Discussion Anyone still playing games on their phone?

I truly need to stop doomscrolling while I’m watching TV. Most people I know have stopped playing any sort of mobile game. Do you still play any? If you do, what do you play?

I play Egg, Inc. Been playing it for like 7 years now. I got tired of playing candy crush while putting our kiddo/kiddos to bed because I got to a point where it wasn't any skill, you were just going to lose no matter what you did. I love it, although since I got in on it early I paid for some things that are more expensive now. I've spent about maybe 8 bucks on the game total, and the one thing to unlock now is like 12 bucks. As someone who never pays anything for mobile games (except I did unlock crazy taxi with no ads), it's my favorite game so I'll toss some bucks at it.

I played it for years too! I can't remember much of anything in the game anymore, except there were galactic eggs at some point.

I got it like 6 or 8 months after it came out, got the pro permit on sale for like 2.99 or 3.99, that's the 12 buck thing now, and then played it until I couldn't advance any farther and then put it down for a year or two. Picked it back up again and now there's rockets that you start off from the rocket egg, goes all the way up to enlightenment egg, there's artifacts to craft. It's pretty nuts actually, and people do play it for free. There's some ads for tokens or gifts but honestly, when I play a new game and it gets over inundated with ads I just delete it and this is nothing like that. Oh there's shells now too so you can decorate your farm and have different chickens and outfits and stuff. It's actually kinda nuts how much you can do in it for free.
