Mobile gaming suffering from one big problem.  Platform has various limits when comes to what genres can exist.  Worse still certain phones are better for gaming compared to others.   Biggest problem is most games are rather simple not that complex.  Great time wasters with little to no depth turn out to be money sinks.  Open secret that studios seek whales or cash cows.  Exploiting certain customers habits to earn money from them.

Last night decided to sit down and play jetpacker fighter from Hi Rez.  Studio behind the game has another game, ongoing promotion between the two games.  Often avoided mobile games due gameplay mechanics being lackluster.   Quite enjoy jetpacker fighters from Hi Rez.  Gameplay is simple based on timing more than anything.  Biggest criticism I have of the game is the server quality can be iffy at times.  Causing serious latency issues which end up killing you.   Not sure could be my network causing the problems.  Gameplay wise you move your finger across the screen avoiding being hit by the environment and hitting the robots.  Enjoying this title makes me think of Sonic hedgehog series.  Fast pace game which works on the mobile platform.  Soundtrack is rather good simple set of music which fits into the theme.

Curious on what mobile phone games most people play and how long on average people play. Various other questions like have you spent an money on these games.  Here a small list on all the games played one my OnePlus One so far.

Hearthstone – Card games are good fit for the mobile platform. Collectable card which you can battle against others using various cards and deck designs.  Works quite well on the mobile platform, even played it at the train station.  Quite like hearthstone but suffers from grind problem many free to play games do.

Pokemon GO – Turns your world into pokemon filled world based on your camera.   Landmarks become important places to visit in order to earn pokemon and items.   Rather basic as an idea missing many features from previous pokemon games but nice throwback.  Fun game allowing you to collect every pokemon you loved as a kid.

Marvel Puzzle Quest – Not sure how to describe this game.  Liked it however found it to be boring after some time and hate puzzle games.

Pew Pew – Genre wise multidirectional shoot them up.  Works on mobile platform oddly enough.

Voxel Rush – Racer game that free to play.

Play hearthstone the most out of these titles with rest only have couple hours logged.
