Mobile games usually get a bad rep as they're usually asset flips and/or MTX-ridden and/or ad-filled, etc., and I'm sure this is actually the case for most games on the app/play store. But are there any ones that are actually good, maybe just something to pass the time with?

A dream of mine is to make good mobile games, no ads, just a single low purchase. Realistically it just wouldn't be economically viable at all unless there is a free version with ads. But also realistically most mobile gamers aren't using a controller and touchscreens suck.

People on iphone dont have a problem with paying a couple of bucks for a good game so you could make a lot of money if game is realy good..

Yeah but I would have to bootstrap myself on Android first to get an ios devkit :(

Although I have also considered cornering the Mac gaming market for basically the same reasons
