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?
Mtg Arena mostly. Recently started Cells and it’s pretty neat, but pretty boring tbh. No lose-state = no stakes = only fun in small doses.
Vampire Survivor real fun too
- Pinball Deluxe Reloaded: so good
- lichess: so addicted
ISEPS and Balatro.

Space Trader and Dope Wars, all the way. Still worth playing today! You can emulate it on Archive.org or there’s Android ports for Space Trader. Still a fun game. :D
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.

When keeping it real goes wrong…
Honkai Star Rail. Typical gacha hero collector. The gameplay is fun, the story is engaging, and you don’t have to spend any money if you don’t want to. I like the option of a phone game during my commute or at night in bed.

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.
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)I was playing Jedi Knight up to some time ago, now Eternal Darkness on the emulator (both with a cheap BT controller)
Shattered Pixel Dungeon roguelike GPL v3.0
Seconded, can be quite hard to pick up at first, but developing strategies and learning is soooo rewarding
Same, it’s a nice little game to pickup!
Eternal Card Game
