I just want to kill some time, I like simple arcade style games that aren’t using scummy corporate sales tactics to get me to play every day

That’s OK, you can also play it if you hate Roguelikes.

Steepest learning curve of any game I’ve played. So damn rewarding though.

Knights of the old Republic has been on there for a while.

Emulators.

Slay the Spire.

I’ve never bothered to set up an emulator on my phone but it’s a great idea, any recommendations in particular?

GameBoy Advance games work really well IMO, they’re designed for small screens and lengthening aspect ratios leave tons of space for virtual buttons.

Gameboy advance games also make great games to play on a TV for the same reasons!

Vampire survivors is one of the best time killers. Slay The Spire is also fun.

I’d add Slice and Dice to that list

There is a curated list of “no-bullshit” mobile games, without microtransactions and all of that horrible stuff: https://nobsgames.stavros.io/

My favorites so far:

  • Monument Valley 1+2
  • Riptide GP: Renegade
  • Badland
  • Galaxy on Fire 2 HD

Yeah this is my goto time killer on the phone or tablet if I’m traveling. No need for an Internet connection so great on a plane.

Best value for money if you like deckbuilders and rogue likes. Fantastic game. The second one is coming out next year!
