Preferably some games which aren’t horribly p2w and won’t bombard me with ads.. mainly lf smth to put some time into. Thanks!

This might be a bit niche but I got into TD games during the Warcraft 3 era where you could place towers anywhere and essentially build complex mazes to increase the walking path for the monsters getting to the end.

Most of the TD games these days have fixed positions for you to place your towers, are there any games out there where it's quite fluid which allows for the maze mechanic?

Hi yall,

For the past year I can’t find a game to play. I used to love playing longer games but I think since my addiction to Rocket League and Balatro took over me, I can’t stand anything with even remote “story”. I just don’t care. I want to compete in one way or another. Now I want to scratch that daily ritual type games. Something like Hay Day or similar. Where you can progress daily, but there’s some timers involved. Something I can lay down and pick up later cause customer came. I deeply cared about Heartstone at one point, and King of Thieves at another. Just please give me something to feel again

Looking for games that have good Halloween/fall events? I just downloaded gardenscapes and I don’t mind that, really like Good Coffee Great Coffee. Recently deleted Monopoly Go for how difficult it was becoming to actually obtain certain prizes without paying real money.

I love a shitty, addictive iphone game, but i’m tired of finding a game I really like and then having to deal with ads every 2 minutes, or being unable to even complete levels without ads or paying for ad free.
I’ve found some games that are ad free and I always circle back to them but I struggle to find shittier, more addictive games without the ads constantly, which is a pain when I know it’s such a mindless game for me. I’ve always been happy to spend money on more substantial games, and if anyone can suggest a genuinely good, pay-one-time game that fits what i’m after then I will 100% spend the money on it.
I’ve just got arcade and i’m still not 100% sure how to use it properly, as while I do enjoy a game that I need to use my brain for, I also love to flick at a mindless game while watching tv or film.
shit games that I love that i’ve had to stop using because the ads are too much include: paper.io, solitaire association, my hotel and so many others that I’ve had to get rid of.
I would love to find an ad-less version of paper.io somewhere. or something similar?
Open to any and all suggestions :)

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a controller that’s compatible with both my iPhone 16 Pro and my 11-inch iPad Air M3.
In terms of quality, I was thinking of something along the lines of GameSir.

The most important things for me are that it has a USB-C connection and that I can charge my device while using the controller.

Could anyone recommend a few good options?
Thanks in advance ❤️

Was really into Disney pixel rpg but it shut down. Looking for a turn based rpg or idle game if anyone has any recommendations.

I’m on iOS and I’ve been looking through the App Store to find the game but cannot find it. But, when I google it and click on the App Store link it keeps telling me that it’s not available in my country or region even though I’m in the United States. Also, my Apple account is registered in the United States.

Has anyone else encountered this and know how to fix?

Full game IAP unlock 5.99 down from 12.99

Will any other gameclub games let their DRM removed? both iBlast moki 2 and cursed treasure 2 did, but all other games on the service are currently unavailable because of the severs and website (gameclub.io) are offline.

I just spent over 2 1/2 minutes in fever mode!

Hey everyone

I’m a college student looking for free, offline games to kill time during travel or in between lectures.

One handed games would be great, but don’t only limit your recommendations to that.

Also I don’t like card games or these uncreative 1000 level stickman games.

I want something new and engaging.

Thanks in advance!

I’d like any and all game suggestions (even if they cost money), here are a few I enjoy.

- stardew valley
- good pizza great pizza
- historical dress up
- animal crossing (iOS)
- little misfortune
- papers please
- overboard

A few more I’m forgetting.

Basically I do love a game that progresses.

Stardew is my favorite right now, I tried Japan rural and didn’t like it. Please give me suggestions!!!

Really looking forward to this puzzler

Hey, got a couple flights, looking for recommendations for iOS ARPGs/RPGs.

Maybe there’s some gems I haven’t played yet.

I’m not into turn based tactical style RPGs…. I’m more into the path of exile style, kill, loot, build etc.

I’m more into action than story.

Thanks!

Found out today that my current iOS game obsession will no longer be available to play at the end of November. Does anyone know of a tower defense game that is similar to Defend the Castle?

I like how the towers and monsters have an element, and one type is super effective against another in the options. But within those elements there are several towers you can get. You can merge cards to potentially level them up to stronger towers. You choose your towers from 3 random cards picked after a certain amount of time/monsters killed.

It was a simple game that required just enough thought to keep it interesting, but you weren't missing out if you skipped a few days or weeks. Looking for something with a similar feel.

Ads have been becoming more and more difficult to simply watch and exit out of. You have to trigger the App Store multiple times, repeatedly press the tiny “x” while different ads try to mask it, and some ads open up other apps entirely. Is there a way to keep an ad from force-opening and switching to other apps?
