The State of Mobile Gaming

Mobile gaming is huge, but I feel like a lot of games are stuck in the same formulas — endless runners, match-3 puzzles, and standard shooters dominate the market. If I had the chance to leverage a major IP and shake things up, I’d focus on something refreshingly different.

For example, I think a unique-style racing game could really stand out. Imagine:

  • Swipe-based controls instead of just pressing “go”
  • Gesture-driven stunts or tricks
  • Dynamic environments that actually react to your driving choices
  • Arcade-style mechanics mixed with strategy elements

Basically, a game that feels fast, fun, and creative — something you can play for 5 minutes or 50 without it feeling repetitive.

I’d love to hear your thoughts: What genres or mechanics do you think are missing in mobile gaming right now?
