Hey! I looked around a bit and the last thread like this I found was several months ago, so I thought I’d make a new one. As per the title, what game do you play on your phone? I’m both looking for new ones myself by also hope others might find some of interest to them.
For my own part of this I mostly like puzzle games, especially these:
Hook, Klocki, NABOKI etc. from Rainbow Trains games
Monument Valley games from ustwo games
The Room series from Fireproof games
I Love Hue duology from Zut!
And all the games from Legenbeary games (very addicted to Wordathlon, currently at level 3253)
(all playstore links)
Would love recommendations of any lesser-known similar ones! But post anything you like of course. :)
Hope anyone finds something they like from my list above or recommend by others in comments (if there are any, heh).
Cheers!

Currently it’s Theotown, which is basically SimCity but with very fair monetization and it has plugins.
It seems like you like puzzle games, so I would suggest Pic-a-Pix, Trees and Tents, and Hashi.
Shattered pixel dungeon. So fucking addictive and good
Yeah! Played that a lot a couple of years ago, and some of the variations. Ever tried Caves (roguelike)? Similar in a lot of ways but I like the design more.
I was trying to send you down a rabbit hole and you just pulled the ‘no u’ card.
Thanks

Anything I can play with a controller on my PC, because I can stream Steam games to my phone from my PC over the Internet and I have a thing to hold my phone with a Bluetooth controller.
What do you use to stream games?
The SteamLink app.
I never thought of using it over the internet. I guess it must be working somewhat well. Nice and thanks!
Thought I’d chime in and also recommend GeForce Now and Shadow for cloud streaming on your phone, both work well for specific games. Nothing that needs super quick response times and frame-perfect inputs, but more games than I would have guessed work great!
I’ve wanted to get a holder to join my phone and controller, but I haven’t found one that works with any of the controllers I have :/ I’m a sucker for buttons on the underside of controllers and the “official” ones available (xbox elite and dualsense edge) are way too expensive… And those are the only ones that I find phone attachment thingys for. I have a Gulikit KK3 and it’s an absolutely amazing controller, only two small negatives are the lack of the above-mentioned and a headphone jack. Otherwise, it’s easily the best normal style controller I’ve ever used (I have a deep love for the original steam controller, but mine died a while ago and it has some glaring issues that barely make up for all the greatness).
I don’t really play games but I do have Antimine that I use occasionally.
Every single color made by Barte Bonte. I’m really hyped for Purple to come out.
Start with Green
I get down with some minesweeper too, every now and then
Oh yeah, been deep into minesweeper a couple of times through the years. Specifically love Minesweeper - The Clean One. Very well designed both in UI and UX.
Oooh, I’ve tried those games, think I finished the first two but just forgot about them. Thanks for the reminder! Definitely picking up the rest.
Mini Metro
Mario Run
Vampire Survivors
Card Crawl
Card Thief
Final Fantasy Tactics
Professor Layton
Miracle Merchant
Game Dev Story
Game Dev Tycoon
Motorsport Manager Mobile
Landrule
Reigns
Wingspan
10000000Clash Royale mostly and sometimes the Alto’s series
Anyone remember Burrito Bison? Must be the last game I played on my phone and that was years ago. Many years.
Typically I don’t, but in the past Duet was great, except I finished the game.
Auralux and SwordandGlory are the only two I ever open these days.
i’ve severely pruned my games list over the years. the ones which still survive are simon tatham’s puzzles, lichess, forkyz (from f-droid), chess pro, 6 takes, pudding monsters hd, unblock me premium.
that last one, quite appropriately, is played during the morning loo session.
Nothing particularly unique - Stardew Valley, Minecraft: Java Edition, Minetest, Hill Climb Racing, Vector Pinball, Geometry Dash, Cookie Clicker, Crash Bandicoot through Lemuroid, 2048
Geometry dash is special, I remember playing it in its first years back in 2013-2015. It was cool then but never super popular, but man have they worked on it and made one of the coolest and most powerful level editors ever. Haven’t played it myself since back then but my younger half-brother and all his friends are crazy about it, and I keep up to date with the unbelievable levels people make. And the frame perfect world records.
Super auto pets.
Bloons TD6 and Peglin
A few from memory that are puzzle type:
Phoenix wright series
Danganronpa series
Professor Layton series
Rusty lake series
Ghost trick
Maybe I’m weird but I don’t. I miss those days of genuine well crafted smartphone games you bought once and played.
I bought the games I played but I guess a few bucks was too much for most people. It’s just not worth shoveling through garbage to find a few gems when I could spend my time doing anything else. My iPod touch was my DS back in the day.
