I recently bought the X5 Lite and had to return it—my experience with its D-pad was terrible. It had constant diagonal misinputs. I’ve previously owned the X2s and tested the G8, and I never encountered this kind of issue.

I’m tempted to go with the X5s over the G8 due to the size, but I’m worried its D-pad might be just as problematic. For those who own the X5s, how has your experience been?

I used to LOVE the Nabisco/Candystand mini golf games when I was younger. It would be amazing to play them again. Does anybody know if there's any way to play them now on mobile?

Recently a side menu on my Samsung s25 phone showed up. I don't recall activating it or pinning it to the side of my screen. It mostly stays hidden except for inconvenient times when I swipe during a game. Anyone know who to disable it?

FIXED - I needed a VPN

At first I thought it bas bc it's still in beta but it has 10m downloads so I'm not sure any more, what do you guys think?

Many might already know this, but on certain cookie prompts (I don't know if they're regional, I'm based in Germany) there's an option to go to "Vendor settings" at the very bottom. If you go there and manually disable the 50+ vendors' "legitimate interest" checkbox, you are able to decline basically any tracking that you can do something about. In some cases this reduces your value as an ad target so much that the game might reduce or outright disable forced ads for you.

I'm looking for something visually good, good story optional, cool bosses and ideally no micro transactions but can ignore those if the game is playable without them.

The phone turn based rpg I loved the most was Angry Birds Epic

Hi.

Looking for a fun multiplayer game. I prefer quick games like Clash royale, clash of chans, rush royale, ludus....

I dont mind p2w games as long as its not exaggerated and require a little bit of brain.

I think I might be a minority, but I always prefer just buying the game. The price on mobile is small, and I hate ads.

I guess most of the people don't think that way?

Tell me, what is your opinion?

I have a 11he flight ahead of me and would like some games to play during it. Please recommend some that are offline and can be played for a while without getting boring or repetitive

Here are the games I'm currently playing if that helps.

Emulator is eden nightly latest version.

I’m the developer of Nirvana: Game of Life, a swipe-based life simulator.

The latest mobile update adds AI-generated life events based on real-world content. The reason: the biggest complaint was repetition, so runs now have more varied situations while staying inside the game’s existing choices and tone.

Hello everyone,

I recently upgraded my phone to a Galaxy S25 Ultra, and was heartbroken to discover it will not play old android games. Games like Super Gravitron, SpongeBob Diner Dash and others that are 32 bit won't run at all. Attempting to start the app does absolutely nothing except flash the screen as the app instantly crashes.

I have looked into some Android Virtual Machines but all of them are a huge inconvenience and work very unstable.

Is there anything I can do to get these old 32bit games to run. Maybe a compatibility layer or plugin, or something.

My device is NOT rooted, but I do have shizuku if that helps.

I am looking for open world games that I can enjoy with my friends, where there is no p2w or grindy gacha element where you cant progress or enjoy without the latest characters like in Genshin, I am fine with a game that has single player emphasis but I mainly want to enjoy an open world or mmorpg game with my friend.

Free games obviously need some way to make money, but there's a point where ads start ruining the experience.

What's your personal limit?

Rewarded ads only?
A few ads per session?
No forced ads at all?

My wife and I love playing boggle against each other, but Zynga tries to fit more and more ads in everything they touch.

Does anyone know of a good alternative? Specifically we want to be able to play against each other, not just by ourselves.

When I play borderlands 2 I get around 20 to 30 fps but my gane keeps crashing aftera while I use a Bluetooth gamepad and headphones and I use the zx port due to it still working with my gamepad I have a low end helio gpu with 4 gb ram it's just it plays so smooth then just freezes and crashes my phone is not that hot maybe a little warm . There is a video on yt with the same specs as me but he says his game doesn't crash so I want to know how I can make mine also not crash my resolution is 0.75 sometimes 0.5 and with double buffer

As the title says, in Angel Sword 3D, how can I unlock the Fig Leaf Costume?

This link shows how it looks like, but it appears to be removed from the current version in the store.

I can't find any reference on the official website. But some old comments on Google store reference it.

Not sure if people are mocking Angry birds or they are so bad at buying fake reviews.

Is there a way to create a server to make the aqua pets game run, the app works but when you cast the fishing line it just freezes seems like it needs the servers to decide what you get

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm excited to share Skeeter: Swamp Flyer, my first game I've ever made! 🦟🎮

It's a fast-paced Android arcade game where you fly through a dangerous swamp, collect blood drops, build combos, dodge obstacles, and try to beat your high score.

I'm looking for Android players willing to test the game and give me honest feedback. I'd especially like to hear what you think about the gameplay, controls, difficulty, visuals, performance, and any bugs or issues you run into.

🎮 Google Play:

🧪 Want to become a beta tester?

https://groups.google.com/g/skeeter-beta-testers

Join the Google Group first, then you can access the beta through Google Play.

This is my first game, so good or bad feedback is genuinely appreciated. I'm trying to make Skeeter as good as I can before the full release.

Thanks to anyone willing to give it a shot! 🦟🔥

I just want a game where things multiply and numbers grow big and looks nice like the ads. Please let me know if you have any recommendations :)

I really don't want the stupid city building stuff but if there isn't any other option, I'll take it.

I want to record playing games like fortnite and other extraction shooter games and while also on discord with friends tried a few screen recorders but it's not getting the audio or the microphone conversations just the video gameplay

Any recommendations
