I need some new games in my phone. I checked out the recommendations in the google play store just to realise, that they all suck. So I’m asking you, what are some lightweight(my phone is really slow so anything not lightweight will either take 40 years to load or outright crash every few minutes) fun mobile games you can recommend.

    Balatro does have a lot going on graphically and even my pixel 8 pro starts to heat up when playing it. The game’s art style may be pixel art, but there are a lot of shaders on all the cards and the cards themselves are either 3d or have some perspective stuff going on to make them able to rotate away from the camera

    also, there’s the giant shifting background which is another complex shader that can’t be turned off.

    I think the game has been optimized since release a bit, but still, it’s not just simple card images.
