mobile game
Touchscreen pocket pastime
A mobile game is a video game designed to be played on a smartphone or tablet.
The category spans simple puzzle games like Candy Crush to complex multiplayer experiences.
Mobile games are often free to download but generate revenue through advertisements or in-app purchases: I spent way too much on that mobile game.
