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)

Be careful if you value your time

Best money I've ever spent on an app. When you break down how much time I've spent playing it, $10 is a steal.

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.

Someone previously shared this site (darkpatterns.games) that reviews and filters games based on whether they have predatory ads or gameplay mechanics. Useful resource.

I second Bloons td 6 and balatro. I would also add vampire survivors.

Bloons TD 6 is crazy good

Some of my top picks:
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.

MagnyusG@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
how many of these are exclusive to mobile? setting a lot of games I could get on a better platform
Auster@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 1y
None - all are multi-platform.
Valmond@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
That's a lot of games! (But no descriptions 🥲) Any turnbased games, especially tactic/strategic ones in there?
Auster@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 1y
Deep Down Dungeons, Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy VII, Quest of Dungeons and Tyrant's Blessing are turb-based RPGs, and Tyrant's Blessing specifically is a tactical RPG.
Valmond@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Thanks! That tyrants thing looks like it'd float my boat!

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

Dredge is getting a mobile release in February

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.
CodeHead@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Vector pinball looks like a good time waster. A paid game like that is PinOut.
