Um, no thanks π§
Other's have suggested emulating PokΓ©mon. However, if you want a native RPG, the first six Final Fantasy games were remastered for mobile. That's five whole good games! They all have very frequent auto saving, so they're pretty easy to just pick up and put down.
These aren't arcade-y, though. Others have already suggested the best. I like Super Hexagon the most of the suggestions due to its simplicity. Geometry Dash is also great, but sometimes, it just isn't sightreadable.
It's not an arcade-style game by any means, but I can't recommend "Sky: Children of the Light" enough! My partner and I have been playing it daily for over 4 years and still can't get enough of it. It's hard to give it a proper description. It has a beautiful storyline with new seasonal stories that come out every 3 months or so. You play as a child of light whose mission is to banish darkness and shepherd spirits from a post-apocalyptic land into the stars. However, the real core of the game is the social aspect. It's mmo-adjacent (typical server sizes are 8 players) with other players showing up as other children of light. You slowly make friendships using in-game currency and gifting each other friendship levels. You cannot chat with others at first and must communicate through a variety of emotes until you unlock chat in the friendship tree. The way communication and friendship is handled in the game makes it one of the most friendly and least toxic communities that I've found on the Internet. It's also cross-play and cross-save between Android, iOS, Switch, PlayStation, and Steam. That Sky Game
Hill Clim Racer has been a long time favorite. Still works great in airplane mode and well.
Tetris. Pac-Man 256. Brick Breaker Quest. for Tetris at least you'll want to make sure that you've got an adblock DNS set up because it's full of ads otherwise
Little Inferno
Shattered Pixel Dungeon Loop Hero Pirates Outlaws
I install a few others every now and again to try new things, but it's usually ad-driven / endless predatory MTX bullshit.
Geometry Dash
Just installed it. 25 attempts in to level 1. This isn't for me. I get it, but its so annoying. Uninstalled, no regrets.
dungeon cards, shattered pixel dungeon, or just read manga
As far as puzzle games, SevenBloks is my most played game by FAR. I play on Toughness mode, and the games are pretty quick. Itβs a combination of equal parts strategy and luck.
For sports games, Retro Bowl & Retro Bowl College (American football) are the best $1 per game Iβve ever spent. Iβve lost track of the number of seasons Iβve played on both.
Tyrian. 90's scrolling shooter ported over and mostly functional.
Jetski.
Balloon Fight is hilarious and a stomper
Balatro, when it finally gets ported to mobile. It's probably right up your alley.
