I was really surprised that this didn't become a huge thing for touchscreen phones. It seems like the format would fit well.

There are some things -- Choice of Games does multiple-choice games. Often open-source Twine-based games are out there, but I feel like the primary target of Twine is really the desktop. There are some individual games. Lone Wolf, a series of gamebooks, was ported and made free. Some other stuff out there. Just thought that it'd be a game genre that would map well to the touchscreen, but I didn't really see it taking off.
