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 PokΓ©mon. 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.
Lichess :P
Everyone in here sleeping on pocket city 1 and 2. 1 is free w/ads or 2.99 and 2 is 4.99
Card crawl
Slay the Spire. Join us.
I wish the cards were easier to deselect. Great game otherwise.
Atomas is pretty fun, it's super simple and looks really good
Spirit Island and Star Traders
Bloons:td6
Sky Children of Light
Rusted Warfare
Endless Sky
I Love Hue and I Love Hue Too. Also, My Friend Pedro. That one's pretty short though.
Bomb Club on iOS (was on Android at one point)
Honor of Kings is pretty good. Just ignore all the contests. You always start at the same ability as everyone else.
Balatro, when it finally gets ported to mobile. It's probably right up your alley.
- Monument Valley is an amazing mobile game although not arcade style
- Alto's Adventure/Odyssey are pretty solid
- Duet is a great arcade style game
- HyperRogue is a neat non-Euclidean roguelike https://roguetemple.com/z/hyper/

If you like twitchy reflex killers, two oldies-but-goodies from Terry Cavanaugh: Super Hexagon and VVVVVV.
Fun chiptune soundtracks, minimal graphics, and so much "I died already? Okay just ONE MORE try and then I really need to get some work done. ARGH - okay maybe ONE MORE try...." And when you finally succeed the dopamine is second to none.
Fellow Cavanaugh fan spotted!
There's an app I really like called Minireview, focused on finding and reviewing mobile games.
Sky Wings is pretty fun. It's super arcadey, has different ships with different abilities and shooting styles, different modes and difficulties. I've put in quite a few hours over the years.
The Flow Free puzzle games are pretty fun imo. I have most of the different ones installed on my phone, and some years back I actually bought a bunch of the expansions for the base version so I have a ton of puzzles to go through.
Decidedly not arcade, but I absolutely love Shattered Pixel Dungeon as a phone timekiller.
This and solitaire are the only games I would install on my phone.
Clash of clans (if you can be patient) games from f-droid
Machinarium
You could get some minigame type games from fdroid. I have a tetris game and a 2048 game from fdroid. There's also Super Tux Kart if you want something 3D
1010 klooni!
If you're in to a bit of a challenge then "Flow". There's many copies but I always played "Flow Free" for killing time.
- Starts shootin corrupting wand * Shatter Pixel Dungeon gang rise up!
Working on getting all the badges
Rodent Rush, highly recommend. Similar to chips challenge. Itβs iOS only though.
Slay the Spire.
Geoguessr.
Rollercoaster Tycoon Classic.
Can't talk for the two others but Slay the spire will kill you allot of time!
Dead Cells and Peglin
Dead Cells seems like it would be absolute ass on a touch screen, I've got 300 hours on it on PC but no thank you
You folks that like to sync a controller to your phone might enjoy it though
