Alto - very calming and engaging game where you go down a mountain on your snowboard trying to catch llamas and do aerial tricks. Excellent vibes, no bothersome ads or micro transactions i think.

Swordigo is the single decent mobile game. Still, I didn't expect to see it already mentioned. Neat!
Night of the Full Moon is incredible.
If you have a rooted phone, an older android version, or the ability to access the android/data folder to move files around, I hear some pvz2 mods are pretty good. Only ones I can personally say are good are Refloureshed and Eclise, though it's been a long time since I've played Eclise. Both are harder versions of vanilla.
Minesweeper on fdroid
Monument Valley 1 and 2.
Haven't found anything that isn't microtransaction and ad-riddled trash or a port of an older game since.
If you like puzzles, horror and all things weird, definitely try some of the games by Rusty Lake.
The entire Cube Escape series is available for free (a sort of excape the room puzzle).
Board game adaptations tend to be good. Everdell and bottom of the ninth for preference.
I Love Hue and I Love Hue Too. Also, My Friend Pedro. That one's pretty short though.
Reigns is quite fun
There's an app I really like called Minireview, focused on finding and reviewing mobile games.
Atomas is pretty fun, it's super simple and looks really good
Le Parker is my favorite side scrolling platformer on mobile that no one knows about.

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.
- 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/
Honor of Kings is pretty good. Just ignore all the contests. You always start at the same ability as everyone else.
Card crawl
Super auto pets is incredibly based
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
Ignoring the arcade style preference: i like Cats are Liquid: A Better Place and Cats are Liquid: a Light in the Shadows
They are 2 platformers with abstract graphics, abilities and a sad(extremly confusing) story
My favorite is Time Surfer. The core mechanic is basically the same as Tiny Wings, but the theme, artwork, levels, etc are all very different. I especially enjoy the chiptunes!
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.'.
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.
