While many games follow familiar visual trends, there’s huge potential for mobile games to experiment with more unconventional styles - think surrealism, abstract, or even minimalist aesthetics. Do you think this would add to the charm and uniqueness of mobile gaming, or do you prefer the current trends? Would these art styles help indie games stand out, or are they just a niche for a specific audience?
