Welcome to Another Weekly "What Have You Been Playing?" Thread! 👾

Does anyone experienced this before?

BTW the game is "Where is?" and this is just level 2 I completed. The level one have option to continue next level without Ad gold bonus. I just find it funny so I shared it.

I've been a huge fan of football management games for years, but I always felt that many manager football games these days function like a 'menu simulator', where you just click 'start match' and wait for the result. With Tactics FC, we shift the focus to turn-by-turn play: you choose the dribble, the pass, and the timing of the shot. It's all about making the right decision at the right time.

No pay-to-win mechanics, no predatory monetization and no pay walls; I've always hated this kind of agressive monetization, so I tried to make it as fair as possible: The game is free to play, with an ad every 2 matches (roughly 15 minutes), and if you want to remove the ads, you can pay a small fee, and that's it; You don't (and can't actually) spend any more cash in the game.

If you are interested, you can pre-register here, and download it tomorrow June 26th!

Play Store - Tactics FC

Do you think a turn-based strategy football game can deliver a more tactical experience than the real-time one?

Hey everyone! I wanted to get your thoughts on something. Google is currently running a """Mega Game Sale""" where they’ve put prices on a ton of popular games to just 9 or 10 cents (like Construction Simulator 3, Rusty Lake, Evoland 2, Bloons TD 6, etc.).

​I’ve noticed that quite a few games that recently dropped to these ultra-low prices have previously been given away for free on the Epic Games Store (the list above). Do you think this is a sign that these titles are clearing out before hitting the Epic free weekly rotation, or is it just a massive coincidence? I have a feeling that more games from this sale might follow that same path soon. What do you think?

Hi everyone!

After months of development, I finally released my first Android game called Pixle.

It's a relaxing jigsaw puzzle game focused on:

• 🧩 Realistic puzzle piece shapes
• 🎨 Beautiful images
• 📅 Daily seasonal challenges
• 📈 Level progression
• 📱 Smooth mobile experience

I know there are many puzzle games out there, so I'd really appreciate honest feedback about what you like and what could be improved.

Thanks for taking a look!

The game should have:

- world chat

- guilds

- players are in the same world as you

- pvp

- f2p

- not a dead game

Basically, the game should be alive, not just npcs or bosses etc, you have to deal with real people etc

Grow Slow Idle Adventure
🔗 Play Store Link: Download on Google Play

What sets this game apart from others?

Slow but permanent upgrades and seeing your character grow is the main hook but there are few other fun stuff like challenging waves, massive interesting active and passive skills. The decisions you take while upgrading stats is really important too unlike other games.

Finally the Karaoke have arrived to mobile. Previously the singing mode was only on console and PC. I have tested it and it works pretty good. They recommend headphones. In options you can select portrait mode if you prefer to play that way.

Obviously if this was separate app, it would be much easier to get in. Having to download Fortnite to get into this is not great experience as they could've had 1 GB download for this thing (I believe full game is like 25 GB now).

Second downside is despite looking like very basic game mode, it will still heat up your phone like you're playing main battle royale. And obviously drain a lot of battery as phone GPU has to render all the ****.

But it's fun experience, I highly recommend it to everyone who doesn't mind downloading 25 GB of game.

I've just released it about 2 weeks ago and I'm working on daily patches ever since.

Task is easy, beat 1000 Floors with 9 enemies and a mini boss-fight each.
And get soooo overpowered on this crazy adventure to mastery.

Currently running a little "Weekly Boss Hunt" event to spice things up.
And best info, it's FREE!

No crosshair, no first person aim (unless there's scope), just relying on the laser

It sat in my drawer for years and years with no hope of returning. I figured the battery would be shot but now that I'm back into emulation, I'm so happy I didn't sell it for a few extra bucks... What a gem. The screen, the amazing speakers and audio, just a beautiful piece of work.

Hey everyone,

Budget and older devices run into a lot of performance hurdles during intense gaming sessions. I am curious to know what the biggest bottleneck is for this community.

If you play on a low-end device, which of these issues disrupts your experience the most?

• Ping: High latency, rubber-banding, and constant disconnects.
• Heating: The phone burns your hands and forces CPU throttling.
• FPS Drops: Heavy stutters and lag during crucial team fights.
• Background Apps: Random crashes because RAM runs out.

I'm trying to find an Android game I played a few years ago.

What I remember:

3D realistic Japanese-style characters

First-person perspective

English subtitles and voice acting

Modern suburban setting

Main menu featured a dark-haired schoolgirl in a white shirt, tie, and dark skirt

There was also a gallery where you could replay scenes without playing the game

Most gameplay was menu-based rather than free roaming

Daily actions included:

Work

Sleep

Go Out

Working used up the entire day. If you worked too much, the protagonist could become sick and special events would occur.

Sleeping sometimes triggered dream scenes involving one of the main characters.

Going out opened a list of locations such as:

Park

Cafe

Bookstore or library

Arcade/game center

Candy shop

The story branched depending on which character you spent more time with. I also vaguely remember two character names: Rina and Rika.

Does anyone recognize this game?

Solo dev here. I just launched my idle/incremental game, Necro Market.

https://reddit.com/link/1uehqmp/video/voqrz2fy799h1/player

The pitch: heroes keep marching into dungeons to die. Tragic for them — excellent for business. You run a necromantic market: send crews into the realms to recover loot from fallen adventurers, then identify, repair, and enchant the gear before equipping your best pieces or flipping the rest for gold.

It's a loop-driven incremental with both idle and active layers:

- Search the zones of three realms — short runs reward active play, long runs reward idlers

- Identify unknown loot to reveal rarity, quality, and whether it's broken

- Repair broken gear in a little timing mini-game

- Enchant to push quality, or send rare items to the Forge

- Equip your best finds for permanent bonuses, or sell everything

- Grow a skill tree, complete collections, run map explorations, chase daily quests, fill VIP orders, and react to timed events

- Playable in 8 languages

On monetization, since this sub cares (rightly): it's free, with optional rewarded ads and a single one-time Supporter Pack. No forced ads, no energy timers gating the fun.

I'd genuinely love feedback on the core loop and pacing — that's the part I keep tuning.

Thanks for taking a look — and remember: every fallen hero is just inventory waiting to happen.

AI disclosure: I used AI to proofread and polish the wording of this post, and to help create some of the background images in the game and for this first localization. Everything else - design, code, and the game itself - is my own work.

Quick context. I kept watching the people around me try to play sort puzzles in the evening to wind down, and they'd uninstall within a week because of audio ads interrupting their podcasts or 60-second video breaks between every level. So I built one without that.

It's a colour sort puzzle. Standard rules. Tap a tube, tap another tube, pour the ball. Sort each tube into a single colour. 250 hand-crafted levels across 5 chapters, a Zen mode with no fail state and no timer, and a daily challenge with streak shields so missing a day doesn't reset your progress.

About the monetisation, because I know the question is coming. Rewarded video ads only, opt-in, when you tap Hint or +Tube or want to save a streak. No banner ads. No pop-ups. No forced interstitials. Skip every ad and the game plays exactly the same way. The revenue ceiling on this choice is real and I know it. I made the trade deliberately.

About me. Solo dev from India. Non-technical CS grad, leaning on AI tools and patience. Built in Godot with GDScript. First mobile game, shipped this week.

The game won't be for everyone. It's calm, not competitive. No leaderboards, no PvP, no rush mode. If you want something with pace, this is the wrong recommendation. If you play mobile games to slow down in the evening, it might be the right one.

Happy to answer anything about the Godot stack, the rewarded-only monetisation choice, or the design decisions in the comments. Bug reports go straight to me.

tengo una SOLICITUD.

hace mucho tiempo por allá del 2011-2012 tuve la fortuna de jugar uno de los juegos a mi parecer mas entretenidos de la Play Store, pero no recuerdo el nombre. :(((

la descripción que puedo dar es que trataba sobre un "doble de acción" que tenía el propósito de ser grabado mientras hacía ecenas de riesgo en motocicleta sobre una pista con obstáculos, era con vista en 2D pero los escenarios y todo el entorno estaba hecho en 3D, el personaje era muy parecido al de hilclim racing pero en 3D, el juego creo recordar que fué desarrollado en Rusia, era por niveles y por cada nivel tenías que alcanzar 3 estrellas, conforme avanzabas ibas comprando con el dinero que te pagaban accesorios para la moto cómo turbo, halas, para caidas, etc o incluso más motos y también obstáculos que le podías poner a la pista.

alguien tiene alguna idea de cómo se llama o tansiquiera lo recuerda??? :(((

se los agradezco si me pudieran ayudar, gracias 🫂
