Text Based Mobile Game Thread

I am thinking about taking a popular browser type text based game and releasing it as a mobile game, but I'm not sure how this will pan out as that genre is long past it's expiry date.

The plan is to incorporate more images into the game than a usual text based game; say showing an animation for movement over a background image. But when interacting with other people in the game, or fighting, it will be selecting an action and the results appearing as text. I'm a bit unsure how this idea will go on the mobile market, but I have seen some pretty successful card games on mobile.

The idea is still just a seed, so I'm being pretty vague, but just wanting to know what you guys think before I spend more time developing the idea

It sounds good, of course a game like that is all storyboard, you would need some good writing. It doesn't sound like something I would pick up while riding the bus home from work, when I need a simple game to 'rest' with..
Of course my inclination would be that SFX and music would also help make/break the game conceptually, to make up for the vidual action

I signed up yesterday at IndieDB to expose my project I'm working a few weeks ago and today I decided to check the community when I see your post. The idea is basically what you described here. Text based games provide a lot of creative freedom. I want to see more mobile games of this genre out there, for sure.
