I use cutlist optimizer to figure out the best way to cut plywood panels, this confused me, as it’s not a game. CuLTist is different than cuTList

Tetris. Pac-Man 256. Brick Breaker Quest. for Tetris at least you’ll want to make sure that you’ve got an adblock DNS set up because it’s full of ads otherwise

I’ve been playing half life using xash3D for this very reason. People are on multiplayer all the time, counter strike has players too. I’m really hoping to find people playing team fortress sometime.

Board game adaptations tend to be good. Everdell and bottom of the ninth for preference.

Slice & Dice is the best game I’ve ever gotten on my phone, I bought it over Thanksgiving in 2021 and haven’t stopped playing it since. It’s similar to deck builders, but dice based.

It’s $7 on mobile, but has a good free to try demo. So you can see if you like it for free. It’s also available on Steam and itch.io

The game is still in active development, but the dev only releases updates every 1-1.5 years. The updates are absolutely massive though and add a ton of content.

You Must Build a Boat and Triple Town are simple but excellent. Slay the Spire is incredible - can’t recommend it enough.

Swordigo is the single decent mobile game. Still, I didn’t expect to see it already mentioned. Neat!

I’m on iOS and actually pay for Apple Arcade. It’s been worth it. I don’t bother looking anywhere else for mobile games anymore.

My favorite is Time Surfer. The core mechanic is basically the same as Tiny Wings, but the theme, artwork, levels, etc are all very different. I especially enjoy the chiptunes!

If you like roguelike card builders, Dawncaster is great

xmunk ,

Dawncaster is excellent. I was amazed at how deep the game is for a mobile deck builder.

It also uses an expansion based monetization rather than micro transactions and the expansions absolutely aren’t necessary to get a lot of enjoyment out of the game.

GiantRobotTRex ,

I really liked Dawncaster but then I didn’t play it for awhile and when I came back it had changed significantly and all the builds that I used to win with consistently no longer worked out. Honestly it’s probably more balanced now than before but I haven’t spent enough time with it to get good again.

folkrav ,

Honestly I’m just bad at it so I rarely finish a run regardless. But it’s fun at least, and I bought the expansions mostly to encourage the business model.

TomSelleck ,

Vampire survivors is one of the best time killers. Slay The Spire is also fun.

GiantRobotTRex ,

I’d add Slice and Dice to that list

Knights of the old Republic has been on there for a while.

Emulators.

Slay the Spire.

saltesc ,

I don’t think I’ve mobile gamed without emulators for like 4 or 5 gens of phones now. I was a young man back in those days…

grandma OP ,

I’ve never bothered to set up an emulator on my phone but it’s a great idea, any recommendations in particular?

GameBoy Advance games work really well IMO, they’re designed for small screens and lengthening aspect ratios leave tons of space for virtual buttons.

sturlabragason ,

Advance Wars is awesome. I played it only on mobile 😅

bionicjoey ,

FF Tactics Advance is one I return to fairly often.

popcap200 ,

Basically anything really well rated should be fine!

Shattered Pixel Dungeon. If you like Roguelikes.

I hate this game so much. I played 3 times yesterday.

That’s OK, you can also play it if you hate Roguelikes.

I’ve only played it on PC but I like this quite a bit as well
