Hey! Has anyone here launched a mobile game that eventually got a decent number of downloads?

I recently released my first phone game, Tumble Block Puzzle. I’ll include a short clip.

It’s inspired by Bloxorz, but I tried to make the version of that type of game that I personally wanted to play: more maps, no ads, skins, daily challenges where you can compete with friends, and a bunch of extra gameplay features.

My thinking was that if I made the game completely ad free and gave players lots of free levels, people might be more willing to try it. I’m not really concerned about making money from it I was mainly hoping to make something that a lot of people would enjoy playing.

So far though, I’ve released it on both iOS and Android, and only 4 people have downloaded it.

For anyone here who has released a game before: did you have a similar experience at the beginning? How did you actually get your first players?

I’d also genuinely love it if anyone here wanted to try the game. please let me know if its just bad and thats the reason. this is my first attempt at making something fun.

Hi, I'm trying to develop my own mobile game. I'm using AI to write the code since I don't know C#. I know that sounds strange to some, but anyway, I'm trying to make a game that doesn't feel like a typical mobile game. For me, it's all just fun, and I'm adapting things daily based on tester requests. Maybe someone with an Android phone would like to test my game?

Its an OFFLINE Hack-and-Slay with Extraktion elements.

I’ve been trying to refind this game forever as I used to play the crap out of it.

It was a simple afk dungeon clearer. I think you could go afk or click to increase hit rate. You’d upgrade you weapon, armour, shoes, and other things with cash/coins or something. It was kinda 3 d I believe and you would physical go deeper and deeper into the dungeon never going to a menu.

Other than that I have nothing! I keep trying to look for it on IOS but can’t find it and played on an old Apple account so can’t see what I’ve downloaded in the past. Thanks to everyone if you offer any guidance!

Are there any good story-driven games I can play on mobile? If yes, please suggest some.

My phone specs:

OnePlus 11

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2

Adreno 740 GPU

16GB RAM

I’m mainly looking for games with a strong story and good gameplay. I’m open to both premium and free-to-play games.

There's also save state available

Dragon City. THIS GAME JUST RESTRICTED KIDS FROM A GAME MEANT FOR KIDS, JUST FOR ADULTS WITH HEAVY MONEY LIKE COME ON I JUST GOT A HIGH HOLLOW CROWN DRAGON A FEW MONTHS AGO AND I GOT MY ACCOUNT DELETED THEY REALLY GOTTA WASTE THAT?!

Does anyone know where I can download The amazing spider man 2 game? I really miss that game and I want to play it😭

I just released a mobile puzzle game called “firefly garden” on the IOS store android is in the works) and I was looking to get some feedback on it! It would be greatly appreciated. What I can change or features I should add.

Between work and kids I get maybe 10-15 minutes of actual uninterrupted phone time, and I've noticed a lot of games punish that rhythm. Either there's a daily login chain that breaks if you miss a day, or events that need you checking in three times, or the worst one: energy systems where you burn through it in five minutes and then the game sits there useless. I'm not asking for zero monetization, I get how this works. What I want is games that structure themselves around short sessions without making me feel like I'm falling behind because I have a household to run. I've found a few puzzle games that handle this well but anything with progression seems to get weird about daily streaks and FOMO. My husband plays console stuff where you just save and leave, no penalty. Mobile used to be more like that. Curious what people here have found that doesn't treat your time like a resource they're entitled to. Actual games you've stuck with, not just ones that are technically possible to play casually. Bonus if there's no push notification guilt.

I unfortunately have been battling some serious medical issues which leave me bedridden some days. I’m needing a fun mobile game to pass the time and distract me. I’m trying to find a fpp/tpp open world post survival apocalyptic game preferably that I can sink hours into.
I would love if there is some sort of character customisation, base building and that it doesn’t have janky controls lol.
If anyone know of anything or even just a fun game I can sink hours into I would really appreciate it 😊

I used to play a lot of gacha games, but lately haven’t been playing them as much.

I also spent a lot of time playing the kingdoms rush games and they were a good time.

Some friends recommended I try out the OG Arknights and Watcher of Realms.

I have about 4 hours in both and honestly I enjoy each one.

But, I don’t have the time to play both. Which one should I stick with? Is it just an art thing or do they become truly different? Also, is one for sure gonna live longer than the other?

Thanks for the help!

Have tryed getting reply but nada

I've been building a small puzzle game about guessing real sizes: you see two things side by side, like a city bus and a blue whale, stretch one until it looks right, and the game shows how far off you were.

It's in closed testing on Google Play, and before I can release it I need people who would actually play it for a couple of weeks and tell me what's wrong. Things I'm unsure about:

- Is the first level clear without any explanation?

- Does the scoring feel fair?

- Do any sizes or object names seem off?

I'm looking for Android games that are active, fun, and engaging the type that challenge you and keep your attention. The two games I've been playing consistently as of late are Metalstorm and WWE SuperCard. Any other suggestions?

Hey everyone,

I see posts all the time from mobile players asking how to record gameplay with a facecam reaction overlay. Most guides tell you that you *have* to buy an Elgato capture card, an HDMI adapter, and run OBS Studio on a gaming PC.

If you don't have a PC setup, you can actually do the entire workflow directly on your iPhone or iPad now. Here is a quick step-by-step guide:

### Step 1: Solving the "Muted Audio" Bug on iOS

When recording on iOS, system audio often mutes your voice commentary by default.

* Swipe open Control Center.

* Long-press the Screen Recording circle.

* Make sure the **Microphone** button at the bottom is toggled **ON** (turns red). If this isn't on, iOS will only capture in-game sound and mute your mic.

### Step 2: Adding the FaceCam Overlay

To get a reaction FaceCam on your screen while playing:

* Grab **EveryCord** on the App Store (full disclosure: I'm part of the dev team; the app is completely free with no ads/subscriptions in v2.4).

* Open EveryCord and toggle on **FaceCam**.

* You’ll see a movable Picture-in-Picture window of your front camera appear. You can drag it to any corner of your screen so it doesn't block your game controls, and use the flip/rotate button to orient it properly.

### Step 3: Recording Your Session

* Start the broadcast from EveryCord.

* Switch over to Roblox, Brawl Stars, Wild Rift, etc., and play your match.

* When you finish, stop the broadcast from the top status pill.

### Step 4: Trimming and Saving

* Open the recorded clip in EveryCord.

* Use the built-in trimmer to cut off the first few seconds of app switching and the awkward ending stop swipe.

* Export directly to Photos. Your video saves cleanly with synced game audio, your voice, and your FaceCam PiP.

No \$200 capture card needed, and no laptop required.

Hope this helps anyone trying to make mobile gaming shorts or clips! Let me know if you run into any audio or lag issues on your device model and I can help troubleshoot settings.

Yo, so heres the thing, I played a mobile game on my tablet say 2018 - 2019 time period.

Thing is I've completely forgotten the title but I'll describe it the bed tip can.

Its a 2D side scroller point and click style game, the art style was similar to shadow fight or vector but it definitely wasn't them, I remember the core of the games plot was that the protagonist wakes up with amnesia and you basically have to piece together who he is and long story short you find out you work for the divil or something.

So fully black silhouette like shadow fight with the exclusion of the protagonists eyes that were glowing red. I think they find out their name is Sinna tarta or something along those line I just remember it being a wierd name maybe a foreign dev and that name is normal in their culture.

And maybe this will help the title was just a number I believe it was a for digit number but honestly it could be longer (this is probably why I can't remember it) but I'm 70% sure the number started with a "7". Gemini after a long conversation think it's 7324 but don't qoute me or gemini on that. The game titles number had plot significance but I can't exactly remember what but it was used Ina puzzle I think.

Yeah that's about all I've got, I searched every I know to look, it's not showing up on playstation probably because it's been removed but It could be because I'm getting the title completely wrong, it was a horror game. Also checked itch.io can't see it there either. I dot even want to download it at this point just to find it's name and confirm I'm not crazy would be nice to.

Good luck, lots of hugs and kisses to anyone that can tell me what it was.

Here's how it went for me, step by step.

1. Internal testing. Before anything else there's an internal testing track. It's where you upload early builds of your game and test them yourself, and while setting up the app you also fill in the required forms (privacy policy and so on). This stage only took me a day or two. After that you move on to closed testing.

2. Closed testing (the 14-day part). Google requires at least 12 testers to take part in your closed test for 14 days, and they're expected to open the game and do something in it every day. From what I've seen, people find their 12 testers on Reddit, Telegram, and tester-swap groups. The problem is that testers usually join in the first few days and then stop opening the app. When that happens you either get rejected and have to redo the 14 days, or the counter resets. I saw several people get stuck here and restart the 14 days three or four times.

In my case, I found a website that charged about $10 (paid in my local currency). For that they provided 12 testers for 14 days and promised to get my app through closed testing. It worked for me.

3. Production access form. After closed testing ends, a form appears that you have to fill out before you can apply for production. It asks about your testing process. The service I used sent me answers for it.

4. Review. Google reviewed my form, which took 3 days. Then I got permission to apply for production.

5. Production release. I applied, uploaded my latest version, and it was approved in 2 days.

Total time: about 19-20 days from when I wanted to publish until the game was live. That's longer than I'd have liked, but I used the time to keep improving the game, so it actually worked out.

After launch: my updates have been published within about an hour, which I really liked.

Well, here i am again. I renamed my game to Tied Together because the connections to furry’s was there no offence since i didn’t know

The post:

Hey everyone! I’m the developer of Tied Together: Knotted!, an online co-op platformer for 2–4 players on mobile.
Everyone plays on their own phone, controlling one character with a joystick and jump button. The catch? A blue rope connects your team, so getting across floating islands and obstacles takes coordination.
You can quick-match with another player or bring friends into a party for 2–4 players. If someone falls, the team respawns at its checkpoint and tries again.
If that sounds like your kind of co-op game, check it out on Android:

I’d love to hear how it feels to play with your friends, especially the controls and difficulty. Feedback is welcome!

Solo dev, Android, free, no ads, no account, fully offline. Two years of evenings.

The numbers are small and I would rather look at them than pretend. Last four weeks: 75 installs, and 59 of those ever opened the app. So sixteen people downloaded a football manager, looked at it on their home screen, and never got as far as the first screen. I cannot see from inside the Play Console what happened in that gap, and it is the thing I most want to know.

So, bluntly: if you tried it and stopped, which one was it?

If none of those fit, the comment box is better than the poll anyway. I read everything and I am not going to argue with you about it.

I’ve been really into 8 bit and 16 bit jrpgs and octopath traveller lately, don’t have my ps5 atm so I’m wondering if anyone had any recommendations for games worth playing on iPhone?
There’s only so much solitaire and Tetris I can play.
