I just wanted to highlight how powerful these chips are.

NxNative is what was used. The best way to think about it is translating the switch code to run natively into Apple silicon.

Phone does get warm, and I wonder how it will be on the 18 Pro max

Out on friday

Looking for something simple enough where I can just hold my phone with just one hand that’s all.

There used to be a browser based game called Gemcraft. It was tower defense with gems, but you could combine different gems to either upgrade their power/utility (same shape) or change up what they did (different colors). I think you could do both (two squares of different colors made the next shape but blended color).

Anything like that on iOS these days?

Looks like Australia got it early, no cross save yet but that’s more likely due to earlier release.

Works well on an m4 iPad Pro, has 30, 40, 60 and uncapped frame rate options. Playing touch and with an MFI controller, touch is good, MFI feels as native as any console.

There's not too many 'DECENT' clicker games when it comes to iOS and I feel like Clicker Heroes along with a few other are the only available options to us. Is there a hidden gem in there that's worth a look? Something you play every week?

I’m talking the stuff that thrives on mobile. No controller needed, no “this would be better on console”, not gimmicky stuff like Words With Friends, just straight up awesome genuine gaming experiences. Dead Cells is good on mobile but better on a PC, for instance.

I’ve got a pretty clean Mount Rushmore of:
1. Infinity Blade
2. Balatro
3. Dawncaster
4. Slay the Spire

What am I missing? I feel like finding iOS games worth your time is so much harder than the other platforms, and in my old age it’s easier to find time on the can than on the couch. I’m hoping there are some greats out there that I’ve overlooked.

Personal preference, I don’t love action. Reflexes and such are so tough on a phone instead of a controller. Are there any that are so well done that they’re still great even despite that?

My first ever card game purchase (with the exception of Balatro) and I’ve just been having so much fun with it. Any other games like this? I heard good things about Slay The Spire but I know STP 2 came out on other platforms recently and I don’t really want to buy an outdated game; if I’m wrong the first game is still good and not outdated please let me know!

Finally got tired of my pro falling on my face while I was reading books before I went to sleep so I got a mini. Seems the perfect size the game on however what are some good controllers that connect directly to the iPad that you would recommend?

Thanks in advance

As a Duo user finding optimised games are few and far between as it currently stands.

I’ve been thinking if Safari is optimised then browser based games might be an idea.

What are some good browser based games that you would recommend?

P.s - Don’t recommend Torn as I got over my addiction for that!

This is one of the best TD games I've ever played, now updated to support the Duo and other modern devices. Update comes with new missions, maps and towers. If you haven't played it this is a must try!

This is the best setup I have tried in years.

I’ve been using the S8 for a few days on different apps like Moonlight, Sumee, and a few other apple arcade games that support the use of controller and after using other controllers like the Gamesir, Backbone or even the expensive MCON controller. The S8 has given me the most comfortable gaming experience out of any mobile controller i’ve used so far.

Magnetic hall effect sticks means no stick drift ever, the whole controller feels perfectly like handling an xbox controller with your beautiful OLED screen in the middle. The buttons are satisfying to click and theres even vibration on the apps that support it.

It even has two re-mappable buttons on the back that you can change through their also great app on the app store.

Their app is like a game launcher in it-self. Also containing the settings for your controller as well this is a great all in one hub to launch your games.

I appreciate the wide compatibility and am even thinking of investing in an 8.7 inch tablet to get the maximum use out of this controller. You can use this on IOS or android. Meaning even Ipad mini’s work on this device.

I’ve been using this in bed and on the couch and my hand never cramp and get tired like they do with the MCON. This controller is seriously comfortable. Even down to the thoughtful placement of the pass through charging cable that doesn’t block your hands and still gives you perfectly normal use of the controller.

The build quality is also great and the hinge doesn’t fill flimsy or as if I could break it on accident such as like with the Backbone. My phone feels protected inside with the rubber grips holding it in place, there’s no slipping at all.

This controller was only 45 dollars after tax through Amazon and it feels like I should have paid 80 or even 90 dollars for this premium feeling controller.

After this great experience with Abxy I’ve also preordered their M6 controller which can be found on kickstarter, you’ll even get a small discount if you sign up for their early bird. I’m sure this controller will be just as great of quality as the one I’m holding now. Im also excited for the inclusion of vibration support which even the MCON doesn’t have with its 120 dollar price tag.

All in all I love this controller and would purchase it again, like I already said it feels as if I should have paid double what I did.

Combine this controller with Moonlight on my desktop and i’ve made my own 45 dollar Steam Deck.

Just wanted to share this game that just released a few days ago and that I haven’t seen anyone mention yet (I have zero affiliation with it, to be clear): Mika: Dungeon Backpacker

I like backpack management games like Backpack Brawl (which I enjoy but dislike the monetization of) or Backpack Battles (no portrait, no go for me), so I was curious to check this out since it plays in portrait and has (so far at least) less annoying monetization. Plus I like the art style a lot more.

I’ve only been playing for a couple days, but so far I’ve been enjoying it a lot.

The game uses a “world - stage” system, each stage is a dungeon with a number of floors, with each new floor opening with a shop where you can buy items to add to your backpack (different weapons, potions, runes, extra slots, etc). You can combine the same items to level them up, and you get access to more and more powerful items as you progress.

Each floor is broken into tiles with random events (combat, chests, buffs, traps, etc), once you find the exit you have to fight a floor boss, a bigger boss on the last floor, and the biggest boss on the last floor of the last stage of each world.

Beat a stage, get rewards, use them to permanently buff your team, repeat.

Combat is automatic, same as every backpack management game - put items in the backpack and they trigger on a cooldown - plus you get special abilities from your team members (up to 4). Each team member can also be leveled up/evolved to unlock stronger abilities, and they have buffs that are activated by having specific items in your backpack (wands, armor, etc).

You also get AFK rewards and additional buffs you can unlock and level up to make your team more powerful.

It’s a pretty simple game, but I’m enjoying it more than Backpack Brawl so far. If you like these types of games definitely give it a try.

A few extra disclaimers/thoughts:

- it is a gacha, which I know is going to be enough to get this post downvoted to hell, BUT you get a good amount of pulls + it doesn’t seem like having the S tier characters or “weapons” matters much. I got a couple they’re fine, but my starting characters seem about as strong. Maybe the late game will change things, but for a more casual player I don’t think it would be an issue.

- it has ads, but you can buy a one time (bless) ad removal pack that’ll get rid of the few forced ads (I only saw them after world 1, and only when resting) and give you a few extra goodies you’d get by watching ads. Just don’t be dumb like me and spend $10 on it, turns out you can buy a $5 gem pack from their online store - outside of the app - and use that instead 🤦‍♂️

- it has the usual gacha passes and other IAP (if you’ve played Sword X Staff, they’re similar to that), but so far they’re all for extra pull currency. I think there is a PvP arena mode, but the core gameplay loop and most of the game seems to be PvE, so.. I always see these as something you can get if you want to progress faster, but not something you need to buy to play and enjoy the game.

- it’s voice acted! I’m not sure if it’s AI voice acted, but if it is, it doesn’t feel like it. But my god I wish they gave the shop fairy more than a singular “Still alive?” voice line.

- one review mentioned “obviously AI art”, but as an artist myself who also happens to be very familiar with the kind of art AI can generate, I’m pretty confident this isn’t AI art. Maybe some of the icons, but everything else is too “organic” to be AI imo. Again, if it is AI, it’s not the in-your-face, sloppy kind of AI. I like it, personally.

I remember this game that I used to play where you play as one of the girls and try to get as far as you can. It’s like I made up this game in my head, because I can’t seem to find it ANYWHERE! Like wiped from the internet. You hold the phone sideways and you can power them up. Maybe I’m thinking about another game but I am 99% sure that it was a powerpuff girl game and it’s keeping me up PLEASE HELP!!

I’ve only just downloaded this, but I looked up the reviews on steam some people with hundreds of hours into it. It looks like a very complex and interesting game where each run has very different outcomes each planet you visit is like its own episode of Star Trek from what I’m reading so far I’m really enjoying it. I suggest people check it out.

I have an iPhone 17 pro max and my phone gets pretty hot when playing certain games, this causes the screen to auto dim and some games to limit frame rate, I’m also concerned about the longevity of the phone with it running so hot for long periods of time over the years. I’m considering trying a phone cooler but wanted to see if anyone else here uses anything like this and what their experience with them is and what recommendations they have for quality ones

A friend recently recommended Quintra and I’m hooked. It’s like scrabble meets poker and I am constantly trying to beat The Cheat. Anyone else played? https://apps.apple.com/us/app/quintra/id6809595343

Looking to dip my toes in some incremental stuff and nothing too complicated though, Mr Mine is the sweet spot, looking for something similar.
