We are coming from here.

I’m not gonna lie, guys, neither say the opposite: there are people who play in their phones, I bet you do, so do I. I’m curious to know what do you play in your phones, what kind of “phone gamer” are you. Remember PDAs? The only games that things had were mineswipper, solitaire, chess, sudoku among others. All those are games that perfectly use the touch capabilities of its device, but now, we have more process capacity, and we still have one touch screen (I know, you can touch many points of the screen at the same time). I’ve always seen the screen of my phone as a one big button, so, I can’t play any game that needs more than one touch to be played. I do limit my catalogue of games to those mentioned above, and I really like them. I love sudoku.

What do you play in your phone?

    Right now, not much.

    I used to play Stardew Valley on my phone until I got bored of it. I was fun while it lasted.

    Into The Breach is also good (get a modded apk so you don’t need a subscription)

    Slay the Spire, still have no idea what strategies work.

    That’s pretty much it, everything else is not really fun.

    Unciv is an Honorable mention, but after a few turns and it gets dragged on for over a day, it just gets boring and I have no interest in continuing.

    I played Star Wars heroes or how it’s called for some time. Otherwise I’ve played a fair bit of fps stuff on iPods in the past. I don’t know if anyone remembers modern combat 2 and the rainbow six shooter on iOS ~early 2010s. arguably mobile games were in a better state than now. I vividly remember a tintin game which released with the animated movie or the one before, which was really really good not just for a mobile game but in general. All those games eventually got taken from the App Store either because of licensing or a successors release. And zhey got replaced with gacha games one way or another in the long run. Nowadays I merely have some -„no internet pass time“-games like a skater game and stuff don’t really game a lot in general and if I do I play on pc. I looked back into some games but after you discover the game loop it’s just the same. Grind to get you to spend money and I don’t have the patience and I don’t see the fun in it.

    Stuff made by Yiotro is pretty good
    Also got some jigsaw game but for a high privacy rating there are no premade images so i end up puzzling memes out of my library (for checking app security ratings i suggest using exodus)

    • Blendoku (Color Puzzle)
    • Nonograms Katana (Pictograms puzzle)

    I can also recommend the Cube Escape series (point and click escape)

    Nothing for about the last two years - before that? All sorts of different things. But finally realized pretty much every game was either just trying to get me to cough up more money, was a subpar experience because of interface/hardware limitations, and/or weren’t actually fun beyond giving me a brief distraction when I was bored.

    If I get to the point where I want a mobile gaming option, I’ll just get a Steam Deck. Honestly the less time I spend attached to my phone, the better.

    Honkai Star Rail. Typical gacha hero collector. The gameplay is fun, the story is engaging, and you don’t have to spend any money if you don’t want to. I like the option of a phone game during my commute or at night in bed.
