What kind of games would you/do you play on a Mobile?

[Elcura]

Well, I'm doing a project at uni for some studio called blackball, and we basically have to design a game for them. It's a competition with pretty good rewards (though I have mixed feelings about them for personal reasons).

But the catch is we have to design a game for the mobile. I dunno about you, but I've never seriously played a game on my mobile (I wasn't even aware mine HAD games) and I don't know anyone personally who does. So I figured I would ask around and see what types of games you like to play on a mobile, as well as what kind of games you would like to see on a mobile if they were available. Though I'm asking you guys, I pretty much have to aim/market this game at non and casual-gamers (which is pretty much the opposite of mostly everyone on this board).

I kind of get the feeling that the studio is just whoring us out for ideas, they don't want a good game, they want money (which don't always go hand in hand).

I'm not a fan of mobile phone games, most complex thing I'd play is something like Tetris.

I play that snakes game sometimes.

Anything turn-based that doesn't suck. The majority of mobile controls suck for anything running in realtime, especially when you own a low-spec phone.

You making the game for a RIM, Garnet, or windows based OS?

I find myself playing the game "Bloons", on addictinggames.com, a lot. I also know a LOT of people who play that game all the time too.
If you could make a game similar to that for the phone, I'm sure some people would play.

Basically, what it is is that you play a monkey, and through darts at bloons. The one thing that makes it fun though if that you have to avoid obstacles and use strategies for some of the levels. There are a ton of versions of Bloons too, and if you want I can go dig up the main site. But, it would be a good idea to make something that was like copying that. It's actually pretty addicting, and makes the time pass by. Which is what a lot of people who play phone games go for, I think.

I've only paid for sonic the hedgehog. I think phone games are a waste of money, but I guess that's cuz I have a DS.
