What The Pho is an Android time-killer

What do you do when you're stuck in a doctor's waiting room or a government office and you have a few minutes to kill? Sure, you could do a little research on that report that's due is a few hours or write the email you've been putting off.

But more likely, you fire up a game on your mobile phone, one that you know will be a sure-fire time-killer. It has to be simple, with not much thinking required, and you have to be able to leave it at a moment's notice.

That's the sweet spot targeted by the developers of What The Pho, a new, free and addictive game for Androids. Although pho plays a starring role in the game, you don't have to know anything about the Vietnamese noodle soup or even care care for it.

What you do need is quick reflexes and the ability to tap on items as they float down the screen. And your goal is a simple one: beat your best score.

Think of Tetris, but with linguine and strips of beef.

This tasty diversion if awaiting your order at the Google Play Store. No chopsticks required.
