This document discusses the role and importance of audio in mobile games. It notes that while graphics quality in mobile games has increased significantly from 1997 to 2009, audio quality has decreased. However, audio is boundless and subliminal, and can be used to create a sense of control, accomplishment, and human connection that enhances gameplay. The document recommends using professional audio formats and headphones for quality audio, and suggests audio could be better utilized in mobile games through soundtracks, in-game music purchases, and voice interactions.
