This cute nuclear throne knockoff wants me to pay over $20 to play as the frog. LOL, no sympathy for crap like this.

My stubborn refusal of exploitative monetization means there’s really not much to play on my phone.

@KommaChameleon phone games are bullshit. It’s honestly insulting how, in the 11 years of smartphones that we’ve had, gaming on them maybe had a couple spikes of brilliance surrounded by generally utter crap and the business model around them seems dedicated to keeping it that way

@poss_bot yeah... plus the whole app-ocalypse thing (iOS demanding 64 bit apps and a reapproval for everything) means the back catalogue is pretty weak.
Also Candy Crush has been the top grossing game for about six years. Healthy marketplace~

@KommaChameleon oh yeah. All the cave shmup ports are gone :(

@poss_bot REST IN PEACE BUG PRINCESS

@KommaChameleon to top it all off, many modern cave games are hell to emulate and they seem to have given up on home ports altogether!

@KommaChameleon i don’t even know what the latest dodonpachi game LOOKS like and it’s been out for like... awhile now i think

@poss_bot I’ve been thinking about this. We’re at a weird point in time where the xbla/virtual console optimism is gone and those marketplaces are being shuttered. We lost, again, stuff that we had found. And because of the emulation difficulty, there’s plenty of 360/ps3 games that might just end up forgotten
