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.

I'm sure it's possible to find older versions of the Alto games but recently they added forced video ads.

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.
Swordigo is the single decent mobile game. Still, I didn't expect to see it already mentioned. Neat!
Sky Force and Kittens Game are the only two mobile games I ever played and still have installed on every phone
Board game adaptations tend to be good. Everdell and bottom of the ninth for preference.
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.
Reigns is quite fun
There's an app I really like called Minireview, focused on finding and reviewing mobile games.
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.
Atomas is pretty fun, it's super simple and looks really good
Twenty is my go-to. Blockus clones are fun too, and there are a lot of game modes.
This Ars article turned me on to it. Maybe click through some of his other suggestions-

Retro Bowl - 1980s style american football game
Kingdom Rush has been fun and not needy. (The first one?)
Ive tried the second and it's good too. Pretty fun tower defense and no need to buy anything or watch ads.
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.'.
Just passing by to say that with a little fiddling, you can get Morrowind running on your phone, touch screen controls and all if you don't have a gamepad.
For some ungodly reason CA also ported Rome and Medieval 2 Total War - these are certainly not the best UIs ever, but it's pretty hilarious to see how far you can push the hardware.
I've been playing half life using xash3D for this very reason. People are on multiplayer all the time, counter strike has players too. I'm really hoping to find people playing team fortress sometime.
My favorite mobile games are
Don't starve
Dead Cells
Emulating old RPG games through Delta or Lemuroid
My favorite is Time Surfer. The core mechanic is basically the same as Tiny Wings, but the theme, artwork, levels, etc are all very different. I especially enjoy the chiptunes!
- 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.
