Comment on What are some good, non-microtransaction riddled mobile games? in ~games

Although these games have not been updated in a while, I would recommend smash hit and pinout by mediocre AB. These two offline endurance games are free with an option to pay for an easier difficulty and more modes (only for smash hit).
Smash hit is a simple game where you tap the screen to shoot balls at glass obstacles. You lose when you run out of balls, but you can gain balls by aiming for some specific glass shapes in the background.
pinout is a version of pinball where the board is extended upwards by a very large amount. The goal is to get as far up as you can while a timer runs down. You can extend your timer by aiming your ball towards white pellets, some power ups, and towards some quick mini game segments that provide a nice change of pace. Note that pinout has not had an update in 6 years and the game may not occupy the entirety of your screen if you have a larger device.

The best part about all of this is that no glitches are involved.
You start off by picking up an explosive weapon with high knock back, but low damage in order to rocket jump onto the wings of a stationary plane. Once you are on top of the plane you will need to activate an item that makes you invulnerable in order to avoid being flung off of it once it starts moving. After jumping off of the plane you are now free to explore the roof of a fortress with reasonably complete geometry for something that is out of bounds after walking a bit.
In addition to gaining access to the out of bounds area you could use an emp pistol to gain access to a vehicle that isn’t in the built in level editor. This vehicle would later be added into the built in level editor of a rereleased version of the game about 10 years after the original game came out.

Comment on Introducing Surfboard for Tildes in ~tildes
NomadicSpark LinkThank you for the app, the ui looks very clean and feels familiar as a former apollo user. I also haven’t run into any bugs. Are there plans to port over some colorschemes such as gruvbox later on?Thank you for the app, the ui looks very clean and feels familiar as a former apollo user. I also haven’t run into any bugs.

I also liked playing 2 minute chess matches on the lichess or chess. com app.
The bullet hell monday series (excluding bullet hell monday black) features upgradable ships. It has an objective based progression system where you need to obtain a certain amount of points from completing objectives before moving onto a boss level.
This series originally released for mobile devices, but it recently became available on steam as well.
