Ask Lemmy

Shattered Pixel Dungeon roguelike GPL v3.0

Simon Tatham's puzzle game collection.

Chess, mostly

I never really have more than one game at a time. Right now it's Pokemon TCG Pocket.

Solitaire. That's it.

I play pornhub

Nonogram

https://www.nonograms.org/nonograms/size/xsmall

Foss sodoku apps from F-Droid

Mini Metro

I play sudoku and chess puzzles.

Mostly Lemmy, but I reinstalled Hoplite for a flight a while ago.

I play Stardew Valley sometimes, but it's not as fun as the pc version.

I've had Backpack Brawl for a while, and Balatro too. Most other games I don't play for longer than a month or so. I did play Super Snail for a long time because I liked my clubmates, but the bird update killed it for me lol

Up until recently, I played Hearthstone every day for ten years. Some seasons were more fun than others, but ever since around November, I really haven't played it at all.

So, I downloaded Balatro around November. I really did not expect to get addicted to that game.

Right now, I'm kind of in between games, so I'm checking this list for ideas.

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

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

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)

Basically just 2048. I have actually had a single 7x7 game going for literally months.

Solitaire and chess. Istg, I'm not a boomer. 24 here

Pixel dungeon, oceanhorn, emulators...

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.

ISEPS and Balatro.

My son and I just started playing COD Mobile again. It’s fun to grind. It’s absolutely a cash grab, but we don’t get involved with that part of it. It’s really the only game that I play these days, as I’m not really a gamer.

He plays a few other games on his phone and Xbox.

I have 378 hours on..

Calculator, Doom Scroll Edition

I'll admit it, I play a lot of Gardenscapes and those Diner Dash games before that. But if you're looking for more of an action game feel, try Vampire Survivors. It's free and pretty well done for what it is. You just survive as long as you can as hordes of monsters come at you. You upgrade weapons as it gets harder and harder.

I used to have a PDA, even back in the late '90s I got as a hand-me-down. I used to play games on that and my first several phones. These days, though, if I'm using my phone it's never for gaming. If I have free time, I'm using a flashcard app to study or watching previously-downloaded youtube vids for downtime. I guess the one exception was when I was doing the prep for a colonoscopy, I fired up ALTTPR on a SNES emulator on tablet to kill time. That's the only time I can think of in the last probably 2 years I've played any games on anything mobile at all.

I've got mini metro, something called shapez that I've not played, functional ear trainer which I'm classifying as a game cause it kinda is, and NYT games which is the only one I play regularly.

Mostly Pikmin Bloom right now. I like how it keeps me active, gets me out of the house, highlights public art in my city... and the pikmin are cute, of course. I appreciate that, while there are microtransactions, you can earn the coins easily through gameplay.

But previous favorites included:

• Hoplite

• Pixel Dungeon

• Chrono Trigger mobile port

• Battle for Polytopia

• Merchant RPG

• micRogue

Umamusume Pretty Derby

I've been playing for about 3.5 years.

I was playing Jedi Knight up to some time ago, now Eternal Darkness on the emulator (both with a cheap BT controller)

I uninstalled the only one I had because it skirted my ad skirting.

I haven't had games on my phone for closer to a decade.

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.

Threes

Lyne

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.

When I ever play on my phone it's emulated stuff

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.

Breakout 71

Once human. By far the best phone game by such a long way
