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?
Mtg Arena mostly. Recently started Cells and it’s pretty neat, but pretty boring tbh. No lose-state = no stakes = only fun in small doses.
Vampire Survivor real fun too
Vampire Survivors and the SMT gacha game.
I have a few emulators but the touch screen controls are torture.
- Pinball Deluxe Reloaded: so good
- lichess: so addicted
I waste my time on a website I found years ago on r/beermoney that pays pennies for installing and playing shitty games. Most of them are the garbage match 3 or dominoes or whatever. I figured out most of them still pay out even with my ad blocker on so I just dissociate with that instead of doom scrolling sometimes.
It’s not the greatest thing ever and I know it’s bad for privacy and capitalism and for many other reasons, but I’ve made like $600 on it in the last 3 years so that’s been cool.
Shattered Pixel Dungeon roguelike GPL v3.0
Seconded, can be quite hard to pick up at first, but developing strategies and learning is soooo rewarding
Same, it’s a nice little game to pickup!
Nothing, and it’s not because I don’t play mobile games. I have a GrapheneOS phone that is so insulated from modern technology that it can barely run Uber/Lyft… so I keep games on my computers and tablets. Me having a bunch of gadgets (I have a Steam Deck and a dedicated tablet for mobile games) helps too
And… speaking of this topic. I am slightly competitive on a mobile gacha game at the moment; almost no serious players for these “mobile game” play on phone because screen too small, so they end up using the PC clients anyway…
Mostly emulators and a little chess
Twenty and Balatro Sometimes Rummy or Blokus
Pinball Deluxe Reloaded
It’s a fun little time waster, I like that I don’t have any ads on it either
Solitaire. That’s it.
When keeping it real goes wrong…
Pixel dungeon, oceanhorn, emulators…
Nothing, mobile games are either boring or littered with ads or pay to win
The screen is also way too small
I play sudoku and chess puzzles.
