Simulation/симулятор
A laid-back fishing sim where reading the water matters more than reflexes.
★★★★☆ 4.4
Indie mobile games worth your time
We play far more than we publish, then tell you which pocket-sized games actually deserve a spot on your home screen. Expect honest notes on feel, controls, and how they hold up after the first hour. Recently we spent a week living inside Big Bass Boat, and it made the cut.

Why us
We actually play
Every review comes from real sessions on real phones, not a press kit and a trailer. We note where the fun fades.
No paid placements
Nobody buys their way onto our pages. Our ratings are ours, argued over in the group chat and sometimes reversed.
All genres welcome
RPGs, racers, sims, card games, tiny adventures. If it plays well on a phone, it belongs here.

Editor’s pick
RPG/ролевая
Emberfall Saga
★★★★★ 4.6
Emberfall Saga does the hard thing well: it fits a proper party RPG onto a phone without turning combat into a soup of tiny icons. Battles play out on a compact grid where positioning matters, and each of your four heroes has a distinct rhythm you learn to lean on.
- Tight grid-based combat
- Characters you actually care about
- Forgiving save system

Questions & answers
How do you choose which games to review?
We each install things that catch our eye and play them for at least a few sessions before deciding. A game has to feel good in the hand and give us a real reason to care. We also make a point of covering every genre, not just whatever is trending.
Do developers pay you for reviews?
No. Nothing on the site is sponsored or paid for, and no studio can buy a better rating. Our opinions come from actually playing the games, including the ones we ended up not liking.
Can I suggest a game for you to cover?
Absolutely, that's how we find some of our favourites. Drop us an email with a link and a line about why it's worth our time. We can't promise to cover everything, but we read every suggestion.
Are your ratings objective?
They're honest but subjective, and we own that. A 4.4 like the one we gave Big Bass Boat reflects how it felt for us across a week of play, not a formula. Your mileage may differ, and that's fine.
