    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!

    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

        It’s as good as it used to be. I’ve enjoyed doing quests and fighting bosses. Grinding is slow but tolerable if you have a video or podcast you wanted to watch or listen to. Coming back as an adult is a different experience. You’ll find yourself being a bit more directed in how you play and it’s easy to optimise the fun out of the game. It’s decent on mobile and I have heard of people fighting endgame bosses on their phones.

        It is easy to get overwhelmed on p2p. My advice is you set a goal and go for that, or you pick a thing you really want to do and just do that and let the game slowly open up from there.

    • 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.

    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.

      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

    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)

    1. Dicey Dungeons, awesome game, you can leave whenever you want (not in the middle of combat tho) and it will save. I personally prefer the phone version than the pc one.
    2. Kingdoms (New Lands, Two Crowns…) pretty chill games, although they can be a little repetitive if you do multiple runs.
    3. Reventure, really funny game, pretty uknown, but totally worth it.

    Honestly, KotoR has been really nice. It never occurred to me that the game would port to mobile so well.

    Also two friends of mine made a game called Senpei. They’re a disgusting married couple that both work from home out of the same office. One does art; the other is a game dev. The bastards.

    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.
