — animals, florals, landscapes — and finished pieces stay in a personal gallery. The smallest review base in this edition, so read the score as an early one.
Klondike patience with one-card and three-card draws, unlimited undo and a move counter that keeps you honest. Portrait and landscape layouts are both supported, along with left-handed placement and swappable table backgrounds. Runs without a connection once installed.
Crossword grids crossed with word search: clues sit around the board and answers are traced letter by letter against a clock. Sets are graded, so the vocabulary widens as boards are completed, and progress follows an account across devices. The widest review base in this edition by a clear margin.
An arcade motorbike ride across sealed roads, ice tracks and canyon routes, steered by tilt or by tap. Finishing position opens the next route and the next bike, and the handling stays forgiving the whole way through. The controls are simple; the difficulty sits in line choice and timing.
A city bus route simulator with indicators, doors, marked stops and a timetable to keep. Completed routes open depot work — engines, seating and liveries — so the fleet changes shape as the map widens. Traffic behaves predictably, which leaves the schedule as the real test.
Five conditions, applied in the same order to every title. Nothing here is scored out of ten by us: the number on the card is the one Google Play showed on the day of the check.
Listed on Google Play
The title has to be live on the Australian Google Play store and to install on a current Android handset. In-game advertising and anything else that interrupts a session are written into the note rather than left out of it.
Score copied on the day
The rating and the review count are read from the Play listing and recorded exactly as shown. The two numbers always travel together, because 4.8 from a few thousand readers is a different claim from 4.4 from four hundred thousand.
A session on a handset
Every entry gets at least one sitting on a mid-range Android phone: install, first run, settings, and the point where the game starts asking for your attention.
Calm subject matter
The register keeps to building, puzzle, card, colouring, driving and racing titles — the kind of thing you can open on a tram without a second thought.
Advertising kept to one side
Advertising placements are labelled wherever they appear. A placement buys a labelled link and nothing else: not a position on the list, not a score, not a sentence in a note.

Three entries worth opening first
Not a ranking — three entries that answer three different questions: the highest score on the list, the score with the most readers behind it, and the one that keeps working when the signal drops out.
Highest score
Easy Color: Color by Number
The top score in this edition, and the quietest game on the list: pick a canvas, tap the numbered areas, put the phone down whenever you like. Worth knowing that the score rests on the smallest audience here, so it may move as the listing ages.
Nearly seven hundred thousand readers have rated this one, which makes 4.7 the steadiest number in the register. The boards are graded rather than random, so the vocabulary widens at a pace you set by finishing.
Patience that behaves the same on a plane, in a tunnel or on a country road: no connection required after installation, unlimited undo, and layout settings that suit either hand. The plainest entry on the list, and the one most likely to stay installed.
One notice per edition: entries added, entries removed, scores re-read. No phone number is asked for, and there is no other list behind this one.

05 FAQ
Questions readers actually send
The whole list is re-read about once a month, and out of turn whenever something moves: a title that leaves Google Play, a score that has shifted far enough to matter, or a game that no longer behaves the way its note describes. The date on the opening panel is the date of the last full read.
One editor, working from Australia — there is no panel, no vote and no ranking algorithm behind the order. A title goes forward when its genre fits the register and it holds up during a session on a handset. Links out to Google Play are advertising placements and are labelled as such in the terms; they have no effect on which titles are listed, on the order of the list, or on the wording of a note — an entry that is not worth opening simply is not carried. The full disclosure sits in the terms of use.
Straight from each game's Google Play listing, read on 13 August 2026 and copied without rounding. Play scores move as new ratings arrive, so treat the figure as a snapshot of that day; the store page always holds the current one.
Most of them carry in-game advertising, and the amount varies a great deal from one entry to the next. Where the interruptions are heavy enough to change how a game feels, the note says so plainly instead of leaving you to find out after the install.
Your e-mail address and, if you allow notifications, a browser push identifier are recorded so the next edition can reach you. Nothing else is collected — no phone number, no address book, no profile. You can opt out at any time from your browser settings or by writing to the editor; details are in the privacy notice.
06 About
A register, not a chart
BossTally is a small editorial project run from Australia. It keeps one list of Android games from Google Play and maintains it the way a register is maintained: entries are added when they are worth carrying, amended when the facts change, and struck out when they leave the store or stop working.
There is no ranking algorithm behind it, and no popularity feed. Seven entries is a deliberate size — short enough that every line can be checked by one person before an edition goes out, and long enough to cover different reasons for picking up a phone: building something, sorting something, drawing something, or simply passing twenty minutes on the tram.
How this site works
One editor, one list, and a method plain enough to check line by line:
Titles are picked from Google Play by genre, then opened on an Android handset before anything is written about them.
Scores and review counts are copied from the Play listing on the day of the check, and that date stays on the page.
Notes and assessments are the editor's own opinion, written from that session rather than from a store description.
The register is re-read roughly once a month, and outbound links to Google Play are labelled as advertising placements in the terms of use.
07 Trust
What you can check for yourself
Four commitments that can be verified from the page itself, without taking our word for anything.
Opened on a handset
No entry is written from a store description alone. Each one is installed and run before it is listed, and the note describes that session.
Scores copied, not estimated
The number beside each title is the Google Play score of the day, shown with the review count that supports it. Open the store page and compare.
Advertising kept separate
Placements buy a labelled link, never a position or a sentence. The arrangement is described in the terms rather than buried in a footnote.
Corrections logged
If a figure here disagrees with the store, tell us and the entry is amended in the next edition: editor@bosstally.com.

What players say on Google Play
Quoted word for word from the Google Play listings of games in this register, as shown on the Australian store. The rating, the wording and the name are each reviewer's own.
I'm completely satisfied with this motorcycle racing app. If you ever feel bored. It's certainly something fun to do.

It is a really good game. One thing that I like about this game is that it teaches you to also keep care of the nature with building a city.
