Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I have a Pixel 4a and it heats up a little playing Balatro, but all of the below it has no issues with:
Flipflop - a fun take on solitaire
Downwell - a vertical platformer
Holedown - an inverse breakout, minus the paddle
Desert Golf - a true indie classic!
Radiant - a Galaga/Space Invaders-ish shmup that's old enough to probably be lightweight these days.
anything by Kairosoft - a developer of sim management games I've been playing games from since I had a flip phone. Just find a theme you like and go crazy.
NYT games - They have more than Wordle! Connections, a word grouping game, in particular is fun, and so is Strands a themed word search. They're all updated daily for free on one app. They just lock off previous days' puzzles and the crossword. (Though they have a small quick crossword that's also fun.) It's actually discounted right now for an actual subscription
Reigns - I found this very fun. It's not for everyone. It uses Tinder's swiping to let you make decisions and try to run your kingdom. Good luck.
Prune - a puzzle that that relies on pruning your growing plant to reach the goal
80 Days - a narrative game with a decent amount of reading, as you attempt to buy, sell, and barter your way through your adventure.
Crossy Road - Frogger-inspired game with more maps and more fun.
Plague Inc - also a classic. Control a disease as you attempt to infect and destroy humanity. (This was popular before COVID.)
Burrito Bison - time your taps to launch your lucha libre across the map.
Super Mario Run - just simple enough to make you mess up sometimes. But it's not bad. I liked it.
