Hey! I looked around a bit and the last thread like this I found was several months ago, so I thought I’d make a new one. As per the title, what game do you play on your phone? I’m both looking for new ones myself by also hope others might find some of interest to them.

For my own part of this I mostly like puzzle games, especially these:

Hook, Klocki, NABOKI etc. from Rainbow Trains games

Monument Valley games from ustwo games

The Room series from Fireproof games

I Love Hue duology from Zut!

And all the games from Legenbeary games (very addicted to Wordathlon, currently at level 3253)

(all playstore links)

Would love recommendations of any lesser-known similar ones! But post anything you like of course. :)

Hope anyone finds something they like from my list above or recommend by others in comments (if there are any, heh).

Cheers!

Yeah! Played that a lot a couple of years ago, and some of the variations. Ever tried Caves (roguelike)? Similar in a lot of ways but I like the design more.

I was trying to send you down a rabbit hole and you just pulled the ‘no u’ card.

Thanks

Maybe I’m weird but I don’t. I miss those days of genuine well crafted smartphone games you bought once and played.

I bought the games I played but I guess a few bucks was too much for most people. It’s just not worth shoveling through garbage to find a few gems when I could spend my time doing anything else. My iPod touch was my DS back in the day.

Haven’t been playing much recently, but Shattered Pixel Dungeon is my favorite Android game.

Anything I can play with a controller on my PC, because I can stream Steam games to my phone from my PC over the Internet and I have a thing to hold my phone with a Bluetooth controller.

I’ve wanted to get a holder to join my phone and controller, but I haven’t found one that works with any of the controllers I have :/ I’m a sucker for buttons on the underside of controllers and the “official” ones available (xbox elite and dualsense edge) are way too expensive… And those are the only ones that I find phone attachment thingys for. I have a Gulikit KK3 and it’s an absolutely amazing controller, only two small negatives are the lack of the above-mentioned and a headphone jack. Otherwise, it’s easily the best normal style controller I’ve ever used (I have a deep love for the original steam controller, but mine died a while ago and it has some glaring issues that barely make up for all the greatness).

I never thought of using it over the internet. I guess it must be working somewhat well. Nice and thanks!

Thought I’d chime in and also recommend GeForce Now and Shadow for cloud streaming on your phone, both work well for specific games. Nothing that needs super quick response times and frame-perfect inputs, but more games than I would have guessed work great!

I used GeForce now on my desktop in the past. It was pretty good. Even for games like cyberpunk.

Every single color made by Barte Bonte. I’m really hyped for Purple to come out.

Start with Green

Oooh, I’ve tried those games, think I finished the first two but just forgot about them. Thanks for the reminder! Definitely picking up the rest.

Oh yeah, been deep into minesweeper a couple of times through the years. Specifically love Minesweeper - The Clean One. Very well designed both in UI and UX.

That’s the one! It’s so cool. I was hooked for a good bit when I first tried it out. It’s so damn satisfying to use
