    Shattered pixel…hands down

    Rouge like rpg, with miles of depth. Can’t recommend it enough. It’s paid, but relatively cheap

          If you pick up a cursed armor or weapon and aren’t sure if it’s worth cleansing, throw it at an explosive trap, or throw a bomb at it. An un-upgraded item will be destroyed, while an upgraded one will not, and therefore may be worth using a cleansing scroll on.

      Free if you get it from github or F-Droid. It’s also open source, which I consider a plus

      Yep. I’ve sunk probably 60 hours into Shattered Pixel Dungeon. Fantastic/infuriating roguelike. I play with an s pen. Way better than a finger.

        I’ve played 530 games, so whatever that works out to. Ascended with each subclasses. Some people take the game to the next level with their dedication and nerdery

          Jebus. I’ve played about 60 games. Need to beat it with the dualist. Then I’ll have a win from each of the 5 classes. Game has one heck of a learning curve to it.

            Duelist is my favorite class right now. Started with the mage though since he’s probably the most forgiving to play.

            Huntress is brutal to start with but gets really strong late game.

              Huntress only took me like 5 tries to win with. Got some great items that paired well with her. I’m having a real bad go of it with the dualist. Been getting wrecked.

                If you find a sickle early, use it - it does a lot of damage and it’s bleed is solid. Similarly the scythe is broken. The flail can 1 shot people if you know how to use it.

        I’ve been playing off and on for years, but can’t get past about level 20. I suck so bad at the game but love it

          Ouch. Umm…start with mage and dump all your upgrade scrolls into the staff for a while. Then when you get a tier 4 or 5 armor, put like 5 upgrades into that.

      Pixel Dungeon and hence shattered pixel Dungeon are both based on a totally open sourced computer game called Brogue or BrogueCE (Community Edition) nowadays

      It’s not on steam, its just free on the web. Anyone who likes pixel dungeon should check it out

    Probably Unciv. Comes in at 22MB, simple graphics and all.

    But an absolutely stellar reimplementation of Civilization, and in hexagonal to boot! (Because hexagons are the bestagons!)

      sgt-puzzles is a quality package of fun micro games. (Also available in every *nix distro)

      I bought the original tabletop version of Black Box yesterday, after playing it so much in sgt-puzzles. (c:

    Not sure how we’re weighting size, but by ratio of MB to hours of idle enjoyment, I bet this one’s up there.

      That’s a ROM that could be inserted into any emulation app, mobile or otherwise. So, at best, a removable mobile app component, and even then not necessarily just mobile apps.

      My point is that’s not a mobile app.

    Probably VVVVVV. Comes in at 68MB on iOS.

    Absolutely excellent infinite life platformer. Yeah, it’s a challenge but totally worth it. If you like Celeste, VVVVVV did it without all the story elements long before. Oh and the retro soundtrack is aces.

    Super Hexagon is also great. Very lightweight at 31MB.

      Shattered Pixel Dungeon is the fork that has the most active development, if you’re looking for more/better balanced content.

        Shattered is a little baroque for me. The original was rooted in simplicity, and I think Shattered, while trying to fix the few flaws of vanilla, goes too far in the other direction.

    On Android:

    Godville is 24 MB, a zero player game where you create an adventurer who goes out and quests, collects loot and equipment, rests at town to sell things, tames a pet, joins a guild, etc. you can influence what they do, but they do it all automatically and you can just observe!

    Impossible Dungeon is 35 MB, idle non turn based dungeon crawler with incremental upgrades, I really like it!

    Not sure what you consider low MB, I couldn’t find any more that I’d heavily recommend at 150 MB so I cut it off there
