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
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.
Advance Wars is awesome. I played it only on mobile 😅
Basically anything really well rated should be fine!
I don’t think I’ve mobile gamed without emulators for like 4 or 5 gens of phones now. I was a young man back in those days…
Vampire survivors is one of the best time killers. Slay The Spire is also fun.
SLAY THE SPIRE!
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.
shattered pixel dungeom
This ! No ads, no in app purchase, only fun !
I have played it on and off for years. Once I get into a run, i play it out, but otherwise it’s easy to put down, forget about for a while. Great entertainment without the addiction
Monument valley is pretty good and has no ads or micro transactions
Slice and Dice is a good rogue-like dice builder with no bullshit.
No ads. No DLC - there’s a demo game and full version. And the mechanics are solid with no grindy bits.
Absolutly love this game, great replayability.
I have just discovered Card quest which is taking up a lot of my spare time at the moment.
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.
Probably not what you’re looking for but this is my favorite time-waster.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon gang rise up!Working on getting all the badges
Slay the Spire.
Geoguessr.
Rollercoaster Tycoon Classic.
Can’t talk for the two others but Slay the spire will kill you allot of time!
If you’re into Pokemon and have access to the GBA/DS ROMs, PokeMMO is a great emulator that adds online MMO features to the first 5 generations of Pokemon. You can take one character across all 5 regions, and there’s tons of QoL features.
That sounds awesome. I always wished to be able to visit other regions in my pokemon games. It’s one of the reasons why I enjoyed soulsilver so much
Does it have to be arcade?
I love “papers, please”.
Sky Children of Light
Rusted Warfare
Endless Sky
Into the Breach.
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.
