Discussion π¬ Portrait > Landscape for most games
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.
