Thanks. It seems like the message you see might be due, while misleading, to the device hardware rather than it’s OS version. At least that’s what came up as one of the possible reasons after a web search.
One more reason to keep “outdated” games still on the list, as they might work for someone!
Says it’s made for an older version of android, and won’t let me download
That’s odd, but also it isn’t the first time someone tells me that a game is outdated while seeming to be fine on my end. May I ask what device and Android version you use?
Thanks for reporting this by the way!
Underhand seems to be outdated
What does it say? It looks good on my end, with Android 14.
Can I suggest Drill Down
Yes, I’ll add this as it’s also FOSS. Thank you!
If you have other suggestions, next time please also provide a link to the game. This one has been delisted fron the Play Store so I found it on itch.io
By cross-referencing Chat GPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and the OG Google search, I’ve added the 120 FPS indicator (as 120FPS) to the handful of titles that support it in my list of premium games. Took me a couple hours to go through the bullshit they were spitting out, but it beats checking 100+ games one by one lol
I’m not sure any of the titles in the list of FREE games support 120 FPS, but I’ll double check.
Keep in mind that, as I found out during the process, if a games doesn’t support 120 FPS now, doesn’t mean it never will. The 120 FPS support to some games has been added long after release.
It’s still time-consuming and hard work, because I’ll have to check on ALL games in the list. I can’t just do it with some, or it will be confusing. I will think about it.
In the meanwhile you can:
check this list of 120fps games from June 2020: https://www.smartprix.com/bytes/best-android-games-higher-refresh-rate-phones-for-with-90hz-or-120hz-display-phones/
try asking Chat GPT or Perplexity. They can make a list similar to mine and divided it into genre, however I’m not sure to what degree they’re reliable
No, sorry. It would be too hard to check on all games and it’d be too niche.
Oh I didn’t know that
Don’t forget all smartphones—except iPhones of course—still use Android, which is a Google OS with Google services. In the smartphone world, there’s no real alternative to American companies. It’s pretty much an American monopoly.
That’s awesome! Also one of the reasons why I started these lists, to not forget games myself XD
You’re welcome :)
Unciv is there in the list, under Strategy. It’s on the Play Store too.
I shall add F-droid, github and any other source too when I have time, but I’ll need help from the community because I don’t know many of those
Don’t click it. It’s an ad for Tuta disguised as a tech guide.
It tells you to use Firefox+uBO to block Gmail ads in browser, not in the app.
Unless it’s a WH- question.
There’s a single transaction to remove ads. So on the Play Store it will show with “contains ads and in-app purchases”. It might be debatable, but I personally consider these type of games same as “premium paid”, because to have the full experience without ads you need to pay once.
I’ll fix it with better wording.
Thanks! Would this be helpful for cross-posting to that community? My goal is to have a post showing in these 2 communities, and when I update the original one in this instance, the update will automatically carry on to the community in the other instance.
I tried cross-posting using a function in the Summit app, but the updates don’t carry on… Do you know how I could achieve this?
Yup! It’s there in the list and a great collection :)
Hey, thank you for this great list!
You’re welcome :)
Do you think you could maybe add a small description for every game?
Sorry, I won’t do that. I think it’s easy enough to click on the links and check all the info on the Store, with pictures and description. Furthermore, I did not play all these games as they’re user recommendations, so it’d be too much work for little benefit.
They both always looked the same for me, but once I tried on Obsidian I could see the difference! I think it depends on what app the formatting is displayed on. Thanks, I’m gonna fix all headers
First of all, thanks for your observations and suggestions. I love to be precise with my posts and learning more about markdown formatting.
Headers require a space after the number signs
A question about this: does it change the way it actually looks? I’ll fix it, but I’d love to know if there’s a practical difference in using space vs no space?
I think “Introduction” and “Entry Criteria” should both be headers as well
You’re probably right, as general rules go, but the reason why headers in my list are formatted this way is because I wanted to draw attention to the actual list and genres, rather than to the introduction/criteria. As I’m expecting most users to browse this list when they want to checkout some games.
Each of your genre headers should get three number signs, since those are all headers that fall within the “THE LIST” section
I’ve actually tried that recently, but didn’t like the way it looked. I think something was off with the spacing between genre headers and first line when using three hashtags. Might give it another try soon.*
*fixed the genre headers with three hashtagas
Game achievements. Apparently now the app is being killed, but its features will be integrated somehow in the Play Store itself.
