At my job, we have neither signal nor wifi in certain places (bathroom in the basement). So would appreciate tips on apps to kill five minutes.

You can download full crosswords on the NYT Games app!

[–] bluespin@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Don't you need a subscription to do any other than the daily?

[–] Nugget@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Probably. A lot of libraries have access to the NYT, probably worth checking!

Crosswords by Redstone has hundreds of games and can run offline.

If you like deck builders, Dawncaster is pretty fun, and saves after you finish each fight (be sure to get back to the "route" screen after beating a monster)

Peglin is pretty good, each stage doesn't take very long.

8 ball pool. The popups/ads suck, but you can play time attack mode on single player offline. Also a good time killer while online.

[–] freeindv@monyet.cc 1 points 11 months ago

I find that some of the neat low mental effort games that are filled with ads are actually fairly playable when you don't have signal to power the ads. Like "throw swords at this thing" or "draw lines to contain this cat" where each level is quick, simple and mindless fun but unbearable with ads.

I'm talking the games that are clearly part of some ad network where they all advertise to each other. The concepts are cool and I'm actually compelled to install some from the ads. But when each level takes 20 seconds and there's a 30 second ad between, I'm uninstalling. With some though, if you have no signal you get to churn through the levels and just don't see the ads

Either (or both) of the two games by this developer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/dev?id=8857752720402747582
