We are coming from here.

I'm not gonna lie, guys, neither say the opposite: there are people who play in their phones, I bet you do, so do I. I'm curious to know what do you play in your phones, what kind of "phone gamer" are you. Remember PDAs? The only games that things had were mineswipper, solitaire, chess, sudoku among others. All those are games that perfectly use the touch capabilities of its device, but now, we have more process capacity, and we still have one touch screen (I know, you can touch many points of the screen at the same time). I've always seen the screen of my phone as a one big button, so, I can't play any game that needs more than one touch to be played. I do limit my catalogue of games to those mentioned above, and I really like them. I love sudoku.

What do you play in your phone?

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

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.

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'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.

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 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

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

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