I just want to kill some time, I like simple arcade style games that aren't using scummy corporate sales tactics to get me to play every day

Sky Force and Kittens Game are the only two mobile games I ever played and still have installed on every phone

Alto - very calming and engaging game where you go down a mountain on your snowboard trying to catch llamas and do aerial tricks. Excellent vibes, no bothersome ads or micro transactions i think.

Night of the Full Moon is incredible.

If you have a rooted phone, an older android version, or the ability to access the android/data folder to move files around, I hear some pvz2 mods are pretty good. Only ones I can personally say are good are Refloureshed and Eclise, though it's been a long time since I've played Eclise. Both are harder versions of vanilla.

I Love Hue and I Love Hue Too. Also, My Friend Pedro. That one's pretty short though.

Reigns is quite fun

Board game adaptations tend to be good. Everdell and bottom of the ninth for preference.

If you like puzzles, horror and all things weird, definitely try some of the games by Rusty Lake.

The entire Cube Escape series is available for free (a sort of excape the room puzzle).

Minesweeper on fdroid

Monument Valley 1 and 2.

Haven't found anything that isn't microtransaction and ad-riddled trash or a port of an older game since.

I've rather enjoyed 20 Minutes Till Dawn

I've only played it on PC but I like this quite a bit as well

There's an app I really like called Minireview, focused on finding and reviewing mobile games.

Atomas is pretty fun, it's super simple and looks really good

  • Monument Valley is an amazing mobile game although not arcade style
  • Alto's Adventure/Odyssey are pretty solid
  • Duet is a great arcade style game
  • HyperRogue is a neat non-Euclidean roguelike https://roguetemple.com/z/hyper/

Super auto pets is incredibly based

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Honor of Kings is pretty good. Just ignore all the contests. You always start at the same ability as everyone else.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Try 'A dark room'. It's a bit different, but it had depth and your can get into it. I also still love 'Plague inc.'.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Super Auto Pets is one I like

There are plenty of puzzle-style ones like Sagadoku/Blockudoku, Minesweeper, etc.

Le Parker is my favorite side scrolling platformer on mobile that no one knows about.
