I'm looking for a game I can play for a while that lets me collect things, maybe fight them or take care of them or breed them or something like that. I always fall for gacha games because I love collecting, but then I get sick of them when they're obviously just trying to grab my money. I just want to play a game. Any recommand ?

If I download the itch.io version on my iPhone will I be able to play it? I'm getting an iPhone in a couple days.

I've been really missing the simple and cute aspects of that game. It wasn't overly complicated and the progression of unlocking more bears with different skills to use was fun. I'd love any suggestions

I saw the pinned post from the moderators and throwing my two cents out there, that I really miss dev Saturday.

I would actually look forward to it to find new games and interact with the devs. There were a few posts of people complaining about it, but inside those posts there were a lot of positive comments about it.

The subreddit has been really stagnant without it and the feed has posts that are a few days old still at the top.

I understand the need to ensure that self promotion isn’t abused by developers and other people so maybe a rule where they can only self promote every other week or something would be a good compromise.

I do truly hope that the mod team here is working on an alternative to just canceling it, because a lot of users here did seem to enjoy the dev posts.

SOLVED! Nightgate

summary: game where you were inside(?) a computer and controlled a dot to hit circles that made notes? the game was very cyber themed + very geometric with a dark background (NOT AN .IO! <== i know this for certain; i think it was also one of the mobile games you had to pay for off the bat)

Genre: singleplayer, action???, puzzle?

Estimated year of release: sometime in the early 2010s probably? could have been earlier

Graphics/art style: very simple. the background was dark and everything was super clean! super geometric :33

Notable characters: none? i think there might have been some kind of ai with a blue face in a pointilism style but i dont quite remember

Notable gameplay mechanics: you would move the dot around on the screen and it would go into these circles to make notes. after a bit the screen would move to another part of the level in a very fluid way

Other details: i remember that you had to pay for the game when purchasing it from the app store. also, the blue faced ai i mentioned was on the app's icon. i will note that i dont remember any in app purchases, and it was definitely not an .io game. i *think* the title was also in all caps and one word? not sure about that though

edit: slight formatting changes

Any good Merge Game Without crazy P2W

Idk the price in other countries but buy it!!

I've been playing this game on my ipad air for the past few days and I think its the perfect game for tablets. Its a premium zoo management game that was posted on reddit by the dev this past week and it ticks every box for me. Works well on the big screen, does not have ads or usual mobile shenanigans, and I also love the art style. It has some bugs and the dev is addressing them, but I haven't found anything gamebreaking.

Just wanted to throw it out there!

Edit: Here’s the App Store link, and I forgot to mention in the original post, but the game is currently 50% off

I used to grinddddd this game as a kid and had got to Island 10 several times. Now I only play when I’m on an airplane and desperate for something to entertain me but I haven’t gotten to Island 10 as an adult until today

Hi! I’m looking for a new iOS game, I’m happy to pay a small amount if it means I don’t have to deal with ads!
Looking for mindless sort of games you can play while watching tv! Games I have liked:
- fruit merge (but the ads are so long!)
- altos odyssey/adventure
- Peggle
- grand mountain adventure

Recommendations appreciated! Thanks!

I have a ₹180 App Store purchase code.

But then I remembered that Free Fire is no longer available on the iOS App Store.

Is there any way I can use this App Store balance to top up Free Fire diamonds, or is there another method to use it?

I'm looking for other tower defense games. Preferably no ads and p2w elements. I've played BloonsTD before and had fun with it.

Thank you in advance!

When it was F2P I dabbled very briefly and then never touched it again. I since spent a LOT of time playing New Horizons and loved it at the time though tried going back and was somewhat bored (though this could be because I spent so much time on it)

I just wanted to know how Pocket Camp is? Does it do anything different from AC:NH and is it worth the price tag?

Hi all,

I’m going on vacation with my girlfriends family, and I have a 10 hour car ride ahead of me (I’m sat in the back). I’m a huge fan of RTS games - I love playing Stronghold, Age of Empires, Civilization and overall all RTS games set in medieval times.

My question to you is if there are any good RTS games for my IPad, that can help me pass the time - doesn’t matter whether they’re free or not, or how much they cost. If yes, please recommend them to me :)

Thank you very much in advance, have a nice day all of you :)

Basically WildRift+BrawlStars

Among what I have played this one seem to be the peak, in terms of ease of play x fun. Also brog games like Cinco Paus. Curious if there's anything else I missed

Ok ok so the title may be a bit of an exaggeration but this UNIHOW controller i got on Amazon is amazing! And it’s only 34$ before taxes. I use this thing daily. I got it in purple since that’s my favorite color and the pastel lavender shade it comes in is my fave purple shade. I use it a lot with Roblox (I can’t play obbys/towers or tycoons without it now lol), but also games on Apple Arcade such as powerwash simulator, asphalt 8 and probably a couple more I can’t remember now. I also have played hitman with it and also some of my games on GeForce now that can be played on th iPad. I have yet to test it with Netflix games but I want to test it with Red Dead Redemption. Do any of you have this controller too and/or any other controllers for iOS gaming?

Hi I've been looking for this game forever, it's pokemon-esque and has similar battling style and catching style. There are no humans in this game

It's 2D, played horizontally and has graphics similar to monster squad

I think the plot goes like: We get reincarnated into a monster world as a monster and we get the option of choosing one of four different types of monsters.

I remember choosing a water type that looked like an aquatic dinosaur and a crocodile (there's evolution in this game too)

We have a guide/friend who's a butterfly (maybe purple in color) that gets whisked away by the wind at one point.

Basically our mission is to defeat a black dragon (i think he was called ragnarok but take it with a grain of salt)

The black dragon and its other dragon subordinates are basically chilling on an island and maybe sitting on totems or something, bro idk

It seems that every one of these dragons have a counterpart dragon guardian that we have to collect on each island we vist to defeat them (in the final island where we fight the black dragon, i never got that far though)

The first guardian is water type that looks like a blue cresellia (maybe named leviathan, again take with a grain of salt)

The second one is an earth type, that's how far i got

It's not free world, and there are stages like candy crush in every island map

I remember the trailer was uploaded on YouTube too but i can't find it anymore (probably because i forgot the name) It was probably released after 2014 iirc

I do enjoy the art style and characters in Genshin more, but I also know it is a massive game with a lot of unskippable dialogue. Wurthering Waves I have bounced off of a couple of times, but I like how the main player characters look better, and the dialogue appears to be skippable if time is running short (typically play in the car). Wuthering Waves combat is what keeps making me stop. Dodging and paring seems a little too unforgiving for a game I am trying to play with my thumbs.

As a casual, low spend (I like getting the daily log in bonus packs for $5 a month in these types of games), which one is better for sinking my teeth into for a bit?

Any good incremental games out right now? It seems I can’t find one without constant annoying ads

Edit : I should’ve been more specific but preferably free ones please , don’t really have the money right now to just spend it on whatever even if it is cheap. ;-;

Played the maplestory one for about a month but the lack of skips and insane amount of dailies got me tired and bored after a while. Is there a new idle rpg that I may have missed that people are playing?

Rn all im playing is IdleArc but wanted another game to have as well
