Games on phones
Mobile gaming is playing video games on smartphones or tablets rather than dedicated consoles or computers.
The format favors short sessions and simple mechanics—I kill time with mobile gaming during my commute.
Free-to-play models with in-app purchases dominate the market, making mobile gaming both accessible and potentially expensive.
