Balatro. Into the Breach. Dead Cells. Slay the Spire.
All have Play Store versions and all kick ass.
No shot dead cells is on mobile, how
Adding to this: Ascension, Luck Be a Landlord, Slice & Dice, Peglin? (Peglin is great on the computer, but I see it’s free with in-app purchases on my phones so I’m a little sus about that)
The in-app purchase is just to unlock the full game. You can play the first map for free.
That’s cool! I am no longer sus.
Ascension has in app purchases but they’re to unlock whole expansions of the card game, and they’re “buy once keep forever” even across the game switching owners and interfaces (unfortunately to its detriment, but it’s still fun). The expansions are like 30+USD for the physical card game and like 5-7 for the computer/phone version, so decently priced. I got some on sale for like three money.
Is Into the Breach still only for Netflix customers on mobile?
No, you can play the Switch version with Emulation and it works perfectly with just touchscreen controls.
Clever idea!
Ah, maybe?
Balatro
Emulators and rom hacks! That's what I always loved doing.

Anything by Yiotro. . They're all free, with no ads or microtransactions and no data transfer anywhere. It is surprising how little battery they eat up due to this. Most of them are some form of "popular game devolved a bit to make it play easy on a phone, including the ability to just bail at any moment", i.e. Vodobanka is basically Doorkickers without the bells and whistles. Antiyoy is distilled Civ and has the same addiction loop of one more round.
Unciv is pretty good!
Whole hours flew by when I installed that. The AI seems weaker than the desktop version, but it's still fun
Polytopia: small simplified 4x type game Shattered Pixel Dungeon: rougelike Dungeon crawler
Don't know if you have to pay for these, they were free when I got em years ago
Polytopia
I think Shattered Pixel Dungeon is on F-Droid, so it should be free
Shattered Pixel Dungeon is the GOAT
Cookie Clicker
Mindustry. Might eat your phone battery though
Balatro, Vampire survivors, Chess
fishing
slice and dice, desert golfing, holedown, shattered dungeon
Dolphin, then download some ROMs. Legally, of course.
Or Moonlight/Sunshine to your home desktop
Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection
Are you a Stardew Valley fan? The android version is just as good as PC, the touch controls work well aside from being a little tougher to use the sword
Android?
Yep
Any preference for type of game? Willing to use a controller?

My recommendation would be to get emulation set up and take a small controller with you. Then a world of full quality games are open to you. Even if you don't have a controller, many games work well with a touch screen.
GOOD post
-
Wordscapes - super casual crossword+sudoku mix with infinite levels. No idea how unpaid version is though, I got the game a long time ago when going ad-free was like $1.99.
-
Archmage - goofy card game with busted mechanics and terrible art. 10/10 would recommend if you like janky M:tG knockoffs.
-
Magic: the Gathering: Arena - this can be difficult to climb as a free to play, but if you're good at Limited you can go close to infinite. Your options for Constructed will be choked, though. Still, its Magic on mobile you can play on your phone and has cross-platform play.
-
Quadropoly - free Monopoly clone that let's you play the game normally or change rules to your own tastes.
-
Any Kairosoft game - a lot of fun pixel RPGs from this company that are a blast to play. They have free demo versions and paid versions. I like Dungeon Village and Beastie Bay.
Vampire Survivors
Tap tap Reloaded
Love that game. So what’s your strat for getting lots of Yomi in stage 3?
I haven't played much of his newer stuff, but I like a lot of Arnold Rauers' games, especially Card Thief and Card Crawl
The Room series (1-3, Old Sins)
The House of Da Vinci series (1-3)
Meridian 157 series (Prologue, Chapters 1-3)
Legacy series (1-4, Reawakening) (not as good as the games above this)
Geoguessr
I think these are all paid games, fyi
EDIT: actually these might not be great for work.
The room. So good
OpenMW runs on android, pretty sure, if you want something a little deeper.
If you like roguelikes, pathos nethack is a banger
