What mobile games are keeping your attention these days? (Preferably iOS compatible)

I haven’t had a lot of time to do much console gaming lately but I still would love to have a “go to” mobile game that I can whip out and progress a few levels or grind a few items or knock out a battle or match or two.

Interested to know what games have grabbed you and held your attention lately?

Shattered Pixel Dungeon. I have another phone, this one is recent, with at least 2k games on it

Evan consistently updates Shattered Pixel Dungeon, and I fucking love his game. It's it's own version of the open source Pixel -f415-471f-9968-8e2f71c3ea3c.png)

This is now the fourth or fifth time someone has recommended this one to me....I think it is high time I pick it up!

Any advice for a first-time player?

Haha I had to chime in.

Best beginner tips - explore a level fully before you drink any potions. Certain "potion" rooms will always have the potion that solves the puzzle in them on the same floor -

  • fish room will have an invisible potion,
  • evil crystal sentry will have a haste potion,
  • gas filled room will have a purity potion,
  • Wooden door can be burned with fire pot,
  • Magic fire can be put out with ice potion,
  • Completely trap filled room has a levitation pot on the same level

Upgraded items (wands/armor/weapons# x , potions of strength, and scrolls of upgrade cannot be destroyed by bombs, or explosive traps/stones. This is a good way to identify items with bonuses (armor/weapons)

Well of health will cleanse all worm cursed items, heal you to fill, and remove all negative status (including hunger/starvation)

Oh also. Sneak attacking/surprise attacks - yellow exclamation above their heads. Moving through a door, with an anemy right behind, will close the door behind you, and cause them to have to open it - meaning you get a free chance to attack and auto-hit.
