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 one I like
There are plenty of puzzle-style ones like Sagadoku/Blockudoku, Minesweeper, etc.
Super auto pets is incredibly based
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
Dunno if anyone mentioned Badland yet.
Looks difficult to play but is so well designed that it isn't
Peglin is super fun. It's wood-described as a peggle rouglike
Fancade is also great. It's an open engine for little arcade games, so there's always something new to play. There's different modes like an adventure mode and a battle mode. There are IAP's but they're purely optional and very unnecessary.
I Love Hue, both 1 and 2
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
1010 klooni!
I just want to kill some time
Pokemon sleep and take a nap
All games I'm going to mention aren't sending me any notifications.
Square on top is a bit like jump king, and let's you disable 'unwanted' Ads. You're still able to watch ads for your own gain, but dont have to.
Divineko is a fun shape drawing/reaction game that has very fair ad placements IMO.
Xeonjia is an ice puzzle game (you walk in one direction until you hit a rock) that reminds me a bit of PokΓ©mon with its art style. I dont think it has any ads.
Those three are my go to's currently.
Puzzler / slight programming vibe: BaBa is you
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.
Card crawl
Everyone in here sleeping on pocket city 1 and 2. 1 is free w/ads or 2.99 and 2 is 4.99
Honor of Kings is pretty good. Just ignore all the contests. You always start at the same ability as everyone else.
Jetski.
Balloon Fight is hilarious and a stomper
Threes!
Tyrian. 90's scrolling shooter ported over and mostly functional.
Survivor.io is actually amazing and doesn't panhandle your for money
Bloons TD6 is great and will melt your life away
Pawnbarian is a good twist on chess
I got really hooked on Armory and Machine, there is an A&M2 but I've never played it.
Its the kind of game that only has a mobile version, it rewards you for coming back to it like any bad mobile game, but there are no ads, nothing to buy, and I don't think there is any data shared.
The premis is you are work on a machine, making it faster, better stronger, more automated, and more able to produce things. Things can be in turn, turned into items that let you travel and fight critters. The loot from the critters can be used to make your machine faster. Its all a vicious factorio-like loop, and show how fun these mobile mechanics can be when there is no company taking advantage of you.
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.
Lapse and Lapse 2 - clones of the Reigns game
Plague inc
You didnβt say what OS you were running, but if youβre running an iPhone, the original Sonic is in the App Store and is pretty playable on a phone. I also really liked Temple Run.
I've been playing Shattered Pixel Dungeon, which is an actual roguelike game.
Egg Inc is angrowth game that's silly and fun. Squad Alpha is a great casual shooter, and all ads are voluntary. (Note, this is NOT Alpha Squad.)
dungeon cards, shattered pixel dungeon, or just read manga
here is some variety:
Brawlhalla is legit, Shell Shockers is funny, agar.io is simple but dope
Hill Clim Racer has been a long time favorite. Still works great in airplane mode and well.
Little Inferno
