Free Mobile Games (non Gacha)


Hah loser.


 This isn't some scam post, or telling you how to get free games. It's more like ripping the ass out of them.

I play freeware games on mobile. Jelly Quest, Merge Hexa and an actual rarity, an ad free Solitaire game.

Motorola actually gives you some optional software when it has system updates and almost always its bastard awful. 

ADS

First of all apart from rare games, nothing is ad free. It may have some sort of banner ad and an unskippable ad for more awful games or crypto or dating, but at its worst it'll have multiple ads. I got rid of an old mainstay for putting unskippable audio ads in a level when I have the sound off. Also I've seen plenty of strange ads, one had weird lesbian shit in this (weird lesbian succubus shit at that) and they all routinely lie to you about the gameplay. 

Point two with the ads they are always with some sort of pseudoscience, brain training or boosting IQ, even though as one user found when hex editing, it routinely cheats. Finally point three, it immediately assumes you are a grandma in this and have never ever played any sort of video game in your entire life. 

99% OF YOU WILL NEVER BEAT THIS.

And its true. You'll delete it long before the game ends.

Part 2. Reused assets.

I wonder what amount of these merge clickers, word webs and candy kings, use the same stock assets, I don't know as  I can't program, but it seems that everything uses stock bits and pieces to put games together in Unity or some such. Maybe piracy could be a thing for this and rather than making virus in games, just put out a crack or trainer that gets rid of the ads for good.

Part 3.We lost the arcade.

I can remember about a good ten years ago. that Rev Flat Top aka Stuart Campbell, had a site up reviewing games for iPhone that were ad free. He called it the new arcade. The thing is, it feels like we lost the arcade. Nothing is proper hard, thanks to RNG and cheating, there is no skill in mobile (maybe pathos, but that's nethack and will own you.) everything is super easy and anodyne. No endless mode which I've always wanted for candy crush. No try again loser, and no lives or such. Its all easy.
