I would just like to share Cat Bird with all of you. An excellent mobile first platformer that shows that on screen buttons can work.

Highly recommend Dawncaster if you like Slay The Spire / deck builders. I think I paid $6 for it and I've probably played 40 hours or so. Just an honest to goodness straight up good game that happens to be on mobile.
No gache/gems/freemium nonsense/etc.
The best mobile games tend to be ports. Stick Ranger is a good example.
Egg Inc. was alright but mostly yes.
Wait what? I understand the addictiveness and I spent probably a year of my life making eggs, but egg inc is just an above average idle game. It's problematic by it's very definition.

Let me introduce you to: Arknights. It's an anime-themed tower defense game, which is unfortunately a gacha but it's generous and well-balanced enough that if you don't want to you don't need to pay a cent, and this is speaking as an F2P player. And don't get me started onnthe story, which is amazing (though the first few chapters are a little dull).
If you are into racing games, I can recommend these confidently:
- Rush Rally 3
- GRID Autosport
Both are quite challenging.
No, you se-
Almost
Yes.
Yes they are.
Stay away from them on the whole, don't even bother discovering games through lists of mobile titles. Disregard any list that shows games that were not made mobile-first as a counter-example, those miss the point of the question.
I have exactly one game on my phone. Bloons Tower Defense 6. Without a doubt a great game!
Might not be your cup of tea, but I like Dungeon Village 2.
Sounds like Kairosoft?
Yep.
There's an Android app called "minireview" which has tons of reviews of games on Google Play and helps filter out the garbage.
Postknight :D
Been playing Oddmar, a fantastic platformer on iOS.
It’s fun to play on the phone, but getting a controller and playing on the iPad is chef’s kiss
I once had an android port of dune 2,I think it was of questionable legality licence wise.
I don't remember if it was in the store or if I loaded it.
I lost it's source but later another version surfaced, but didn't work as well.
I played through all houses twice each on mobile. Was a great time remembering my 1990's gaming.
Mmm.. I think I have that apk on my phone. Works wonderfully. There's a little button in the top left to purchase tanks but it doesnt work.
The answer to everyone looking for a new game is Super Snail, I believe full release is Aug 4th? Enjoy!
Moonshades on android is a good knock off of heros of might and magic
