The few times I have tried a more impressive game on my phone, my overriding thought is 'why am I not playing this on my PC?'. Phone controls, screen size, and processing power suck, so all but the simplest games meant to hold your attention while you are waiting at a doctor's office don't optimally work there. And for a doctor's office lobby, I want something I can have fun within seconds of starting and feel satisfied with only minutes of play.

I used to love playing Infinity Blade back in the day, but it was another time and they were games built from the ground up for touch screens so it’s not really comparable

also the fights in that game only took a few minutes. definitely something you could pick up and drop while in a waiting room as the person above said.
