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

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.

good ol' tetris

I've rather enjoyed 20 Minutes Till Dawn

[โ€“] Klaymore@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

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

Slay the Spire. Join us.

Reigns is quite fun

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).

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

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.

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

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

Minesweeper on fdroid

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.

Not on the App Store in the US but thank you for sharing. Hopefully android masterrace can enjoy it.

Super auto pets is incredibly based

[โ€“] Sadbutdru@sopuli.xyz 2 points 5 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€“] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Super Auto Pets is one I like

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

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

[โ€“] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

Dunno if anyone mentioned Badland yet.

Looks difficult to play but is so well designed that it isn't
