Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best small-size games for iPhone?
The Battle of Polytopia, Vampire Survivors, Mini Metro, and Reigns all combine tiny downloads with huge replay value, making them ideal for a full iPhone.
How small are these games?
Most weigh in well under a couple hundred megabytes, and several (like A Dark Room, Hoplite, and Drop7) are only a few megabytes — far smaller than a single video clip.
Are low-storage games worse than big ones?
Not at all. Many of the most acclaimed iOS games — Mini Metro, Threes!, Downwell — are deliberately tiny. Great design doesn't require gigabytes.
