The Three-Game Strategy via Sakurina
I keep talking about how people should have as little apps on their phones as possible, keeping only the apps they use on a regular basis on their home screen and apps they use occasionally stashed away, either hidden on a second page or hidden entirely [through the magic of libhide]. One thing is making it incredibly hard to do: the insane amount of awesome iOS games coming out these days. So here’s an attempt at keeping the number of games on my device down to three: the three-game strategy.
Why three?
- One game must be playable one-handed* without accelerometer input (for when I’m standing on the bus)
- One game must be playable two-handed without accelerometer input (for when I’m sitting on the bus)
- One game where anything goes (for when I’m at home)
I’m not sure how long I can keep this going for, but it’s worth a try.
And if you’re looking for recommendations for each tier:
- Standing on the bus: Any of the Cave shooters, Tetris, Words with Friends, Zen Bound 1 & 2
- Sitting on the bus: Any of the Rocketcat hooking games, Mushihimesama Bug Panic
- At home: Space Miner, Real Racing 1 & 2, The Incident
* This implies portrait orientation, since my thumb can’t reach the opposite end of the screen when in landscape.
