This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Every good game on mobile is a port of something made for another platform.

Well there are Gems like Temple Run, Subway Servers, Jetpack Joyride (earl Angry Birds). But most are cheap garbage with lots of ads.

If you're under 20 and/or not in the US or Europe, probably.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is fun

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is cross-platform now, so technically it's not mobile-only. And DCSS is much better than SPD, imo, as someone who has dumped unholy amounts of time into both.

What's DCSS?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.

I replayed Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 on mobile. It's a surprisingly good port.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Same with Knights of the Old Republic. But that's just it: every decent mobile game is a port.

Old school RuneScape is on mobile.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

2009scape (free and open source recreation of Runescape circa 2009) is also on Android via an unofficial port

But as others have said, the best phone games were developed for other platforms

DATA WING was short & sweet.
Transmission is full of pretty and interesting puzzles
Simon Tatham's Puzzles is a godsend
I found Mindustry through the play store

I don't know, anon, I had fun.

Monument Valley

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It doesn't quite fit into my list because it seems to be paid, but it looks wonderful, thanks. Since we're mentioning paid options, though, Zenge is nice.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

+1 for datawing. you know what it's time I give that game another playthrough.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Hope you have fun! Tell Mother I said hi.
