The Infinity Blade or Minigore series, for example, or anything made by Illusion Labs. These games are genius and most consoles don't even have a touch screen or utilise it well like some smartphone games do.

Also why do people look at me weirdly ๐Ÿ‘€ when I play games on my phone in public while waiting for something?

Problem for me is phones are uncomfortable to use for gaming in so many ways. My hands aren't even that big, and my thumbs cover a lot of the screen. Then phones get hot when using them a lot. Not to mention staring that long at a mobile screen makes my eyes feel like raisins. Plus it's really shit posture to sit with your neck bent at a 90ยฐ angle looking straight down into your lap. None of these are very enjoyable for a gaming experience.

I won't even talk about the crazy predatory nature of most phone games being aggressive dopamine hijackers, cause that's covered in the thread already, but that too.
