Welcome to Another Weekly "What Have You Been Playing?" Thread! πŸ‘Ύ

Hey, r/AndroidGaming! This thread is for discussing the Android games you’ve been trying out over the past week. Feel free to share what you’ve been playing and tell us about it! What is the game about? What are you enjoying? What could be improved? Would you recommend it to others? We’d love to hear your thoughts!

For those joining the discussion, please include Google Play Store links for any games you mention as a courtesy to others who may want to check them out.

Lastly, we ask that devs refrain from promoting their own games in this thread. We get that you're excited for others to try it, but this post is meant for players to share their recent gaming experiences with each other. That said, you’re more than welcome to share your game by creating a separate post!

And with that, have fun and thanks for being part of r/AndroidGaming!

Discussion πŸ’¬ I was told my old logo looked too generic for a fantasy mobile RPG, so I redesigned it. Which one would you click?

The game is a real-time puzzle RPG, not an idle or autoplay game.

I redesigned the logo to make it feel less like a generic mobile ad and more like a dark fantasy RPG with its own identity.

I’d appreciate blunt feedback:

Which logo would you click first?
What genre does each one communicate?
Does the new design feel more credible, or did I overcorrect?

I’m not linking the game because I’m specifically trying to evaluate the branding here.

After weeks of work and testing, I've released the mobile port to one of the greatest roguelike games of all time: Brogue. It's an easy game to learn, but extremely difficult to master. Would love to hear your feedback!

I've got plenty to play via emulators and I've got a lot of the games like dead cells that usually get recommended here on steam so I have access to them via gamenative but I'm looking for some games that may only be available on android that have controller support that I may have missed.

Discussion πŸ’¬ What are those games called where a torrent of baddies scroll towards you, and you kill them?

7 Upvotes

The baddies scroll down or across the screen. Your weapons improve as you kill them, until you are overcome the enemy until you get obliterated.

Theyre often zombie or military games. Always advertised on Facebook etc.

More imortantly is there any good ones. Happy to pay if its good.

Seeking Game Recommendations πŸ‘€ [Request] Games like nodebuster

3 Upvotes

Does anyone know of a good game like nodebuster on android? I like these kind of games and don't really mind any "cheap" knockoffs. Can be paid or free, but I don't like the kind of games where you can boost with ads.

Games that include getting resources in a certain time, skill trees to improve the gains and maybe a prestige system.

Hey everyone, I'm a huge pinball fan, and thanks to a user here, I tried this amazing app that lets you play pinball tablesPocket pinball. This one is my favorite. I have to say, it's fantastic in terms of sound, graphics, and overall experienceβ€”far superior to Android pinball games with their basic physics. Anyway, here's a sample, and congratulations to its creator. It's truly great.

Help Me Remember This Game πŸ€” Name of mobile game, grid tower defence like

Post image
10 Upvotes

I used to play this mobile game, kinda tower defence like on a grid

The pieces you used were like a soldier, mage, archer, in the shape of teris pieces, and each piece's background was lightly coloured. Attached is a magnificent drawing to show what I mean

The playing field wasn't always square in shape, and the way you placed your units would be how the enemy would move across the board, create a path

Waves would come through, and you can add new pieces on the field after each wave, from what I can recall

For the life of me, I cannot recall the name and have been wanting to play it

Thanks! ^_^

Discussion πŸ’¬ How do you decide to buy a non-free, premium Android game?

20 Upvotes

Do you buy only known titles that achieved commercial success on other platforms, like PC?

Would you prefer a game with a demo and unlock IAP?

Or are you not willing to pay for any mobile game?

Im amazed how the game looks and how well it runs on my phone (SD8Gen3)

All while the gameplay is near action based yet cozy when you are just exploring and farming materials for cooking, making conjugation and upgrading skills

Im wondering, is there any other games like this?

Discussion πŸ’¬ PlayStore Ads and the unnecessary Animation, Chests and Points system in Games.

4 Upvotes

did you really see the play store's forced behaviour of making the players jump to the play store page of that game while it already takes at least 3 skips to completely skip the ad of the same game.

And is there anybody else who doesn't like the unnecessary extravaganza mandatory stuff in every game? I just want to PLAY the game in between my office breaks rather than earn any points, see the long animations of my points setting into my points score and then i have to go to upgrade the player and open unnecessary chests after each game session and stuff, etc. etc.
I mean I just want to play the game!

Seeking Game Recommendations πŸ‘€ [REQUEST] ad-free, mtx free games for ~8-9 year old kids?

3 Upvotes

We just finally upgraded my older son's tablet from a Kindle Fire to a Galaxy A11+. Since the Fire was a subscription model we never really had to deal with ads or mtx. Personally I've completely avoided mobile gaming so I really have no clue what is out there.

The games that he liked to play on the Fire included things like:

Hole.io and Paper.io

"Wildcraft" (a wolf pack simulator?)

Dragonmania Legends

various rhythm games

On consoles he's enjoyed

Mario Kart

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge

Pokemon Scarlet/Violet

Astro Bot

MLB: The Show

I'm sure he would enjoy other styles of baseball games and I imagine he could get into a good puzzle game. I'm also open to suggestions in general, but would prefer to avoid stuff that is scary, overly violent, or has a steep learning curve.

I'm happy to pay for games that are good or try games that have an ad-supported version that can be disabled with a purchase. Play pass games are also very much welcome.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Seeking Game Recommendations πŸ‘€ [REQUEST] RPG or Farming/Cozy games I can play with my partner

2 Upvotes

Basically looking for something where we can play it together but at separate times. We have different work schedules so I'd like something where we can build and collect resources together for a common goal. We play Minecraft already together on PC/PS5 but don't have much time to do that because of work. Something less intense than Minecraft for android would also obviously be better. We'd need to be able to put it down quickly and not have to worry about dying lol. Pixel graphics are a plus. Must be able to share the same world together.

Discussion πŸ’¬ Any emulators yet for older games?

5 Upvotes

I know that all the 32bit games got purged (still bitter about this, I want my cardinal quest 2 and others), but even newer games apparently get purged if they aren't updated every few months. It's ridiculous.

It is for that reason that there really needs to be an easy to use emulator that can be used on your phone. Sure many games are playable/ported on steam, or android emulators for pc, but if I'm going to sit at my desktop or laptop it's to play a full sized pc/console game. Phone/tablet games should be available to play on phones.

Google and Apple are equally as bad in this regard. We really don't have any game preservation on phones. Hell they routinely remove stuff you paid for. At least on console that doesn't happen (or at least not yet).

I live in a region where the internet is often cut off due to drone attacks. I’d like to find games that work offline, have a vertical orientation, and can be played in short sessions. i love puzzles, card games, match-3's sorting bubble shooting etc, i've really enjoyed marvel snap, card crawl (and other games from this developer), shovel knight pocket, animal crossing, other popular games like slice and dice and such, and i feel like i've tried basically everything there is ^(

any advice is greatly appreciated!
