I'm surprised it's not higher (or shorter). The amount of total garbage on the play store when I open it up is...incredible.

Its quite an acheivement to have a relatively low barrier to entry and whales everywhere and still fail

I would argue that a runtime of 3 years is fantastic, and if it isn't that's just indicative of an industry that is broken at its very core.

I read the article and they never said what “fail” means?

Obviously. They rarely make quality games for mobile and when they do, they quickly change gears to make it live service or subscription based and it's all downhill from there

I'm still heartbroken that Matchland was killed off. It was a really cool turn based match 3 strategy game that involved powering up warriors by connecting tiles for 15 to 30 seconds.
The cool bit was that you could go diagonally too and all the shapes you drew would fire off at once once the timer to draw them was up, so you could get all these huge combos on the board at once if you planned your turn right.

They even killed the cartoon network clone they released of the game too. I really miss them both, it was a really fun well designed game with cute art and music.

Good.

I really like The Tower Game lately

If anyone wants a recommendation, Line Chef is super addicting. It’s one of those cooking games if that’s what you’re into. Tons of features and amazing graphics and doesn’t get boring. Also essentially free but they of course have a store where you can buy boosters and lives, but honestly you don’t need to spend a dime.

Megaman X Dive be like:
