Why us
Offline first
Every review says plainly whether the game works on a plane or a train without signal.
Ads and purchases, measured
We count how often ads interrupt play and what the paid version actually removes.
Battery and size
How much space it takes and how quickly it drains a phone — both are in the review.
We finish what we start
A review only goes up after at least a week with the game, not after ten minutes of the tutorial.

Casual
A slow gardening game with real waiting. Fine in short visits, tedious in long ones.
★★★★☆ 3.5
Puzzle
Rebuild broken radio circuits. Hard from the start and honest about it.
★★★★★ 4.5
RPG
A pocket role-playing game with a real story and turn-based fights you can pause.
★★★★☆ 4.4
Adventure
A gentle point-and-click adventure set over one summer in a harbour town.

Dust Rally
★★★★☆ 4.0
Dust Rally is the arcade racing game we keep coming back to: three-minute races, tilt or touch controls that actually respond, and no energy system stopping you after two goes.

Questions & answers
How do you choose what to review?
Readers suggest most of them by email. The rest come from what we see people playing around us.
Can I republish your reviews?
A short quote with a link is fine. For anything longer, write to us first.
Do you review paid games?
Yes, and we prefer them. A game you pay for once usually treats your attention better than a free one.
Do you accept payment for reviews?
No. We buy every game and every in-app purchase we write about, and we do not run sponsored posts.
