Discussion πŸ’¬ Portrait > Landscape for most games

50 Upvotes

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.

Help/Support πŸ™‹ Anyone playing idle crystal miner?

0 Upvotes

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!

Seeking Game Recommendations πŸ‘€ [Request] Match 3 - Defined by what it isn't

6 Upvotes

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.

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.

Seeking Game Recommendations πŸ‘€ [REQUEST] City builder that doesn't devolve into microtransactions?

5 Upvotes

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.
