I’m on the lookout for android games. I don’t mind paying either to remove ads, or to get the game.
What are some good casual ones that get you hooked. The only requirement is no ads, offline play is a plus. I’d rather pay for the game then have to deal with an ad-network. (And if there are links to sites with good lists, that would be cool to see too)

Shattered Pixel Dungeon. It’s free to play with no ads but I would encourage you to support the creator (who is also the mod of the lemmy instance) if you can.
It’s a rouge like dungeon crawl. You’re going to die and start over a lot, but totally worth it when you win.
It’s one of the few roguelikes that actually holds pretty close to the core of Rogue, too - completely turn-based, procedurally generated, with an emphasis on what you find rather than level-up abilities. Great game.
I should try the Cleric soon, I’ve just got so many other games rn…
Cleric isn’t out yet but I’m looking forward to trying it.
Bloons TD 6 is crazy good
Someone previously shared this site (darkpatterns.games) that reviews and filters games based on whether they have predatory ads or gameplay mechanics. Useful resource.
Some of my top picks:
- Slice and Dice: Rougelike dice based rpg with lots of replayability
- Peglin: Rougelike pinballish game
- Bad North: Real-time strategy game that plays well on the phone
- Baba is you: Amazing puzzle game
All but slice and dice have pc versions (to my knowledge), but all of them play perfectly on the phone and are easy to play a round or two at a time.
Agreed on Slice and Dice.
Lumino City is a beautiful point and click type game that I’m really enjoying. Paid. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.noodlecake.luminocity
i recommend Vector Pinball for simple fun, and Luanti (formerly Minetest) which has many gamemodes, including classical Minecraft experience. You can also just buy Minecraft.
Don’t Starve: Pocket edition is a fun paid survival.
60 Seconds is also good.
Vector pinball looks like a good time waster. A paid game like that is PinOut.
Dredge is getting a mobile release in February
