I need some new games in my phone. I checked out the recommendations in the google play store just to realise, that they all suck. So I’m asking you, what are some lightweight(my phone is really slow so anything not lightweight will either take 40 years to load or outright crash every few minutes) fun mobile games you can recommend.
I have a Pixel 4a and it heats up a little playing Balatro, but all of the below it has no issues with:
Flipflop - a fun take on solitaire
Downwell - a vertical platformer
Holedown - an inverse breakout, minus the paddle
Desert Golf - a true indie classic!
Radiant - a Galaga/Space Invaders-ish shmup that’s old enough to probably be lightweight these days.
anything by Kairosoft - a developer of sim management games I’ve been playing games from since I had a flip phone. Just find a theme you like and go crazy.
NYT games - They have more than Wordle! Connections, a word grouping game, in particular is fun, and so is Strands a themed word search. They’re all updated daily for free on one app. They just lock off previous days’ puzzles and the crossword. (Though they have a small quick crossword that’s also fun.) It’s actually discounted right now for an actual subscription
Reigns - I found this very fun. It’s not for everyone. It uses Tinder’s swiping to let you make decisions and try to run your kingdom. Good luck.
Prune - a puzzle that that relies on pruning your growing plant to reach the goal
80 Days - a narrative game with a decent amount of reading, as you attempt to buy, sell, and barter your way through your adventure.
Crossy Road - Frogger-inspired game with more maps and more fun.
Plague Inc - also a classic. Control a disease as you attempt to infect and destroy humanity. (This was popular before COVID.)
Burrito Bison - time your taps to launch your lucha libre across the map.
Super Mario Run - just simple enough to make you mess up sometimes. But it’s not bad. I liked it.
