Sonic runners revival!
It’s the full original Sonic Runners game that was discontinued by SEGA, but dedicated fans have revived it via reverse engineering the backend server responses and patching the app to point to their servers to keep the app running.Even though it’s “just” a mobile game, it’s surprisingly high quality, has a full blown story mode and even the multiplayer features still work!

brotato and vampire survivors
These are the games I have installed
Out of all of these if I weren’t always at home and had a controller with me it’s vampire survivor and dead cells. No controller, reigns.
how is baldur’s gate on a touch screen?
Shattered Pixel Dungeon
I did play Shattered pixel dungeon, then I tried the original pixel dungeon, and now, after finishing echo pixel dungeon, I’m going to try out remixed dungeon, summoning pixel dungeon, and serenity PD. IMO they’re all great, it’s just that pixel dungeon is the original and the rest are forks (better than knockoffs in the proprietary world)
I find mobile games to be a crapshoot, and I’ve only ever found a select few hidden gems that are exceptions:
- Armory & Machine, an incremental game. Avoid the sequel.
- Underhand, a card game good enough for people who don’t like card games.
Play store does not allow me to download it on android 13 :( says it’s too new
Same for me. Play Store won’t let me get them for my Android 13, Pixel 7.
?? they both work for me on android 13
But was your phone on Android 13 when you first installed them?
I like playing Monument Valley. The twists are fun!
- Monument Valley 2 [paid] - amazing for relaxing
- Standoff 2 - just a shooter game that doesn’t force all of the cases and levels and upgrading. It has those features, but I just open the game and start the match.
- Falling Lightblocks - best Tetris clone.
- Antimine - Minesweeper with ton of themes and settings. It’s FOSS but the Google Play version has ads, download from F-Droid.
- Flowit (F-Droid ,GPlay) - simple FOSS game that melts my brain after first few levels.
- Despotism 3k [paid] - great game. It’s pretty hard. Very funny too.
- Mindustry (F-Droid, GPlay) - My brain is too small to understand this game. But it’s fun.
Mindustry is a completely different (and much less frustrating) game on steam, for what it’s worth. Mostly due to the fact mouse+keyboard is MUCH more intuitive than touch controls. Also fun fact, as long as you’re running the same version, you can port your save game between your phone and your pc.
My go-tos at the moment are:
- Oldschool Runescape - wooooooooo
- Danmaku Death - old, free, no in-app purchases or ads bullet hell game from 2014, but it’s delisted from the play store…
Other games I’ve enjoyed
- Super Auto Pets. Base game is free with no ads, but there are cosmetics and expansion packs.
- Pixel Dungeon and its variants. Free roguelike with no ads and no in app purchases.
- Magikarp Jump. Fun little incremental game where you make magikarp jump. Has in-app purchases.
I remember the magic I experienced the first time I played RS back in 2007. The game was mind opening. Although I only had a free account, but nevertheless had a blast getting my first Adam and Rune full gear.
How is OSRS for you now? What are you enjoying the most. I wonder if I will get the spark back if I try it or if I’ll be overwhelmed of the options of things to do
Vampire Survivors!
Chess.com and Lichess
Egg, Inc. - simple game, feels like the olden days but it’s also entirely modernised. Just recieved a tonne of qol enhancements.
If you are a regular player and got far enough to need a co-op, and play well. Hit me up!
Dude I just checked this out, it seems super fun. Downloaded.
Good recommendation. I’ve been hatching imaginary chickens for 2 hours now. 😆
Genshin Impact, Punishing: Gray Raven and Streets of Rage 4 (non-gacha)
Thankfully that’s as far as I’ll go into gacha nation (until the release of Wuthering Waves, at least). I’m good at controlling my wallet and not thirsting over every character.
Genshin Impact is slowly taking over my life. I’m still F2P but I’ve come close to pulling out my credit card.
It’s good to take your time to evaluate the characters. I follow leaks and some content makers (mainly theory crafters) for this reason. Sometimes the character is super strong but plays like crap for your tastes, sometimes they seem fun but are garbage for harder content, so it’s good to have people give you some information that you can then evaluate.
I was about to pull everything (and saved A LOT) for Dehya before I knew about her kit, for example. Thankfully I knew about it before wasting the chance of getting Hu Tao + Staff of Homa + Aqua Simulacra. Best decision ever for my account, as I like playing both Hu Tao and Yelan.
Oh yea I’ve definitely been reading all the character guides before deciding. Typically I’ll get characters on their rerun so I can see which ones are recommended after people have had them for a while. I need to start pulling for the weapons now that I’ve got some well rounded teams.
That’s a really solid way to pull. Good luck on your future pulls! ✨
Star Wars KOTOR and just started Elder Scrolls Morrowind via OpenMW. And if I don’t have much time I play PokeMMO
Space cadet pinball is the only game
Super Auto Pets is really fun and laid back. Its very strategic and pretty mechanically deep, but you battle against teams that have been pre-recorded from other players, so you can close the game at any time and rejoin whenever you have downtime. Imo it’s the best parts of PVP and single player combined.
I think half of my Lemmy posts are talking about SAP. It’s such a good autobattler. Just boiled the genre down to the key components
Downloaded! I’ve never heard of it.
