What games do you play on your phone? (discuss.online)

Hey! I looked around a bit and the last thread like this I found was several months ago, so I thought I'd make a new one. As per the title, what game do you play on your phone? I'm both looking for new ones myself by also hope others might find some of interest to them.

For my own part of this I mostly like puzzle games, especially these:

Hook, Klocki, NABOKI etc. from Rainbow Trains games

Monument Valley games from ustwo games

The Room series from Fireproof games

I Love Hue duology from Zut!

And all the games from Legenbeary games (very addicted to Wordathlon, currently at level 3253)

(all playstore links)

Would love recommendations of any lesser-known similar ones! But post anything you like of course. :)

Hope anyone finds something they like from my list above or recommend by others in comments (if there are any, heh).

Cheers!

Lexica

Simon Tatham's Puzzles

That's pretty alarming that Legenbeary Games collects location and personal info. I would avoid such a developer.

Damn, I was gonna write a whole thing about that and say FOSS etc. games are especially appreciated. Sorry!

I use a couple of things to stop stuff like that, haven't found anything that works perfectly for everything but the most used ones I've had (to my knowledge) success with:

Adguard to block any Internet connection to an app. (Adguard website link)

Warden (gitlab link, latest release was 3 years ago but it still works for some apps)

Permission Manager X (f-droid link)

I'll update the post tomorrow with the part I meant to add! Just took my sleeping pills so it's goodbye working brain till then.

Again, sorry! I had this in mind from the start, just got so focused on getting links and formatting... No excuse, my bad.

It's fine. I use NetGuard myself. The bigger issue is with apps that require a connection to run.
