I was early into mobile gaming, and it used to be AWESOME! It was a platform oozing with potential. Every game that came out on mobile was excellently crafted...until Candy Crush came out. It literally ruined the whole genre.

I wouldn't exactly call Doodle Jump the pinnacle of gaming.

If you play games like monument valley 1 & 2, dadish, 20 minutes till dawn and games similar to that you'll see how polished mobile games can be.

Edit: Game name correction

Don't forget World of Goo

[-] Vent@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

World of Goo 2 isn't on mobile :(

[-] Artyom@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

Doodle Jump wasn't the pinnacle of gaming, but everything about it was polished to perfection. The devs really put in the effort and finished the game, which is a rare feeling even in AAA games today.

Rose tinted glasses here, extremely simple game loop and it still had bugs and hit box issues under some conditions

But the potential was there, not a mtx nightmare in 80 percent of games. I would still say that great games like minedustry or better are still possible nowadays

[-] ArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

Not being an MTX nightmare should be the bare minimum, not something deserving of praise.

[-] Rubanski@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Minedustry hast no mtx, it's even free on Android. I bought the game on steam to support the developer even tho I don't play it on steam

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Perhaps not, but it was definitely fun.

Of course not. That title belongs to Fruit Ninja.
