That's a miniature game embedded in the mobile version of the site.


sort by: page size:

First link to a web game in my life that .... works on mobile! Well done.

There's a half-baked mobile game idea in that!

I'll have to look at it from a computer later. Too small on a phone.

It's some sort of isometric game with speech bubbles, but what is the basic gameplay?


It’s even playable on mobile.

There are native mobile versions of those games linked near the bottom of the page, too.

Cool little game you got there. Do you have this on iOS or Android?

Nice visual demonstration on the website. I'm going to guess gameofballs.com was already registered, and that it is not an iOS game...

Yeah, sure! The game is called Torn. It is a text-based MUD style game. People use lots of tools/scripts when playing it to improve things. Some mobile exclusive users do actually make use of apps like Kiwi on their Android phones in order to install userscripts and extensions. However some people have Apple devices (probably regretably) and as such are limited to less powerful solutions. Luckily someone made Torn PDA [1,2] which helps bridge this gap and give you some powerful tools that you can even use on iOS. If Apple was less restrictive with their browser it may be possible to do more in the browser without needing to resort to these in-app "hacks".

Cool, I wasn’t sure what it was since I only have an iOS device available to me. My first guess was some leaflet map with tiles of the game map, but this sounds more interesting to me then.

I've been playing the mobile web version daily since this hit HN. It is a great little game for those times when you are standing in a queue or waiting to see someone. Who cares who came up the idea first. Yours is very mobile friendly. Credit goes to Gabriel for that.

I agree. this would make a nice mobile game.

> It is a game making tool for phones


Hi! Thanks. Mobile is not well supported yet, but will be focused shortly, but for simple games for sure, the goal is to get a simple game out quickly

It's a fun app, not quite a game. It uses your phone's hardware in an amusing way.

What are the rules for the phone game you link to? I can't see them on the google store page.

This seems like it could make for a fairly successful mobile game.

Anyone know what the bottom-left app is? It seems to be a puzzle game.

Take a look at http://bitplanets.com

It's a game that works on phone


If anybody is upto it I think there is a huge market for these board games implemented for touch screen phones (because of the big screen).

PS: Why do I get the feeling that such a thing has been done on Apple App store
