It is really hard to find good mobile games.
Most games are just blatant pay to win fronts. I especially despise those "idle whatever" style games where you wait for your 'money' to rake up. Boring stuff.
With smartphones getting more and more powerful, I miss sophisticated games on it. And I am not talking Skyrim here. Even most stuff we could play on Newgrounds 15 years ago blows most of the shit in the store out of the water.
There is just not a big enough market for it, it seems.
I call those idle games battery killer sims. You do nothing on the game, it has no merit whatsoever.
Leaving those games open, especially during the summer, degrades your battery so much.
