    Its for people who like simple games (theres over 400+ now) and “game and watch” kind of setup. I like putting it in my wallet and bringing it out when I get bored. It gets something like 8-9 hours of battery life. So much that I forget to charge it for weeks on end.

    You can also tinker like crazy. I got a couple of games and apps that work with it. Its all C++ but as long as it runs on an Arduino it can most likely run on the device.

    I have a miyoo mini plus. And it doesn’t scratch the itch that the arduboy has with simple/tinker games. Both are made for different reasons.

    Hope that answers your question!

      Guess it’s just personal preference. I’m generally gaming on the train ride into work so I’ve got a solid 30 minute block to play and have space in my bag for a larger device. I’m also not usually looking to tinker with devices much post initial setup but can understand why someone would enjoy doing so. Thanks for answering, glhf.
