Mobile games usually get a bad rep as they’re usually asset flips and/or MTX-ridden and/or ad-filled, etc., and I’m sure this is actually the case for most games on the app/play store. But are there any ones that are actually good, maybe just something to pass the time with?
There’s a free mobile game called sky that I’d highly recommend, it’s extremely calming but also very well made.
baba is you is pretty good.
If you’re into deck building give “Dominion” a go. The base game is free (which is absolutely playable) and a good way to get into the swing of the game. The AI is a cheating bastard through, so either play it on “easy” or play with some friends. It’s SERIOUSLY addictive.
I mean… not sure if it counts as mobile but the entire history of console gaming up to few years ago works on emulators, so that’s a VAST choice. Sure you might dislike 99.99% but if there is even 0.01% you enjoy, that’s hundreds of games if not more!
Check https://search.f-droid.org/?q=emulator and consider a BT controller.
can’t forget about NetherSX2. It’s a little bit of a pain to set up but it gives you all the PS2 options.
Yeah game-enjoyment is subjective. Mobile games dob’t require a 2-hour tutorial before full game starts so people play them. I seen people play the “ad-spam” games on bus without being bothered by the ads.
Anyway go play sakura blade story mode on mobile the soundtrack is awesome.
For games currently out and available:
• Slay The Spire ( a bit more than just something to pass the time with IMO, but again, it’s a direct port from PC )
• SuperTuxKart ( I personally don’t like the mobile version over control issues I have, but it’s still real fun IMO, if you like good kart racers )
• Feudal Tactics ( definitely a time passer on smaller maps )
• HyperRogue ( trippy non-Euclidean game )
• Shattered Pixel Dungeon ( I suck at it, but it’s a fun enough dungeon crawler )
• Mindustry ( PC port is more my style, but fun base defense resource extraction game overall )
For games to come out hopefully soon:
• Maze Mice ( I’m addicted to that game and am half tempted to buy it on mobile when it drops if the dev provides a way to buy an APK for the game instead of going through g••gle play. Think Superhot meets Pac-Man meets roguelite ( rougelike? ) )

Scrolled the entire page. Just to not see hill climb racing, and slither.io
Breakout 71. I could play for 30 seconds or 15 minutes. No ads, lots to unlock. Really like this one.

Others have Mentioned Shattered Pixel Dungeon. Love that one too.
Here are some that I’ve played:
Shattered Pixel Dungeon - Roguelike
Endless Sky - SpaceSim
Simon Tatham’s Puzzle Collection - Puzzles
Katawa Shoujo - Visual Novel
Snoot Game - Ditto
Gurgle - Worldle clone
TuxKart - Mario Kart clone
yes, if you like emulation. Just put a gamecube in there, maybe a playstation. I had fun with hoyo stuff too, but fuck the gacha mechanics.
Tetris.
Maybe it’s not what you’re looking for, but classics are classics for a reason. If you’re on anything remotely standard you can find a port.
Only ports of premium games, mobile games ironically were at their best before smartphones, java and keitai games are all complete experiences and demakes of other popular games.
Was replaying Deep 3D in an emulador and was surprised how well it sill holds up, also Galaxy on fire 1 and 2, Asphalt 3
Also if you have Netflix their games there are good and complete, like Into the Breach.
