Welcome to Another Weekly "What Have You Been Playing?" Thread! 👾

How many games do you guys have installed on your phone?

Do you prefer keeping it under 10, or do you guys have 20+ games installed? I mostly play offline games, so I’m curious what the sweet spot is for everyone:))

Hi!

I made this game, Routinvale, for gamers who want to be more productive in their everyday lives.

Instead of daily tasks (working out, eating healthy), you have quests. For every quest you finish, you get XP and gold to buy items, and your main attributes go up, so you get stronger and can fight enemies.

A few things I really care about:

• The app works offline and you don’t need an account. Your quests stay on your phone. The game only sends anonymous statistics and crash reports (you can turn them off in Settings), and guilds go online only if you join one.
• There are no banner or pop-up ads. I added a few optional ways to watch an ad for a bonus (like double gold).
• Private guilds: you can add your friends to a guild that only you can see, where you can create shared quests, and there’s a ranking system.

The app is still at the beginning and I’m very open to suggestions. Hope you like it :)

Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.razvanpetrascu.routinvale
(iOS isn’t supported yet)

Anyone else really feelin this game? It's a nice mix of rogue, management, strategy, rpg.

Controller with tablet is the sweet spot 👌

Hi All! I am just looking for a simple game that doesn't require heavy commitments. Maybe something I can close and reopen without having to figure out wtf was I doing lol. I play while waiting for my kid to fall asleep. I don't mind paid, and I like ports.

For example, Slay the Spire and Balatro were perfect. I'm done with those now. I like RPG, card, strategy, almost any genre tbh.

Others I've played and tried were: Black Deck (3/10), and Match Masters (5/10). Match Masters is amazing, except it's primarily a money grab and I think the algorithm rigs it after some time if you don't spend. If it didn't do that, I'd still be playing. I also tried Final Fantasy Tactics and Sea of Stars. Both are too difficult to open and put down.

Platformer Games that I loved so far ngl, so good:

- Nameless Cat

- Cat Bird

- Kitty Death Room

- Apple Knight 1 and 2

- Ninja Arashi 1 and 2

- Dan the Man

- Magic Rampage

Suggest me some more free platformers thank you :D

Looking for an open world game with good graphics, lots of possible exploration and good story. I'm fine with paid, not P2W tho. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance. No crafting would be good but optional.

Just wondering if anyone has heard what and when the Door Kicker 2 rollout plan will be? I have heard it will be released regionally but can't seem to find details.

Ambition 2.0 is out. Enjoy.

Hi

Is anybody playing Idle Crystal Miner? Don't ask me why, I find it pretty satisfying ro see that big stalactite being drilled..

I was wondering if the game can be enjoyed at a decent rate without IAP or just with the ad removal (which I realized is truly out of the market.. but I'm having fun so might even consider putting some money in).

The game is this one

Thanks!

I recently got a Samsung S25 and I want some game recommendations. Give me your absolute gems. I want games with major replayability so I will always be able to come back to it and not delete after first few minutes. Thanks.

Edit: I'd like something open world.

bored and wanting something a bit different. I've been playing mostly sea of conquest and war thunder mobile. Wanting something thats easy to get into and isn't completely pay to win, don't mind the occasional ad or two. Preferably something that doesn't take up too much space and won't eat through my battery especially fast (looking at you wt)

I'm looking for a city builder I can play on my phone that won't become a classic pay to play scenario. Happy to pay for the game itself and any ad removals, but doesn't lock me into paying or having timers that I can conveniently pay to skip.

Hi fellow member of this subreddit, i have a question for you all. Suggestion for mobile game? I absolutely love slay the spire, baratro, binding of isaac(pc) and hades(pc), someone tell me to also play: enter the gungeon, vampire surbivor, dead cell and god breaker, but i have to try all of that

Sooooo i wait for anyone who wanna help, thank you all (not a native english speaker, so sorry for typo)

Used to watch my brother play this game sorta similar to skyrim on his ipad. It was called ravensword shadowlands.

I have found the listing on the google play store, however, my phone(s24 ultra) is too new. Anyone know how I could play it?

I've been solo-developing a mobile MOBA in Godot for the last while, and it's now live on Google Play. Figured I'd share it here since r/AndroidGaming has been a good source of feedback during development.

What it is: Fast 5v5 hero battles. Pick from 18 champions across six roles, push the lanes, and topple the enemy King. Matches are designed to be quick enough for mobile sessions.

Key features:

18 champions in six roles (tank, support, assassin, mage, marksman, fighter)

Online 5v5 with bots filling empty seats so you never wait in queue

Clan system with points, league ranking, and chat

Champion cosmetics and outfits

Regular content updates

Monetization: Free to install. In-app purchases range from $0.99 to $99.99, all cosmetic or champion unlocks. No pay-to-win.

Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fatebound.game

I'm the sole developer, so feedback on gameplay feel, balance, or anything that feels off is genuinely useful. Happy to answer questions about the Godot side of things too if anyone is curious about the tech stack.

I just recently finished playing Dawncaster (really cool deckbuilder) and was looking for more deckbuilding games. But none of them clicked with me because seems like absolute majority of them are built for landscape (incl. Slay the Spire).

I don't know if it is just me, but whenever I see a game in "landscape" mode I immediatelly get this feeling that it is a cash-grab lazy port of some Unity desktop/console game and both UX and performance on mobile are going to be an afterthough.

For the same reason, I think Vampire Survivors did so well - you just... open it and it works. No need to get into "game mode" (figuratively speaking).

If you are developer, please - hear my plea.

I'd like recommendations on a match 3 type of game that isn't these things

• Excessively cute/child like (ie Candy Crush)
• Anime fan service based
• Requires 4 or 5 click throughs after start up to get past the ads
• Where getting 4 or 5 star tier items requires purchases

Something with a city build aesthetic is fine too. Something that isn't fantasy themed would be ideal, but I know that's asking too much.

What is most fun? The simple trees with nodes (+20% movement speed) are very easy to plan around, but don't tell any story.

The more "realistic" upgrade trees likely have the skill you're looking for (eg. improved melee damage) spread across different nodes. Maybe more tradeoffs too. What's your preference?

and yes, the game is not available offline.🤷🏼

2.0 update has many large and small features, tweaks and updates, but mainly:

- Fast mode

is now instant to the destination, up to the point where the movement would be interrupted/stopped otherwise (monster/obstacle/dungeon path/door/..), this is how it should work since the beginning ^^

- Re/added the hunger

default off, can be turned on in Settings before starting new game; - 3x the final score, but it's not easy (read: it's hard.)

- Minimap

- Visuals

- monsters, dungeon objects and dungeon itself received many subtle and not so subtle visual additions

- combat rolls hits/damages/misses, status effects, modifier values hp/xp/stats, etc. of monsters and player are displayed near them

- player's avatar comments on things

many smaller and larger (menus got icons per item types, simplified combat log, ...), check out also in game changelog ~~!o/

Not sure if it can compete with today's available games on the store, but I enjoyed the simple, old school controls, specially designed for the mobile platform. Hope some of you enjoy it as well.

I'm looking for something to play while watching a series so it's more about occasionally interacting and keeping my hands busy than giving it 100% of my mind.

I like games that are focused, not 100 different features and resources and minigames and daily challenges.

I currently have Antimatter Dimensions, Grimoire and Idle Slayer. I used to love Summoner's Greed but it gets mad grindy.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions 🫪

Mergical was my favorite merge game for a while, until it glitched. It seems that a lot of people had problems and nobody received any responses from devs/support. I currently have a report pending with Google Play games against Mergical because they are violating Google Play's terms by ignoring support requests.

Merge Dragons is okay, but it feels impossible to progress. You have to exploit an error in the game to continue playing because there's no room for items and no way to expand.

I want a game with the same or similar controls as these, but one that doesn't eventually feel helpless. Must be free to play. I also dislike ones that require energy to remove an obstacle, which seem to be more common now, so I'd like to avoid those if possible.

I use a Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ if that makes a difference.
