You can backflip in mid-air which is useful to go a little higher or cancel the direction you're moving in. I don't remember the exact control for it, but I think it was double tapping after jumping.

Absolutely, it's a great game.
The fun part of this game is hearing such differing opinions, I had someone explain that Block Koala was their favorite. I personally didn't gel with Planet Zoldath, it's conceptually neat but I found it very tedious. Glad you enjoy it though!
I'll post it on Lemmy once it's done. I'm still not entirely sure which gaming communities would be most suitable but it'll definitely be in !blogging@programming.dev :)
That said, UFO 50 is truly massive, so it'll be some time before I finish this thing. One of the games I haven't started yet is apparently a 20+ hour JRPG, so that'll be fun.
I have been obsessed with this game since it came out. I've already put in 60 hours and got 14 games cherried (which means 100%ing them, getting a true ending, or beating a difficult challenge).
I'm writing an incredibly long blog post where I review every single game in the pack. Excited to finish & share it once I'm done playing through everything.
I've been on Nobara for almost a year now and am really happy with it. The only distro I'd probably switch to is Bazzite just to try out immutability, but aside from that I'm good where I am.
There are two good options: Host your own blog yourself, or join a blogging platform that isn't corporate. I personally use BearBlog but I've heard good things about Write.as as well. These two have free blogging options and don't sell your data. If you want to host it yourself (which is safer), check out Hugo.
Ultimately, bots scrape the entire internet and there's no guarantee they will honor robots.txt of a particular website (which tells bots what they are and aren't allowed to do). If it's on the internet, people can scrape your content and there isn't much you can do about it. That shouldn't stop you from writing or blogging, just don't post very personal data.

It's a two part story:
-
The mobile market mostly targets kids and boomers and their resistance to microtransactions has been basically non-existent, making the market quickly become predatory and full of spam
-
Modern app stores have become abysmal, making it impossible for smaller games to see the light of day. 99% of google play is a dumpster fire, and the 1% that is decent isn't published by a multi-billion dollar company so you're unlikely to ever see it. There are good games out there, but the way the algorithms and ads work makes them constantly pushed down in the list. This isn't "a problem" to a company like Google because they're making bank off of all these ad spaces.
Anyways, most good games are paid, but here's a list of stuff I've enjoyed playing on mobile:
-
Fancy Pants Adventures
-
Bloons TD 6
-
Dicey Dungeons
-
Dead Cells
-
Slay the Spire (but the mobile port is rough on small screens)
-
Knights of Pen and Paper +1
-
The Enchanted Cave 2
-
Let's Create! Pottery
-
BAIKOH
-
Data Wing
Probably a lot more I forgot. Have at it.
Has it ever been better?
Actually, yes, by a big margin. Back in ~2011 mobile games were actually trying to be great. Games like Edge Extended, World of Goo, Bounce Boing Voyage, Zenonia 2 & 3, etc.
I remember early Humble Bundles being full of exciting games for mobile, now you'll be lucky to find just one of them that isn't filled to the brim with MTX or ads.
Your Inception is a great choice, but I also low-key wished pizza tower's music got in to meme on the other instances
There doesn't seem to be any affordable small phones. Small phones don't have a big market so they're usually $500+ and have worse specs than other phones in the same price range.
Right now. WASM has been supported by every browser for a while now, and most webapps are made with WASM. That said, it's not a replacement for Javascript, most people only use it on things that need to be high performance like heavier apps and web games. Nobody really makes websites that rely on WebAssembly instead of JS to my knowledge.
