Small phone, slow data, or just tired of a game eating 4GB for no good reason. Every game here is under 100MB and most of them are better than the ones that aren't.
Storage anxiety is real. New phone that's already full, a cheap handset with 32GB, or you just don't want a single game eating a fifth of your free space. These games all come in under 100MB — small enough to download on mobile data without a second thought, and light enough that you can keep a dozen of them installed. Small file, full game.
4,003 games in our catalogue come in under 100MB. That is roughly one in nine, which tells you how far mobile has drifted from the days when a game had to fit on a phone that also held your photos.
The best fact on this page: Balatro is 93MB. The highest-rated game we know of, one of the best games of the decade on any platform, and it downloads in about a minute. Meanwhile a mid-tier match-3 will happily take 2GB off you for pre-rendered cutscenes you will skip.
Size is not quality. It never was.
Balatro (93MB, $9.99, rated 4.96) is the whole argument for this list in one app. Buy it.
Papers, Please (62MB, $4.99, rated 4.72) is a full narrative game about border control that fits in less space than most keyboard apps.
Tiny Wings (38MB, $2.99, rated 4.85) has been going since 2011 and still holds up. One button, one hill, one bird.
Downwell (80MB, premium, rated 4.71) is a vertical shooter built for portrait phones, with runs that last minutes.
Bear's Restaurant (76MB, free, rated 4.91) is a short, sad, lovely story game about serving people their last meal. Free and complete.
Cube Escape Collection (90MB, free, rated 4.91) bundles the entire Rusty Lake series of escape rooms into one download.
Okay? (96MB, free, 295K reviews, rated 4.90) is a minimalist physics puzzler that is far more satisfying than the screenshots suggest.
4=10 (33MB, free, 122K reviews, rated 4.93) is a number puzzle with almost nothing to it and hundreds of levels of depth.
Minesweeper (18MB, free, rated 5.00) is the smallest thing on this page and exactly what it says. Sometimes that is all you want.
The Final Earth 2 (46MB, free, rated 4.90) is a full colony-building sim in less space than a podcast episode.
Like A Dino! (50MB, free, 804K reviews, rated 4.92) is a rhythm game with an enormous following and a tiny footprint.
Rogue Dungeon RPG (37MB, free, rated 4.95) is a compact roguelite that runs on essentially anything.
Idle Obelisk Miner (64MB, free, rated 4.93) is an idle game that respects you more than most, and it is 64MB rather than the usual gigabyte.
Kung Fu Do Fighting (31MB, free, 302K reviews, rated 5.00) is a scrappy little fighter that is far more fun than it has any right to be.
Phone storage stopped growing while game sizes kept climbing. If you have a 64GB phone, or you are on a plan where a 3GB download hurts, this list is not a novelty - it is most of what is actually installable.
It is also a decent filter for quality. A game that needs 4GB usually spent it on assets, not design.
The grid below is everything under 100MB. Sort by Top rated, and add offline playable if you want games that work with no signal at all - which, on a phone you are managing storage on, is often the point.
