There are lots more but these are the games which I mix and play once a while.
Anyone remember Burrito Bison? Must be the last game I played on my phone and that was years ago. Many years.
Currently it's Theotown, which is basically SimCity but with very fair monetization and it has plugins.
It seems like you like puzzle games, so I would suggest Pic-a-Pix, Trees and Tents, and Hashi.
A few from memory that are puzzle type:
Phoenix wright series
Danganronpa series
Professor Layton series
Rusty lake series
Ghost trick
Nothing particularly unique - Stardew Valley, Minecraft: Java Edition, Minetest, Hill Climb Racing, Vector Pinball, Geometry Dash, Cookie Clicker, Crash Bandicoot through Lemuroid, 2048
Geometry dash is special, I remember playing it in its first years back in 2013-2015. It was cool then but never super popular, but man have they worked on it and made one of the coolest and most powerful level editors ever. Haven't played it myself since back then but my younger half-brother and all his friends are crazy about it, and I keep up to date with the unbelievable levels people make. And the frame perfect world records.
Super auto pets.
i've severely pruned my games list over the years. the ones which still survive are simon tatham's puzzles, lichess, forkyz (from f-droid), chess pro, 6 takes, pudding monsters hd, unblock me premium.
that last one, quite appropriately, is played during the morning loo session.
Mini Metro
Mario Run
Vampire Survivors
Card Crawl
Card Thief
Final Fantasy Tactics
Professor Layton
Miracle Merchant
Game Dev Story
Game Dev Tycoon
Motorsport Manager Mobile
Landrule
Reigns
Wingspan

Typically I don't, but in the past Duet was great, except I finished the game.
Auralux and SwordandGlory are the only two I ever open these days.
Maybe I'm weird but I don't. I miss those days of genuine well crafted smartphone games you bought once and played.
I bought the games I played but I guess a few bucks was too much for most people. It's just not worth shoveling through garbage to find a few gems when I could spend my time doing anything else. My iPod touch was my DS back in the day.
Http://lishogi.org Japanese chess, it's a website, but I just have it as a shortcut. Great way to kill time and stimulate brain cells.
I don't really play games but I do have Antimine that I use occasionally.
Basically just Fire Emblem Heroes right now.
I keep trying to find a fun game that isn't a pay to win where you need to whale hundreds of dollars for a -chance- to get something usable (FE Heroes is kinda like this but not too bad) but everything on the app store seems like garbage whenever I look. It's all designed to punish you if you don't pay enough money. I don't mind paying a bit for a game I like but I can't really find anything good.
I might end up just buying Slay The Spire, even though I already own it on PC.
GBA emulator + Fire Emblem ROMs ftw
All the way through your comment I was thinking, you should try Slay the Spire, but you beat me to it. Another one you might consider is Star Traders: Frontiers I don't think it has any microtransactions (it's also on Steam)
I prefer action games. I quite enjoyed the Space Marshalls series.
Clash Royale mostly and sometimes the Alto's series
Marvel Snap. It’s the best strategic card game I’ve ever played, although the meta bullshit does tend to get old.
Every single color made by Barte Bonte. I'm really hyped for Purple to come out.
Start with Green
Oooh, I've tried those games, think I finished the first two but just forgot about them. Thanks for the reminder! Definitely picking up the rest.
I get down with some minesweeper too, every now and then
Oh yeah, been deep into minesweeper a couple of times through the years. Specifically love Minesweeper - The Clean One. Very well designed both in UI and UX.
Shattered pixel dungeon. So fucking addictive and good
Yeah! Played that a lot a couple of years ago, and some of the variations. Ever tried Caves (roguelike)? Similar in a lot of ways but I like the design more.
I was trying to send you down a rabbit hole and you just pulled the 'no u' card.
Thanks
And completely free of ads, microtransactions, and locked content of any description.
That's pretty alarming that Legenbeary Games collects location and personal info. I would avoid such a developer.
Damn, I was gonna write a whole thing about that and say FOSS etc. games are especially appreciated. Sorry!
I use a couple of things to stop stuff like that, haven't found anything that works perfectly for everything but the most used ones I've had (to my knowledge) success with:
Adguard to block any Internet connection to an app. (Adguard website link)
Warden (gitlab link, latest release was 3 years ago but it still works for some apps)
Permission Manager X (f-droid link)
I'll update the post tomorrow with the part I meant to add! Just took my sleeping pills so it's goodbye working brain till then.
Again, sorry! I had this in mind from the start, just got so focused on getting links and formatting... No excuse, my bad.
I go through phases with games. I always have a jigsaw puzzle game going. Right now I'm obsessed with Killer Sudoku. I occasionally play Mahjong 3D or one of the tap-out games.
Anything I can play with a controller on my PC, because I can stream Steam games to my phone from my PC over the Internet and I have a thing to hold my phone with a Bluetooth controller.
I've wanted to get a holder to join my phone and controller, but I haven't found one that works with any of the controllers I have :/ I'm a sucker for buttons on the underside of controllers and the "official" ones available (xbox elite and dualsense edge) are way too expensive... And those are the only ones that I find phone attachment thingys for. I have a Gulikit KK3 and it's an absolutely amazing controller, only two small negatives are the lack of the above-mentioned and a headphone jack. Otherwise, it's easily the best normal style controller I've ever used (I have a deep love for the original steam controller, but mine died a while ago and it has some glaring issues that barely make up for all the greatness).
What do you use to stream games?
Thought I'd chime in and also recommend GeForce Now and Shadow for cloud streaming on your phone, both work well for specific games. Nothing that needs super quick response times and frame-perfect inputs, but more games than I would have guessed work great!
The SteamLink app.
I never thought of using it over the internet. I guess it must be working somewhat well. Nice and thanks!
