Download TIC-80 is a fantasy console that also has an android app.
Inside it you'll have access to tons of games made for that console.
I've been some weeks playing "Shadow over the twelve lands" on android TIC-80 and it has been a great experience.
It's all open source too!
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
I've been playing half life using xash3D for this very reason. People are on multiplayer all the time, counter strike has players too. I'm really hoping to find people playing team fortress sometime.
Card crawl
Honor of Kings is pretty good. Just ignore all the contests. You always start at the same ability as everyone else.
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.
Dunno if anyone mentioned Badland yet.
Looks difficult to play but is so well designed that it isn't
Everyone in here sleeping on pocket city 1 and 2. 1 is free w/ads or 2.99 and 2 is 4.99
I just want to kill some time
Pokemon sleep and take a nap
Try 'A dark room'. It's a bit different, but it had depth and your can get into it. I also still love 'Plague inc.'.
Puzzler / slight programming vibe: BaBa is you
Threes!
Le Parker is my favorite side scrolling platformer on mobile that no one knows about.
Retro Bowl - 1980s style american football game
My favorite mobile games are
Don't starve
Dead Cells
Emulating old RPG games through Delta or Lemuroid
Shattered Pixel Dungeon Loop Hero Pirates Outlaws
I install a few others every now and again to try new things, but it's usually ad-driven / endless predatory MTX bullshit.
damn i miss the old mario party for N64, i been meaning to find a good alternative free version
Wordscapes dont know if anyone said it
From their own description -
Try this addicting word puzzle game
Um, no thanks π§
So far, βskyβ is pretty nice
AAAAXY is an incredibly trippy puzzle platformer available on F-Droid.
It's not an arcade-style game by any means, but I can't recommend "Sky: Children of the Light" enough! My partner and I have been playing it daily for over 4 years and still can't get enough of it. It's hard to give it a proper description. It has a beautiful storyline with new seasonal stories that come out every 3 months or so. You play as a child of light whose mission is to banish darkness and shepherd spirits from a post-apocalyptic land into the stars. However, the real core of the game is the social aspect. It's mmo-adjacent (typical server sizes are 8 players) with other players showing up as other children of light. You slowly make friendships using in-game currency and gifting each other friendship levels. You cannot chat with others at first and must communicate through a variety of emotes until you unlock chat in the friendship tree. The way communication and friendship is handled in the game makes it one of the most friendly and least toxic communities that I've found on the Internet. It's also cross-play and cross-save between Android, iOS, Switch, PlayStation, and Steam. That Sky Game
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.
Balloon Fight is hilarious and a stomper
Iβm on iOS and actually pay for Apple Arcade. Itβs been worth it. I donβt bother looking anywhere else for mobile games anymore.
I got really hooked on Armory and Machine, there is an A&M2 but I've never played it.
Its the kind of game that only has a mobile version, it rewards you for coming back to it like any bad mobile game, but there are no ads, nothing to buy, and I don't think there is any data shared.
The premis is you are work on a machine, making it faster, better stronger, more automated, and more able to produce things. Things can be in turn, turned into items that let you travel and fight critters. The loot from the critters can be used to make your machine faster. Its all a vicious factorio-like loop, and show how fun these mobile mechanics can be when there is no company taking advantage of you.
The Way Home
Lichess :P
