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

With a little bit of know-how, you can get Balatro running on your phone, and Balatro is amazing.

To do it, buy the game then follow the instructions at https://github.com/blake502/balatro-mobile-maker

I just tried this, holy shit it works perfectly. This is real bad for my productivity.

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

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

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

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

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

I've rather enjoyed 20 Minutes Till Dawn

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).

Reigns is quite fun

Download TIC-80 is a fantasy console that also has an android app.

Inside it you'll have access to tons of games made for that console.

I've been some weeks playing "Shadow over the twelve lands" on android TIC-80 and it has been a great experience.

It's all open source too!

You could get some minigame type games from fdroid. I have a tetris game and a 2048 game from fdroid. There's also Super Tux Kart if you want something 3D

  • Another vote for "Slay the Spire", have bought it for all platforms and wasted too much of my time
  • Horizon Chase Turbo is a very good arcade racer
  • Danmaku Unlimited 2 and Danmaku Unlimited 3 for bullet hell shmups

Not arcade style, but Final Fantasy I-VI pixel remasters are IMHO great on phones.

Ignoring the arcade style preference: i like Cats are Liquid: A Better Place and Cats are Liquid: a Light in the Shadows

They are 2 platformers with abstract graphics, abilities and a sad(extremly confusing) story

Retro Bowl - 1980s style american football game

I use cutlist optimizer to figure out the best way to cut plywood panels, this confused me, as it's not a game. CuLTist is different than cuTList

Super auto pets is incredibly based

Sky Wings is pretty fun. It's super arcadey, has different ships with different abilities and shooting styles, different modes and difficulties. I've put in quite a few hours over the years.

The Flow Free puzzle games are pretty fun imo. I have most of the different ones installed on my phone, and some years back I actually bought a bunch of the expansions for the base version so I have a ton of puzzles to go through.

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.'.
