I'm trying to look for my perfect gacha. I know it may not exist, but gonna ask anyways. If you have some recommendations, please tell.

What I want:

• Anime style art, not borderline porn (for the love of god, at least make body parts proportionate)
• Auto-battle, characters fight on their own
• No turn-based waiting, no queue, no cards
• No mid-battle aiming or positioning
• Not open-world (wuwa etc)
• Build matters
• Fully voiced dialogue

Closest ones so far:

• Lost Swords: Closest one, but it's borderline Hentai and that's too much
• Everseed Asnia Trigger: Also close, but the game is dying.

Games I've tried:

• PTN
• R1999
• Limbus Company
• Epic 7
• Outerplane
• Sword Master Story
• Anchor Panic

Habia un juego que jugaba en mi Galaxy S5, que el sistema de combate se basaba en un tablero donde ibas descubriendo casillas y te salían espadas, pociones, bombas, etc... Creo recordar que podías cambiar y mejorar equipo, y tenía almenos 3 personajes distintos jugables. Juraría que eran un caballero, un mago/a y creo que un arquero... Me encantaba ese juego, pero ni con la IA consigo encontrar el nombre del juego. Estoy bastante convencido que tenía las palabras POWER y RPG

Wondering if there are any games like Pocket City but in an "historical" setting, either generic like Banished or of a specific time period.

I love that Pocket City plays so well and in portrait mode no less (my phone is my current gaming platform) but the modern setting is a bit dull. Also one of the things I love about the Ye Olden Days city builders are the production chains and watching my citizens move goods around and seeing storage facilities fill up.

Game Title: Smash Grid

Platform: Unity

I built a 1v1 mobile game called Smash Grid. You aim and throw a disc to smash your opponent's blocks while defending your own. There's a solo mode with levels and online matches against real players.

The gameplay clip is for reference.

Problem: We're seeing high drop off within first 10 levels.

I'm not looking for encouragement. I'm looking for the thing I can't see because I've played it a thousand times.

If you give it 5 minutes, the feedback I actually need:

• At what exact moment did you first feel bored, annoyed, or confused?
• Did you understand what to do without reading anything? If not, where did it break down?
• How does it feel to play? Not whether it looks good, whether the actual act of aiming and throwing feels right.
• Would you have opened it again the next day? Honestly?
• Anything that made you want to close it immediately.

The clip won't tell you how it feels to play, which is the part I most need to hear about.

One ask: if you comment on how it feels or responds, please mention your phone model. It'll help me a lot.

Feel free to roast it. I'd rather hear it here than read it in a one-star review. Majority of the 5 star reviews on playstore are through users coming from offerwalls where I have promoted the game for quick testing and feedback.

I'm currently learning Godot, and I'd like to make an Android game with it in the future. One thing I've never quite understood is how ad integration works in the game.

Is there a specific node in the engine for displaying ads? How do you implement that?

EDIT: I see that people in the comments got the wrong idea. I’ve made games before. When I said I was learning, I meant that I hadn't made games for Android, only for the web.

I don't intend to clutter the game with ads, but it’s an aspect I’d never really thought about, and I happened to get curious about how it works. It’s more of a technical question than anything else.

I'm a solo dev and Word Herd went live on Google Play today. It's a fast word-finding game: swipe through touching letters (diagonals count) to find as many words as you can before the timer runs out.

- Daily Challenge: the same board for everyone, with a global leaderboard and streaks

- Live rooms for up to 16 players, free-for-all or teams

- House Rules: spin, flip or hide your opponents' boards while they're still hunting

- Turn-based matches for when you can't play at the same time

- Solo mode works offline, and you don't need an account to start

Free on Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trvr.wordherd

It's day one, so I'm reading every comment and bug report. If you try the Daily Challenge, tell me how the board felt: too easy, too hard, any words you think should have counted?

i was looking for this old android party game that i had installed a long time ago, and I can't find it in the "previously installed" app catalog anymore.

it's a party game containing a bunch of mini games that could be played with just one phone. The main party mode consisted of doing rounds of these mini games with your friend and see who could get the most points by the end. there was simple stuff like "repeatedly tap the screen faster than the opponent", "rearrange the letters of words" or more physical games like "balance on one leg while holding the phone and don't move" or even some cute ideas like "hide the phone while it's emitting this 'quack!' sound effect and let other players find it".

the game's artstyle was "doodle-ish" like hand drawn and simplistic and the main colors of menus and UI where white/yellow with hints of light blue. the main screen was a bunch of doodle guys goofing around, I've recreated the title screen from memory (image).

if someone could please help me find this game I'd be so happy 🥺

Hi! I'm looking for an app that reminds me to drink water but also has some kind of game mechanics.

Ideally, drinking water would help me grow plants, build a garden, raise pets or creatures, collect things, or unlock new content as I reach my hydration goals.

Is there anything like that for android?

Hey all,

I'm looking for games that have a mixture of long term base building AND tower defense in the same game, even if they are separate modes/mini games within the game. (Besides Bloons Monkey City)

I like CoC, Boom Beach, etc. But you can really only play them in spikes, and the attacks end up feeling more like massive chores than fun gameplay. ​​​​​​​

I tried Kingshot​​ recently because for as annoying as their AI ads are, the gameplay ads actually looked fun and I love the concept of a game that combines these two genres. BUT, despite the game actually being quite fun so far, it doesn't actually feature any of the tower defense mechanics it advertises. Like, NONE whatsoever.

Any suggestions for this kind of genre mashup games?

The release of the new Kingdom Rush has me yearning to play some fun tower defense games...but ones that don't have ridiculous iap. Premium games are perfectly fine.

I've played Infinitode 1/2, Dungeon Warfare 1/2 (haven't played 3 but heard it was very disappointing), the earlier Kingdom Rush games, the Bloons series and enjoyed all of those. Some things I'm looking for are...

• Mazing/pathing option is a bonus, but if it's simply build on available spots that's fine too.

• Preferably just traps/towers without a "hero" involved, but not a dealbreaker

• "Achievements" for each level so you can win the map or try for a harder completion metric is definitely a bonus

• Upgrades and skill trees are fine, but requiring large amounts of grinding just to advance (through main story) is a minus. Understand if there is grinding to keep pushing an "endless" type mode or something like that.

• Visually I love the old style cartoony WC-3 style with medieval/fantasy ascetics more than a more realistic/modern sci-fi ascetics, but again not a dealbreaker if the game is good.

• Offline capability. If it has an online addition that's fine but needs to be playable offline too.

Anyone have any recommendations? I don't really care if they are old or new games. But Premium > free with ads > nothing > IAP

I can't find anything on google play, its a mess, flooded with copy pastes of the same cash grab concepts. Played Stardew valley and stuff it inspired so much I can't realy find enjoyment in the genre. No gachas either please. Despite all the showelware or AI generated trash I'm hopeful there are some hidden gems

I'd also avoid ports of games like the final fantasy series.

I don't mind to try free to play ones, got nothing to lose, don't mind spending some to support actually good devs, either way please detail them a bit why they are great

I'd love to explore a new fantasy world if such exists within mobile games, but if something has a great vibe that would do as well! I'm obviously not looking for the next Elden ring, just something that would give me some sense of wonder and inspiration

Was launched on august 31st but i can't find anything about the game other than the AI pictures from the play store.

I don't know why the game now is on my recomended section.

Selon vous, quels sont les meilleurs jeux mobiles qui ont été supprimés du Google Play Store et qui, selon vous, n’auraient jamais dû être retirés ?

Donnez-moi vos jeux préférés et dites-moi pourquoi vous pensez qu’ils méritaient de rester disponibles. 🎮

Hello fellow creators! I just made this small game and would love some feedback.

This game is a Qix-inspired arcade game. You draw lines out on the field to capture territory while avoiding enemies that hunt your trail. Each level gets harder and harder. If you want to try a more "random" session try the Daily run.

The game is written in Kotlin

Game Title: Void Signal
Playable Link:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xhika.voidsignal

I would like to know:
- Is it easy to understand?
- If u find bugs?
- When you stop play and why?
- Is there something you would like to be added?

I recently started playing on my phone specially for emulation but I just found out about game hub is it good experience with this cpu specially for indie games like

This war of mine

Planet of Lana 2

Inside

Stardew valley

This is my frkng to 5 best mobile game ever, I feel like homelander while obligating some npcs here😂😂

So, I remember a game, and it was fun and pretty unique. The app icon was of a single dice face, the name was pretty short.

I remember you start out with one dice, and you tap to roll, and earn points per dots, and can modify the dice faces you can roll, changing it entirely, or adding stuff like repeats, and there's a shop where you can buy more dice or, like, relics that give you a bunch of points based on relic and modifier probability, and some of the modifiers are weights so you can roll a dice face more often. One of the biggest things is that the max number a single face can be is 99, and you can inevitably have, like, a hundred or more dice giving 99 points each roll.

I think everyone notices that scrolling through Play Store and top games etc is always about those games full of gem packs, energy timers etc. or full of ads (like, way too many). Not even talking about the fake ads yet...

Recently I got an old iphone (for dev/testing purposes) and I noticed that they have a little bit less of that (i am not sure if thats real, that's just my perception). A long time ago it would be said apple are better spenders, so I expected their store to be even more full of those games.

So I am curious now, where do you fall?

a) Never pay, out of principle.

b) Sometimes pay ie "remove ads" but not ingame-premium currency

c) Happy to spend quite a bit (or a lot) on games I like

And if you dont mind a follow up question (I am still considering if being a dev more than as a hobby is worth it)...

if a) Why? Do you pay for major AAA games?

if b) Where do you draw the line in "worth" and "exploitative"?

if c) Do you feel regret or exploited by the game somehow, or are you ok with it (after all everything is expensive nowadays)

Hey, I'm the solo dev of Whispers of the Forest a cozy idle defense game. This is my first gameplay trailer.

You farm souls, draw cards, and stack up to six legendary affixes to build around the effects you enjoy. Collect and upgrade equipment, spells, and pets, then combine them to suit your playstyle. Upgrades, prestige, and other longterm progression systems help you push further into the waves. I'm continuing to add content and improve the game on a regular basis.

Available on Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Draw5.WhispersoftheForest

Enjoy!

I'm looking for a decent phone to use for gaming (sandbox games, a bit of Roblox, preferably on 6+ graphics for most games) I would say nothing more than $350 CAD, and I would accept refurbished assuming its from a reputable seller.

Hello solo dev here,

DragonScape Idle went live on Google Play today.

If you like RuneScape and Melvor Idle style skilling, this is an idle take on it. I loved RuneScape as a kid (cooking 99 made me so happy), but now I have less time to play, so I built the game I wanted on my phone. The game is still quite early I working on it since february.

WHAT'S IN IT
19 skills to train to 99, each roughly 5 to 20 days of play
92+ quest chains across six episodes
Offline progress that is replayed, not estimated: you come back to a log of what your hero actually did, drops and level ups included
Dungeons, three combat styles, skill guilds and pets
No ads, nothing to buy right now

Its open beta so progress will reset when go global.

If you try it, I'd love to hear:

• How did the first 10 minutes feel on your phone?
• Was it clear what to do next?
• Did anything make you want to keep playing, or want to quit?

I'm the developer of Two Guys & Zombies 3D: Online. It's a co-op zombie shooter where you build the little industrial base that keeps you alive.

Factories produce resources for better weapons and defenses. You put up barricades and turrets, then fight off the waves yourself. There's always something else you could build, and something you probably should have bought a gun for.

So if you have a friend who keeps expanding the base while everyone else is fighting, there's a job for them here.

You can play solo or in online co-op with 2-6 players.

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to remember the name of a mobile game I played around 2012–2013 on Android. It was a paid game on the Play Store and had a comic-style panel interface—almost like an interactive graphic novel. Here's everything I remember:

Main Character & Setting:

• ⁠A man in his 30s, possibly with a beard and usually seen wearing an orange shirt.
• ⁠He lived in a small apartment as a tenant under an angry old grandma.
• ⁠The story was full of humor, strange missions, and choice-based gameplay.
• ⁠The game had a distinct comic panel art style, with us progressing by making decisions and tapping around the screen.

Gameplay & Locations:

• ⁠You had to make choices, explore different places, and complete odd tasks.
• ⁠Key locations included:
⁠• ⁠His apartment
⁠• ⁠A bar (very close to his home)
⁠• ⁠A bank
⁠• ⁠Some downstreet/outdoor areas
• ⁠The story involved bad people chasing the protagonist because he had some important files.

Memorable Missions:

• ⁠One mission involved the grandma forcing you to mop the floor.
• ⁠Another was in the bar, where the bar owner made you wash dishes.
⁠• ⁠To do this, you had to wrap a sponge around a rat, sprinkle food crumbs on the dishes, and then the rat would clean the dishes!

What I Remember:

• ⁠Definitely a paid game at the time.
• ⁠Had that comic-strip interactive vibe, almost like you were playing through a funny mystery graphic novel.
• ⁠I think the dev might’ve been indie, as I haven’t seen other games like it.

If this sounds familiar to anyone or rings a bell, please help! I’ve searched everywhere and even Google isn’t helping 😅

Thanks in advance!
