    There are many good ones, will have to look them up again, but currently on mobile I have:

    • I Love Hue (a hue puzzle game, also has a sequel that is apparently even better)
    • Tiny Bubbles (Another puzzle game, I think it’s also available on PC)
    • Bowling Ballers (Netflix game, non-“endless” runner, you clear levels and get 3 stars, and there are about 5-7 worlds with ~50 or so level in each)

    I made this list by looking at the games currently on my phone and then going through my full history on the Google Play store. I’ve run Android since I first got a smartphone and it’s been mostly a game machine since then. I use a firewall to block internet traffic for most apps unless I want them to have internet. That cuts way down on ads. I’m currently using NetGuard. The list below is all the games that I both remember playing and remembered enjoying. Some of them may cost money and I got them when they were temporarily free and some of them might not be available anymore. If I have typos or if you can’t find one, let me know and I can get the actual link from my app history.

      If you like Card Thief, I’m happy to report that all of the games by the same guy are top notch. Card Crawl and Miracle Merchant are two that I’ve owned for years and was really hooked on for a while.

    Nonograms Katana is the only one I really play. There’s some optional microtransactions and a subscription but I have never paid anything. No ads unless you choose to see them (20 second video in exchange for items)

    I have been playing Melvor Idle for years now and loving it. It’s like runescape without the gameplay. It brings back memories of the good old days of runescape botting. If you’re a fan of watching number go up then it’s worth a try.

    It does have a premium version and DLCs but it’s a good value and only a one time payment. I still haven’t bought any of the DLCs because I’m waiting until I 100% the base game so I’ve gotten over a year of entertainment for $10.

    Slice & Dice is a great RPG strategy game where your heroes have their abilities on dice and you know your enemy’s actions so can plan which abilities you’ll need. I’ve been playing it off and on for a while now. The demo is good and I bought the full game pretty quickly. No additional costs or ads.

    I have not played any mobile game recently, I play emulated games and streaming PC games on my mobile instead.

    But I used to love these games:

    • Bejeweled (technically a PC game first, but perfect for mobile)
    • Angry Bird OG
    • Plants vs Zombies OG
    • Egg, Inc
    • Rebuild
    • Plague Inc

    I probably missed some other gems because it has been a long time since I played true mobile games.

    I’m legitimately addicted to Umamusume Pretty Derby, which is a gacha game but I’ve been playing for many months and while you can give them money they don’t really push it very hard. There’s a surprising amount of depth.

    I also like idlers, shout-out to Almost A Hero and the hilariously unhinged Crush Crush.

    For a more traditional timewaster I also play a lot of Downwell.

      I’ve seen so much Umamusume Pretty Derby art and propaganda on my Tumblr, and now it just got best ongoing game award or smth at The Game Awards, so I’m slowly becoming convinced. I’m just nervous to add another gacha to my list 😅

        It’s a fun sports management game. The races are often very exciting, you can skip them for time but I almost never skip races that might be close and find myself shouting encouragement at my phone in public, lol.

        You could always watch the original anime or the absolutely phenomenal Cinderella Gray spinoff, see how it strikes you. Legitimately pretty great sports drama and the characters are a lot of fun.

        If you do play, send me your Trainer code!

    I liked a few. Some are no longer available though. I haven’t really looked for new games in a while. The Room was a great series of puzzle games. Dungeons of Dreadrock was also pretty decent.
