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!
Shattered pixel dungeon. So fucking addictive and good
And completely free of ads, microtransactions, and locked content of any description.
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.
That’s pretty alarming that Legenbeary Games collects location and personal info. I would avoid such a developer.
Damn, I was gonna write a whole thing about that and say FOSS etc. games are especially appreciated. Sorry!
I use a couple of things to stop stuff like that, haven’t found anything that works perfectly for everything but the most used ones I’ve had (to my knowledge) success with:
Adguard to block any Internet connection to an app. (Adguard website link)
Warden (gitlab link, latest release was 3 years ago but it still works for some apps)
Permission Manager X (f-droid link)
I’ll update the post tomorrow with the part I meant to add! Just took my sleeping pills so it’s goodbye working brain till then.
Again, sorry! I had this in mind from the start, just got so focused on getting links and formatting… No excuse, my bad.
It’s fine. I use NetGuard myself. The bigger issue is with apps that require a connection to run.
Clash Royale mostly and sometimes the Alto’s series
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).
Mini Metro
Mario Run
Vampire Survivors
Card Crawl
Card Thief

Professor Layton

Wingspan
10000000Typically I don’t, but in the past Duet was great, except I finished the game.
Auralux and SwordandGlory are the only two I ever open these days.
I don’t really play games but I do have Antimine that I use occasionally.
Gonna check it out! I have a LOT of hours in Minesweeper - The Clean One and they look very similar from just the screenshots. But animation and feel play a big part in minimalist stuff. Thanks for the recommendation!
Nothing particularly unique - Stardew Valley, Minecraft: Java Edition, Minetest, Hill Climb Racing, Vector Pinball, Geometry Dash, Cookie Clicker, Crash Bandicoot through Lemuroid, 2048
Geometry dash is special, I remember playing it in its first years back in 2013-2015. It was cool then but never super popular, but man have they worked on it and made one of the coolest and most powerful level editors ever. Haven’t played it myself since back then but my younger half-brother and all his friends are crazy about it, and I keep up to date with the unbelievable levels people make. And the frame perfect world records.
Unciv is all I’ll say.
A few from memory that are puzzle type:
Phoenix wright series
Danganronpa series
Professor Layton series
Rusty lake series
Ghost trick
Dadish
I’ve been slogging through the Plants vs Zombies 2 Reflourished mod. That, and continuing with Fire Emblem Heroes. Otherwise, not much.
Dead cells, genshin impact, titan quest, vampire survivors, magic survival, delight games, wreckfest, interstellar pilot, 9th dawn 3 RPG, 20 minutes till dawn, Alien shooter 2 reloaded, Asphalt extreme Netflix edition, Bit dungeon 3, morphite, crying suns, death’s door Netflix edition, doomdepths, dragonfist limitless, powder roguelike, grimvalor, hollow knight, hero siege: pocket edition, magium.
There are lots more but these are the games which I mix and play once a while.
I like to play Papers Please on my phone, I put it in endless mode to just play a little here and there if I have a short amount of free time. I also have Kingdom Two Crowns which isn’t necessarily a puzzle game as much as it could be considered a strategy game
