Sonic runners revival!
It's the full original Sonic Runners game that was discontinued by SEGA, but dedicated fans have revived it via reverse engineering the backend server responses and patching the app to point to their servers to keep the app running.

Even though it's "just" a mobile game, it's surprisingly high quality, has a full blown story mode and even the multiplayer features still work!

Downloaded!

brotato and vampire survivors

[–] valen@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I like playing Monument Valley. The twists are fun!

[–] stepan@lemmy.fmhy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)
  • Monument Valley 2 [paid] - amazing for relaxing
  • Standoff 2 - just a shooter game that doesn't force all of the cases and levels and upgrading. It has those features, but I just open the game and start the match.
  • Falling Lightblocks - best Tetris clone.
  • Antimine - Minesweeper with ton of themes and settings. It's FOSS but the Google Play version has ads, download from F-Droid.
  • Flowit (F-Droid ,GPlay) - simple FOSS game that melts my brain after first few levels.
  • Despotism 3k [paid] - great game. It's pretty hard. Very funny too.
  • Mindustry (F-Droid, GPlay) - My brain is too small to understand this game. But it's fun.
[–] Seasoned_Greetings@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Mindustry is a completely different (and much less frustrating) game on steam, for what it's worth. Mostly due to the fact mouse+keyboard is MUCH more intuitive than touch controls. Also fun fact, as long as you're running the same version, you can port your save game between your phone and your pc.

Egg, Inc. - simple game, feels like the olden days but it's also entirely modernised. Just recieved a tonne of qol enhancements.

If you are a regular player and got far enough to need a co-op, and play well. Hit me up!

Vampire Survivors!

[–] Seasoned_Greetings@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I saw Slay the Spire mentioned exactly once, so I'm going to put the highlight on my current favorite mobile game:

Slay the Spire is a deck-builder roguelike that gives you a different experience every single game. It encourages broken mechanics and rewards inventiveness while having enough rng to feel like a fresh experience. It's challenging enough to make winning feel like you earned it, but not so challenging that you can't win if you really try.

The android version is a pay-once full port of the pc version, achievements and all. The touch controls are very well done. I've been hooked since 2020 when I discovered the game on steam.

[–] WhereGondor@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It's my favorite too! I never get bored because there's always been strategies to explore. Also love that it's offline so I can play anywhere, like a plane

[–] Doozy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My go-tos at the moment are:

  • Oldschool Runescape - wooooooooo
  • Danmaku Death - old, free, no in-app purchases or ads bullet hell game from 2014, but it's delisted from the play store...

Other games I've enjoyed

  • Super Auto Pets. Base game is free with no ads, but there are cosmetics and expansion packs.
  • Pixel Dungeon and its variants. Free roguelike with no ads and no in app purchases.
  • Magikarp Jump. Fun little incremental game where you make magikarp jump. Has in-app purchases.

I remember the magic I experienced the first time I played RS back in 2007. The game was mind opening. Although I only had a free account, but nevertheless had a blast getting my first Adam and Rune full gear.

How is OSRS for you now? What are you enjoying the most. I wonder if I will get the spark back if I try it or if I'll be overwhelmed of the options of things to do

I love hue and I love hue too Tsuki adventure 2 and Tsuki odyssey MonopolyGo Wild Rift And I'm switching between some idle tycoon games.

[–] Nevermore@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Chess.com and Lichess

[–] Ataraxia@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

These are the games I have installed

Out of all of these if I weren't always at home and had a controller with me it's vampire survivor and dead cells. No controller, reigns.

[–] ggnoredo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

how is baldur's gate on a touch screen?

[–] mudamuda@geddit.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] LittleTransPunk@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I did play Shattered pixel dungeon, then I tried the original pixel dungeon, and now, after finishing echo pixel dungeon, I'm going to try out remixed dungeon, summoning pixel dungeon, and serenity PD. IMO they're all great, it's just that pixel dungeon is the original and the rest are forks (better than knockoffs in the proprietary world)

[–] Sebastrion@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Vampire Survivors (don't worry i'm not addicted... I can stop at any time if I want)

[–] drew_belloc@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sometimes a break is needed to play something different, like holocure for example, then more vampire survivors

[–] Sebastrion@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I hope we will see a Holocure mobile version one day. i really like it, and it would be perfect to play on the go or in lunch break like vampire survivor.

[–] kinther@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Papers, Please is a great port that works on my S22 just fine. I also enjoy Game Dev Tycoon (not Game Dev Story), Into the Breach (if you're a Netflix customer it's free), and Chess.com (if you're into chess, just set it to a 24 hour game so you can play once a day)

[–] Marxine@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Genshin Impact, Punishing: Gray Raven and Streets of Rage 4 (non-gacha)

Thankfully that's as far as I'll go into gacha nation (until the release of Wuthering Waves, at least). I'm good at controlling my wallet and not thirsting over every character.

Not a "game" technically, but I love Conway's Game of Life. Robust features and just plain cool.

[–] nebula42@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I use eboox to read, don't really have any games on my phone besides lichess

[–] puddlexplorer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

  • Sudoku
  • Mindustry
  • Assembly Line
  • Godville
  • Lichess

'Dots' and 'Two Dots'

[–] GullibleOyster@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Space cadet pinball is the only game

[–] Gorroth@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Star Wars KOTOR and just started Elder Scrolls Morrowind via OpenMW. And if I don’t have much time I play PokeMMO

[–] avatar@vlemmy.net 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I find mobile games to be a crapshoot, and I've only ever found a select few hidden gems that are exceptions:

  • Armory & Machine, an incremental game. Avoid the sequel.
  • Underhand, a card game good enough for people who don't like card games.
[–] Illecors@lemmy.cafe 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Play store does not allow me to download it on android 13 :( says it's too new

[–] avatar@vlemmy.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

?? they both work for me on android 13

[–] TAG@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

But was your phone on Android 13 when you first installed them?

[–] kremdostup@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Phigros, Hill Climb Racing, Patapon on PPSSPP, Piano Tiles 2 (hmu for the original apk), Cytoid Other than that I just doomscroll

[–] Devgard@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

  • Bloons TD 6
  • Plato (this one is actually a collection of classic multiplayer games)
  • Dicey Dungeons
  • Levelhead
  • Endless Quiz
[–] nonprofitparrot@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Super Auto Pets is really fun and laid back. Its very strategic and pretty mechanically deep, but you battle against teams that have been pre-recorded from other players, so you can close the game at any time and rejoin whenever you have downtime. Imo it's the best parts of PVP and single player combined.

[–] lolreconlol@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Downloaded! I've never heard of it.

I use fo2.exe to play original Fallouts

[–] Anti_Weeb_Penguin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago
[–] LazyBane@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

10000000

It's a match three game, where you have to escape a dungeon by running 10000000 miles. Go in, get gold, exp and resources, upgrade and repeat. I've played though at least once everything I upgrade my phone. Just a well made game.

[–] Gadg3tm@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Genshin impact, when not killing time here or reading articles elsewhere.
