So here's the situation: I recently got myself a new phone, a Pixel 8. I tried to sell my old phone, a Pixel 7, to a second hand electronics shop, but they would only offer £15 for it since it had a crack on the camera lens (yep, that was the only problem it had). So I decided to take it back from the shop, keep it, and use it as a secondary device just for mobile gaming, since it's not something I really like doing on my primary device.
Problem is, a lot of what you see on the Play Store is either turd, or ports of already-existing PC/console games. There are a few interesting mobile exclusives I know of currently; for example, Threes!, a number tile sliding game and the precursor to 2048, and Ordia, a platformer where you must fling a tiny lifeform across a series of dots. However, I'm otherwise unfamilar with the genre, which is why I'm turning to the Newgrounds community for help!
Does anyone have any recommendations for interesting mobile games, preferably ones without ads/in-app purchases (although I can be flexible)? I've largely avoided the genre until now, and even though there's a lot of crap, I'm confident that beneath all that there are buried some absolute gems.
