There's a Console Thread, a PC Thread, but where does the lowly browser gamer get a fix? This is where. Also, mobile games.

Discuss iPhone, Android, Flash, HTML5, Unity, etc. games here.

Bizarrely Addictive Minimalist Incremental/idle Game

It's basically just status bars and numbers:

Oddly, it has a devoted fanbase for whom it is Serious Business (TM): there are some very involved and math-y discussions regarding optimal strategies, eg. http://www.reddit.com/r/swarmsim/comments/30furo/formula_a_proposed_tierup_rule/, http://www.reddit.com/r/swarmsim/comments/2xkksf/faq_please_read_this_before_posting/, http://www.reddit.com/r/swarmsim/comments/2zz7pe/clone_vs_rush_vs_swarp_comparison_with_numbers/, etc.

Dunno if this has been mentioned? I was watching the burd play it recently and it looks absolutely lovely as a mobile game, great use of simple graphics and engaging (if easy?) puzzle gameplay:

Yeah that's an awesome game, good for non-gamers as well, my mom loved it.

#106 posted by JneeraZ on 2015/07/12 16:41:10

My wife and I both loved it. Non stressful gameplay, fun graphical style, not too annoying puzzles...

Agar.io is now available for iPhone, wooooooo

Bought it, played it. Not enough exploration of mechanics for me. My daughter liked it for a while.

And it's sucked me back in now. Even my grim Quaker soul can find the charm in this.

Nothing to contribute :( but I'm burning out on all my current mobile stuff and hoping someone has a recommendation

Angry Birds 2. Seriously, it's a solid time filler!

It feels like they sacrificed the gameplay somewhat. Like I dumped on it in the other thread - the debris disintegrates too fast when you knock stuff over so you can't cause much knock on collapse effects.

Ultimately it left the game a bit too shallow to hold my attention - which is a shame because I enjoyed the earlier ones a lot. Especially Star Wars and Space with the addition of the gravity mechanics.

The immediacy and feedback is very well done in this version though, the picture in picture of the birds and pigs is great and the stuff flying out of the screen is a nice touch.

Maybe I'll give it another go, but the change seems to be one of ideology - you hit the thing or you don't, without any of the 'you hit the thing in just the right spot so collapses onto the other thing.

That's still there, but much less.

Fallout Shelter - decent builder (disclaimer, we did it)
Lumosity - Interesting non-game about mind training
Out There - Frustrating interactive fiction with a bad interface... but worth a look
Tap Titans - generic clicker, but better production values than most and some neat ideas thrown in

Oh And

Candy Box 2.

Not sure how I missed this one back in the day (but still played A Dark Room). But I can confirm that it is the pinnacle of games design and all other games are mere vague shadows of its greatness.

Quake is off to one side a bit.
