About

Pocket Finds started as a shared chat where a few of us kept dumping screenshots of odd little games nobody else was covering. At some point the list got too long for a group chat, so we turned it into a site. We're a tiny editorial team, no publisher behind us, no marketing calendar telling us what to hype.,What we care about is whether a game feels good in your hands. Mobile is a weird platform: a clever idea can be ruined by bad touch controls, and a simple loop can shine because it respects a bus ride's worth of attention. We try to describe that feeling plainly.,We pick games by playing a lot of them. Some come from reader tips, some we stumble on while browsing late at night. A game only gets a full review once someone on the team has actually finished a decent chunk of it, not just the tutorial.,We don't take money to review anything, and we say when we didn't like something. If a game is thin or annoying, we'll tell you. That's the whole point of a small independent site.
