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

Wish I could get rise instead but not available in the uk

As many of you know, older 32 bit games no longer work on newer snapdragon chips due to them no longer having the 32 bit libraries needed to run these older games

Using ZettaBridge and claude I manged to get it working on my tablet on android 16 with a snapdragon 8 elite soc

I picked 2 specifically due to 3 and 4 working on 64 bit devices from community patches

At first you would need to download zettabridgr and import your app and then load it but this is now a standalone app that does everything, it boots unpacks game files the first time and then boots into the game menu

I fixed as many bugs as I could, some present even ig you play this game on an older device.

Next step is to actually play the the whole story to make sure everything works

The best part is you don't even need a computer, I did evrything on this tablet

Also sorry for the bad pictures, my tablet is worth more than my phone xdd

As in games that don't require live control for movement and such. I like taking my time to make choices so everything I do is consequential. I really enjoy the gameplay loop of roguelites like Slay the Spire and Chaos Zero Nightmare's StS mode, as well as the intensity of something like Darkest Dungeon and the 3DS Fire Emblem games. Is there anything out there that captures both the strategic intensity and replayability of those games?

No emulation please (I already have options there 😅). Does not have to be card based/deckbuilding. Good art direction is a big plus 👍

Thanks!

I like the gameplay, it lets you click on the ball to apply spin and loft, then plays out with physics. There's a nice combination of casual and interactive. Is there anything else with similar mechanics?

I really enjoy GnollHack bringing qol and more casual balancing to nethack, but I'm looking for something that goes beyond just one dungeon. My dream game is I guess Daggerfall in portrait mode.

Not looking for survivor-like or card games. I've played plenty of them and know they're good. My current mood is just something else.

I've really tried to like shattered pixel dungeon but it's just not for me compared to GnollHack. I often feel like there's not enough to do in early game to keep me going.

I'm thinking maybe a golf game or some peaceful fishing, maybe shooting penalties in soccer. An xp system or some sort of stakes/progression would be nice too!

Thanks in advance.

Budget 250€. Cerco un nuovo telefono con Snapdragon di terza generazione. supp output HDMI via cavo USB-C Snapdragon 8s Gen3

In alternativa, Poco F6 perché non riesco a trovarlo in Italia.

Edit Found It Honor Magic 6 Pro

Honestly it's been wild looking through 2026 as an Android gamer with recent translation layers and environments. I've always dreamed of running Skyrim on an Android phone and now I can just boot up Game Hub and run it, never having to wait for Bethesda to come out with a port.

A lot of times a direct Android port is less than the original game and not architected correctly. In my honest opinion the only true difference between a port and what Game Hub does is the true implementation of controls but that's just my opinion.

For me as long as I can get the game, it doesn't matter which version it is. If there's a port out there that's pretty damn good, I'll play that over dealing with an emulator. Generally I find myself lately just installing the games from x86 onto my Android devices.

I'm playing Hollow Knight on a Pixel 11 and I'm having an issue when trying to use the Stagway.

After choosing a destination, the game soft-locks itself. I can hear music, and if I try to push buttons, it gives the sound and animation like I'm still selecting something on the menu. But I can't move or even go to the pause menu. Has anyone else had this issue, and is there a fix for it? If it matters, I'm also using a GameSir G8 Galileo, but it still does the same thing on touchscreen.

I released a new game and would love to get feedback! If anyone is willing, it would be much appreciated!

Also, I can provide a promo code if interested!

WTF WHY is a little passion project of mine where I've recreated 6 of my favourite retro games - but I also enjoy random chaos, so I've thrown that into each game as well haha

Some of the major changes include far more balance in the games for playability and enjoyment, some fun new content in the games like the gardener, froggy needs to collect ingredients for his mojitos because...who cares why, fixed ad serving issues so they're far and few between (I apologise that some of you got hit with ads way more frequently than you should have!!! That was an honest mistake on my part), fixed the regions in which the app is available (Available everywhere now, hooray!), annnnddd a couple bug fixes.

Would love it if y'all would have a play, let me know what you think!!

P.S Made a dorky little video for the app too haha

Is there any way to make battery and time visible all times during gaming. I have a Samsung S26+. If there's no inbuilt features, could there be an app for this?

I cannot for the life of me figure out what I'm supposed to be doing with this. Bits and pieces are legible to me but I can't put enough together to actually do anything with it.

I haven't been able to find any sort of community or guide out there, no idea if its just that small or what.

I'm using a Galaxy Z Fold 8 and using Droid Deck to play Borderlands the Pre-Sequel. It's running at a pretty consistent 60 frames per second, but I went ahead and purchased Lossless Scaling from Steam, which helps in case there's a few frame dips. I lowered the resolution to 720p and medium settings. I think it looks pretty good. Droid Deck is certainly advancing pretty fast.

Does anyone else absent-mindedly game while watching shows? Any recommendations for something fun, casual, not too grindy?

My dad wants to buy a tablet to my mom, to play. The games she plays are Candy Crash and clones of it so nothing really serious. He wants to gift ger a tablet so the screen is bigger than the phone.

Any recommendation of a reasonable priced tablet my mom can get?

Thanks.

Hi Comunity,
with the first steps made to a gps based game, i am curious to know what you would feel is good content to have fun.
NOT to get you addicted or pushing you to play, but what is enjoyable / relaxing to play.

A major breaking point for me in development is creating a bit of content you can play in the evenings on the couch. Especially how others feel about it.

Throwing in my thoughts for some feedback:
-Merge game with stuff you gathered
-little duels / battles with the achieved equip / pets
-just scroll and compare?
-Sort and adjust (like pokemonGo stat analyzing of found pokemons?)
-features you really enjoy in games

I would love to get a feeling what other people would enjoy, keeping in mind to integrate into some game where you walk, aquire better pets and gather stuff to improve.

Thanks in advance on every comment.

[DEV] I made a game. Its like dope wars but with boats and in the 1600s its called spice wars. Nobody plays it but if you like dope wars i did a graft on this and I bring to you spice wars. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.satoshi.spicewars

here's the link it sits unappreciated, but i love it. i made it it has new mechanics and a fluid gameplay trade spices and fight naval battles upgrade your ship and alsorts. Probably gonna give up on it tbh but its here if anybody wants it.

Hey all,

I've recently been playing a lot of Desert Island Draft (10/10) and I just started playing Shoebox Summer (also 10/10)

One game is by "that's long overdue" and one is by "That's Long Overdue". They look like different companies in playstore.

Does anyone know if both these devs are the same or if one is copycatting?

I'm having a ton of fun with both but if one is ripping the other off I feel like I should tell them or something...

Is there anyone else who prefers to play levels by taking the most inconvenient path possible?

Hi everyone, I’ve just released Octaphase on the Google Play Store.

It’s free and completely ad-free.

What do you think? Enjoy! ^_^

Hey guys, i jerryrigged this mobile gamin setup together. Its using my rooted Oneplus 9pro on evolutiom x android 16 custom.rom with bypass charging into the kernel,Backbone controller gamesir x5 lite, usb c to c adapter and a cooling fan on back....also note i modded my hardware personally. I removed the camera module, and revealed the square layer above the SOC. I also covered the exposed motherboard components to prevent corrosion and shortcircuiting.... and have the fan on top....ive tested it and gamed on minecraft bedrock and ps2 emulation and the temps stay stable around 43-45degrees c even when charging and playing as well as overclocking the SOC and gpu.... and games run smooth😃...do you rate it? And would you try this out? NOTE....The little thing taped on is a stablizer to prevent falling over of the phone fprwards or backwards...
