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
dungeon cards, shattered pixel dungeon, or just read manga
Jetski.
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.)
Other’s have suggested emulating Pokémon. However, if you want a native RPG, the first six Final Fantasy games were remastered for mobile. That’s five whole good games! They all have very frequent auto saving, so they’re pretty easy to just pick up and put down.
These aren’t arcade-y, though. Others have already suggested the best. I like Super Hexagon the most of the suggestions due to its simplicity. Geometry Dash is also great, but sometimes, it just isn’t sightreadable.

I install a few others every now and again to try new things, but it’s usually ad-driven / endless predatory MTX bullshit.
