Overview & Key Takeaways

There's definitely some kind of cynical take on the fact that nowadays, one of the biggest fantasies that games seek to let you live out is having any form of stable employment. That chilling thought aside, My Mini Shop Simulator lets you jump into the shoes of a solo supermarket owner and run your store how you want! You know the drill here if you're at all familiar with the management or tycoon format. You'll be running around the shop floor handling customers, stacking shelves and deciding how to organise your store. Meanwhile, you'll also be able to hire employees to help run the place for you, and decide what to stock, how to price it and when. ... [MORE]

It's certainly an auspicious time for something like My Mini Shop Simulator to launch, as

Discounty is also set to release

soon on mobile, offering its own

Stardew Valley-inspired

take on the format.

But My Mini Shop Simulator focuses a lot more closely on the actual day-to-day running of the store. You'll be managing it, upgrading it and all in all sticking closely to a worm's eye view of the employed life.

About the only objection I'd have to My Mini Shop Simulator is that there are traces of that old AI-art chestnut about. It's a shame as well, because all the original stuff in there has that rough-edged, loveable charm. Here's hoping that My Mini Shop Simulator ends up removing that in favour of its regular art style.

Still, in the meantime, if you're looking for even more great games to play on mobile, then we're the only place you need to be. Check out our list of the best mobile games of 2026 (so far) to find out what our favourite picks from iOS and Android have been this year!

The Convergence is a dark fantasy auto-battler that uses an isometric perspective

As we head towards midday, there's an interesting little iOS auto-battler that's just crossed my desk. That's a genre I've often expressed confusion about the appeal of in the past, but if there's one that can justify why people like it, I reckon that The Convergence, out now on iOS, may just be that! With its isometric perspective and dark fantasy world, it's easy to see that The Convergence may have taken some significant inspiration from the world of Diablo. In it, you equip your heroes and send them out, watching as they either succeed or fail based on your preparation. ... MORE(https://www.pocketgamer.com/the-convergence/out-now-on-ios/)

MoonDust: Cosmic Journey is an atmospheric sci-fi side-scroller with lush graphics

It's hard to really communicate the majesty and grandeur of outer space in gaming. I mean, there's only so many times you can stare in wonder at stars and nebulae before it all gets a bit samey. Fortunately, MoonDust: Cosmic Journey offers a truly visually attention-grabbing take on worlds of sci-fi and outer space! Available now on iOS, MoonDust is described by the developer as an atmospheric sci-fi exploration game. What that means is you'll have basic side-scrolling action in the foreground as you pilot your ship and avoid obstacles while collecting different elements, as in the background a gorgeous vista of strange alien worlds goes by. ...

Sally Face is the tale of one boy, his portable console, a prosthetic face and the horrors

The indie horror game is practically a genre unto itself. And with so many of them, there are equally ludicrous and disturbing premises for how the nightmare begins. But I think Sally Face is probably a standalone for its main character literally not having a face, and surprisingly, they're not the villain either! Sally Face sees you taking on the role of the titular character, a boy with a dark and troubled past, which is probably the best you can hope for, having to wear a prosthetic face after yours was destroyed. With the help of a portable gaming console that allows him to speak with the dead, Sal will have to solve a series of disturbing mysteries plaguing his home town with the help of his friends. ...
