Which riddle / puzzle / intelligence game I can play only with my phone?
-
I was thinking not pron style of game with difficult riddles, puzzles and lateral thinking solutions that I can play from my phone. I’m willing to pay (once) for a well developed game though.

Someone else recommended Baba Is You. Highly recommend that too

Depends on what you consider "lateral thinking".
My first recommendation would be cardgame roguelites (Slay the Spire, Balatro).
F-droid has some good logic puzzles (Soko++, Sudoku)

What do you mean by "not pron"?

It's been so long since I played a game on my phone but recently for nostalgic reasons I went looking for Myst. Not sure how well the puzzles hold up to adult me but i really enjoyed it when I was a kid.
There is also The Room which reminded me of Myst that I enjoyed.
I don't know what a "not_pron" style game is so I don't know if my suggestions are relevant though.
Cyan released a remake of Myst back in 2021, it works on iOS and still looks stunning.
They also released a remake of Riven last year, though not for mobile.

"Deer My Friend" is a great one I stumbled across, really beautifully made
Thanks for the tip!

A very difficult riddle game.

You can't beat "Simon Tatham's Puzzles" for a FOSS puzzle game app. 40 logic and puzzle games. Super simple UI, many puzzles have parameters to customize the difficulty in various ways. All come with detailed explanations of the rules or mechanics.
Various ways to get it. But I think play store is preferred. The f droid repo gave me a compatibility warning when looking it up just now.

Hmm, I'm not getting a compatibility warning on F-Droid. I'm on Android 15, are you already on 16 maybe?

Thanks! I didn't know about that community.
me neither. Thanks!

What the heck, I thought you were saying you don't want porn games. Flipping the letters like that is a common way of censoring. I was already somewhat confused, since I'm not sure, I've ever seen a porn puzzle game.

See if you are smart enough to turn the thing off.

That's awesome. Riven was a great sequel. I did notice that someone made a port of Myst and Riven for android. Looks like the Myst version requires google games to run and I dont let google on my phones anymore. I'll have to see if i can get them working for one of my devices. I bet if I searched hard enough i could find my original Myst, Riven and Shivers disks and run them in wine.
Thanks for the heads up though.
