The Infinity Blade or Minigore series, for example, or anything made by Illusion Labs. These games are genius and most consoles don’t even have a touch screen or utilise it well like some smartphone games do.

Also why do people look at me weirdly 👀 when I play games on my phone in public while waiting for something?

    For a long while mobile games were either beyond simple (like snake on the old indesctructible Nokia) or we’re pay to win money extractor gachas.

    There was a period before the latter really came around that things were pretty interesting.

    Then in-app purchases, subscriptions and micro transactions basically dialed up to 11 on mobile platforms.
