Ask Lemmy

Shattered Pixel Dungeon roguelike GPL v3.0

Simon Tatham's puzzle game collection.

Vampire Survivors and the SMT gacha game.

I have a few emulators but the touch screen controls are torture.

Chess, mostly

I play pornhub

Solitaire. That's it.

Foss sodoku apps from F-Droid

Tons of stuff:

I have ~135 game apps plus some that are not exactly games but not exactly for productivity.

I have lemuroid and a pile of old console games.

I have a few sites for doing other little games, like daily Akari.

highlights:

Collapsus

Endless Sky

Pixel Dungeon

Luanti

Gladiabots

Mindustry

PartyHardGO

OpenTTD

Oxenfree

Revoltaire

The full set of games by Yiotro (a dev who puts it all out there for free, no ads, and lets you buy in if you like it)

Terraria

Underhand

Space Chem

A collection of puzzle games off of Fdroid just called puzzles. It has akari, sudoku, minesweeper, signpost, galaxies, towers, etc. All the games you might find buried in the back of a newspaper.

Stardew Valley

Tic-80

A pile of games from itch.io

Mini Metro

I'm an old bastard and mostly play patience, sudoku, and cryptic crosswords on my phone. And maybe Bloons TD 6 to get the dailies if I'm away from home without my laptop.

On console I play mostly single-player RPGs but I also play PUBG. Tried that on mobile (how my kids play it) but fuck that shit!

Also, what the hell is going on with that cloud? Isn't it cold? What's for pudding? Why do policemen look so young these days? Everything was better when I was a youngster!

Nonogram

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

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

I play sudoku and chess puzzles.

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

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.

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

Pinball Deluxe Reloaded

It's a fun little time waster, I like that I don't have any ads on it either

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

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

Nothing, mobile games are either boring or littered with ads or pay to win

The screen is also way too small

Eternal Card Game

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

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

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)

ISEPS and Balatro.

Twenty and Balatro Sometimes Rummy or Blokus

Nothing, and it's not because I don't play mobile games. I have a GrapheneOS phone that is so insulated from modern technology that it can barely run Uber/Lyft... so I keep games on my computers and tablets. Me having a bunch of gadgets (I have a Steam Deck and a dedicated tablet for mobile games) helps too

And... speaking of this topic. I am slightly competitive on a mobile gacha game at the moment; almost no serious players for these "mobile game" play on phone because screen too small, so they end up using the PC clients anyway...

• Pinball Deluxe Reloaded: so good
• lichess: so addicted

I waste my time on a website I found years ago on r/beermoney that pays pennies for installing and playing shitty games. Most of them are the garbage match 3 or dominoes or whatever. I figured out most of them still pay out even with my ad blocker on so I just dissociate with that instead of doom scrolling sometimes.

It's not the greatest thing ever and I know it's bad for privacy and capitalism and for many other reasons, but I've made like $600 on it in the last 3 years so that's been cool.

Polytopia. Like a very light Civ. No dark patterns or commercials.

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

Umamusume Pretty Derby

I've been playing for about 3.5 years.

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.

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.

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

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.

And sometimes Chess.

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.
