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?

    Vampire Survivors and the SMT gacha game.

    I have a few emulators but the touch screen controls are torture.

    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.

    Up until recently, I played Hearthstone every day for ten years. Some seasons were more fun than others, but ever since around November, I really haven’t played it at all.

    So, I downloaded Balatro around November. I really did not expect to get addicted to that game.

    Right now, I’m kind of in between games, so I’m checking this list for ideas.

    I uninstalled the only one I had because it skirted my ad skirting.

    I was playing Jedi Knight up to some time ago, now Eternal Darkness on the emulator (both with a cheap BT controller)

    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
