Mindustry is a completely different (and much less frustrating) game on steam, for what it's worth. Mostly due to the fact mouse+keyboard is MUCH more intuitive than touch controls. Also fun fact, as long as you're running the same version, you can port your save game between your phone and your pc.
Sonic runners revival!
It's the full original Sonic Runners game that was discontinued by SEGA, but dedicated fans have revived it via reverse engineering the backend server responses and patching the app to point to their servers to keep the app running.
Even though it's "just" a mobile game, it's surprisingly high quality, has a full blown story mode and even the multiplayer features still work!
Downloaded!
brotato and vampire survivors
Egg, Inc. - simple game, feels like the olden days but it's also entirely modernised. Just recieved a tonne of qol enhancements.
If you are a regular player and got far enough to need a co-op, and play well. Hit me up!
I saw Slay the Spire mentioned exactly once, so I'm going to put the highlight on my current favorite mobile game:
Slay the Spire is a deck-builder roguelike that gives you a different experience every single game. It encourages broken mechanics and rewards inventiveness while having enough rng to feel like a fresh experience. It's challenging enough to make winning feel like you earned it, but not so challenging that you can't win if you really try.
The android version is a pay-once full port of the pc version, achievements and all. The touch controls are very well done. I've been hooked since 2020 when I discovered the game on steam.
It's my favorite too! I never get bored because there's always been strategies to explore. Also love that it's offline so I can play anywhere, like a plane
I find mobile games to be a crapshoot, and I've only ever found a select few hidden gems that are exceptions:
Play store does not allow me to download it on android 13 :( says it's too new
My go-tos at the moment are:
Other games I've enjoyed
Papers, Please is a great port that works on my S22 just fine. I also enjoy Game Dev Tycoon (not Game Dev Story), Into the Breach (if you're a Netflix customer it's free), and Chess.com (if you're into chess, just set it to a 24 hour game so you can play once a day)
Vampire Survivors!
Shattered Pixel Dungeon
These are the games I have installed
Out of all of these if I weren't always at home and had a controller with me it's vampire survivor and dead cells. No controller, reigns.
how is baldur's gate on a touch screen?
Vampire Survivors (don't worry i'm not addicted... I can stop at any time if I want)
Sometimes a break is needed to play something different, like holocure for example, then more vampire survivors
I use eboox to read, don't really have any games on my phone besides lichess
I like playing Monument Valley. The twists are fun!
I've gotten reeeeeally into pocket city 2 recently, i can't put it down.
Star Wars KOTOR and just started Elder Scrolls Morrowind via OpenMW. And if I don’t have much time I play PokeMMO
Genshin Impact, Punishing: Gray Raven and Streets of Rage 4 (non-gacha)
Thankfully that's as far as I'll go into gacha nation (until the release of Wuthering Waves, at least). I'm good at controlling my wallet and not thirsting over every character.
I love hue and I love hue too, Tsuki adventure 2 and Tsuki odyssey, MonopolyGo, Wild Rift and I'm switching between some idle tycoon games.
Slay the Spire
Really Bad Chess
Ticket to Ride
Nonograms Katana
Atomas
One More Brick
Chess.com and Lichess
Slay the Spire and Marvel Snap. Killed 100s of hours on both
Brotato completely eclipsed Vampire Survivors for me.
The android version of Dicey Dungeons plays very well. I can definitely recommend that one.
Super Auto Pets is really fun and laid back. Its very strategic and pretty mechanically deep, but you battle against teams that have been pre-recorded from other players, so you can close the game at any time and rejoin whenever you have downtime. Imo it's the best parts of PVP and single player combined.
Space cadet pinball is the only game
Genshin impact, when not killing time here or reading articles elsewhere.
Vampire Survivors
shattered pixel dungeon for a quick waiting room, mindustry for that conveyor crack cocaine of a game
2048
'Dots' and 'Two Dots'
Any Kairosoft game. They are so addictive! No Ads, you pay and play forever. Perfect.
You can start with one of this:
Tropical Resort Story
Game Dev Story
kingdom Adventures
Grand Prix Story (1)
BonBon Cakery
My daughter got me addicted to Cookie Run Kingdom
Phigros, Hill Climb Racing, Patapon on PPSSPP, Piano Tiles 2 (hmu for the original apk), Cytoid Other than that I just doomscroll
Legends of runeterra
I've got Morrowind on my fold3, it's amazing
I still spend a couple of hours a week playing plague inc.
I've been playing a lot of peglin, super auto pets, slice & dice, and Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links.
