Title: mobile gaming?
Post by: michaelbaysuperfan616 on November 12, 2015, 11:28:38 AM
I see there is a forum for Nintendo handheld gaming, and General gaming, but didn't see one for mobile gaming. Is there a thread or sub forum for that or is this the place? I know there are gaming snobs who look down on mobile gaming but it has its place I think.
I would like to start a thread for people to discover good mobile games, I have an iPhone 3GS that I recently disconnected from service and will be turning into an iPod touch so to speak and would love to use it for gaming. I also have a Lumia 435 that has Windwos 8.1 (should get 10 soon as its available) and am interested in mobile games for either platform.
If anyone has suggestions, recommendations, games to avoid, things of that sort, would be most helpful.
Currently I have 1 game on iPhone, its Sonic 4 episode 1 and I had a few games on my ipad before the school took it away from me, but I honestly never considered mobile gaming until I realized I now had a spare device I could use.

General Gaming is for discussion of gaming on platforms other than Nintendo's, so you put this in the right place.

Admittedly I gave up on phone gaming years ago based on my experiences. I played lemonade tycoon a lot, and obviously angry bird & words with friends, but i'd be interested to see others experiences & recommendations.

I have never played a mobile game I could recommend in good faith.

I liked Oceanhorn, but at the same time that might as well been a 3DS game as I used a controller for it.

I usually browse the web on my phone or read a kindle book vs playing a game.

I knew that the general consensus around here was anti mobile, makes since 3DS and all that, but I was just curious if there were any decent games on Windows Phone or iOS that I could look into. Just trying to get some extra usage out of these two devices.

I can only talk about games that i played elsewhere and i know they have mobile versions:
The Room -- cool looking puzzle game. There are three of them already, i only played first because it's the only one on PC. Ace Attorney Trilogy and Ace Attorney 6 -- are on mobile and are easy recommendations, unless you're some kind of purist. I think first chapters are free to play on these versions and then you buy the rest of them. Super Hexagon is on mobile -- arcade style game when you have to avoid walls by rotating a little triangle around. Check free flash version (http://terrycavanaghgames.com/hexagon/) to see if you're up for it Jelly no Puzzle (http://qrostar.skr.jp/index.cgi?page=jelly&lang=en) has android version. The best designed and hardest puzzle game i played. Again, you can check out free PC or web version (http://martine.github.io/jelly/) to check if you're up for it. Super Crate Box (http://www.supercratebox.com/) is on PC and iOS. Again, it's freeware on PC (even has Steam version). Desktop Dungeons (http://www.desktopdungeons.net/) -- brilliantly designed "rougelike" game (comes from way, WAY before that term got stained by flood of too similar games) has iOS and Android versions as well.
There are few more i am forgetting -- particularly one flash game where you control a knight that can only go left or right...

I keep up with this NeoGAF topic on good iOS games.
I browse the web on my phone and i play mobile game as like as Oceanhorn , 3DS. I love lot of playing mobile game.
I need to get back to Oceanhorn! The problem with these inexpensive mobile games is that my backlog grows even more! Can't complain about having too many games to play, as that's a problem I don't mind! :)

I would say join the club man, but from what I can tell I think it is safe to say we are all in the same boat.

I've been out of the mobile gaming scene for a long time now, but over the past week or so I've been completely hooked on a game called Star Trek: Wrath of Gems. It's basically a straight aping of the Puzzle Quest formula, which I've been a fan of for a long time, with a Star Trek skin on top of it. It is free to play with microtransactions, but so far it feels balanced well enough to play it without spending real money.
