I forgot where I first heard about it, I think my brother may have told me about it.

Eye-catching title right? Reminds me of the name of a Japanese Movie directly translated from its native langauge, ya know "I Put All My Points In Defense Because I Don't Want To Get Hurt", those kinds of title.

I know the game is on Steam and is supposedly a collection of cellphone inspired mini-games, but I was wondering if anyone has actually played it and can tell me anything about their firsthand experiences with the title.

You may have heard about this on Beehaw! There was just a post about it here, including thoughts about peoples’ experience with the game.

I'm actually new to this whole "Federated" thing, so I did not hear about it here, but it's good to see people discussing it. How do I access that link from the instance I'm currently in? I click it and it asks me to make a Beehaw Account.

The way I did this was going to Communities, searching Gaming so I would get gaming@beehaw.org, and clicking Next until I found the post. That’s how I found the post on Beehaw, too.

There may be a more efficient way to do this. That’s just how I did this.

So the gimmick is like, there's a lot of deceptive mobile ads that show simple but satisfying puzzle games, like unjamming a traffic jam or pulling pins the right order to let a guy free, butthen when you click on it, it's some totally unrelated trashfire of a game. The irony is that a lot of people would actually like to play the games shown in the ads, but they're entirely made up to trick you.

Until now; this game is a collection of the made-up games that appear in cell phone ads.

Having played it, I can say the games are what you're led to expect from the adverts. If they were actually on mobile devices, I think they'd be fine but feel a bit too simple for PC, in my opinion. They aren't bad but they're the sorts of games one would idly play on a bus, in a waiting room or something so I find they aren't engaging enough.

I haven't played it but I heard about it on a podcast I enjoy: Podquisition. One of the hosts - Laura K Buzz - seemed favourable towards it and recommended it to those drawn to that style of quick to understand but continuously engaging games with simple tasks to complete, and after listening it genuinely made me want to give it a shot.
