Hyper Casual Games Aren't Just "Simp..." Anymore

Lay people might laugh off hyper casual titles as “those endless runner apps with pop-up ads", but if your brain is still stuck in the "Tappy Plane" mindset... dude, it’s time to level up. These so called "stupid easy tap games" are basically the diet coke of the mobile gaming world – simple on taste? sure – but they got a sweet backend that keeps developers and studios rich AF.

Best RPG or Story-driven Titles For Nintendo Freakin' Fans

I know, I promised no formal fluff… okay listen: If you think all Nintendo Switch story driven games suck because you've played Legend of Zelda twice… maybe try Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Or pick up some quirky RPG where cats wear armor for no reason other than vibe 😸

Key takeaways when comparing RPG experiences across systems:
If your game needs loading times longer than 7 sec: YOU SUCK
• Offline play works better for commuters
• AAA storytelling doesn’t need a GPU hotter than the Death Valley.
🍄 Pro-tip: Try a title where saving is OPTIONAL!

You Can Actually Make $$$ Making Hyper-casual Janks??

  1. Low development risk - make an idea in 3 months
  2. Royalty deals with rewarded ad SDK's = more $$ 💷
  3. User testing is easier — no steep learning curves needed!
  4. Sponsorships and branded content work WELL
“You don’t have 3k players returning daily?" - Not everyone’s doing it right

To answer the burning Q from Grandma: Yeah those dumb games aren’t so dumby anymore!

So go play something fun. Then make someone pay you in ad money by creating something even lamer* smarter.
