Do you know any mobile games that don't suck? (sh.itjust.works)

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

If you like roguelike card builders, Dawncaster is great

Dawncaster is excellent. I was amazed at how deep the game is for a mobile deck builder.

It also uses an expansion based monetization rather than micro transactions and the expansions absolutely aren't necessary to get a lot of enjoyment out of the game.

I really liked Dawncaster but then I didn't play it for awhile and when I came back it had changed significantly and all the builds that I used to win with consistently no longer worked out. Honestly it's probably more balanced now than before but I haven't spent enough time with it to get good again.

Honestly I’m just bad at it so I rarely finish a run regardless. But it’s fun at least, and I bought the expansions mostly to encourage the business model.
