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

Survivor.io is actually amazing and doesn't panhandle your for money

Bloons TD6 is great and will melt your life away

Pawnbarian is a good twist on chess

Hill Clim Racer has been a long time favorite. Still works great in airplane mode and well.

Tetris. Pac-Man 256. Brick Breaker Quest. for Tetris at least you'll want to make sure that you've got an adblock DNS set up because it's full of ads otherwise

Shattered Pixel Dungeon Loop Hero Pirates Outlaws

I install a few others every now and again to try new things, but it's usually ad-driven / endless predatory MTX bullshit.

So far, „sky“ is pretty nice

As far as puzzle games, SevenBloks is my most played game by FAR. I play on Toughness mode, and the games are pretty quick. It’s a combination of equal parts strategy and luck.

For sports games, Retro Bowl & Retro Bowl College (American football) are the best $1 per game I’ve ever spent. I’ve lost track of the number of seasons I’ve played on both.

AAAAXY is an incredibly trippy puzzle platformer available on F-Droid.

Other's have suggested emulating Pokémon. However, if you want a native RPG, the first six Final Fantasy games were remastered for mobile. That's five whole good games! They all have very frequent auto saving, so they're pretty easy to just pick up and put down.

These aren't arcade-y, though. Others have already suggested the best. I like Super Hexagon the most of the suggestions due to its simplicity. Geometry Dash is also great, but sometimes, it just isn't sightreadable.

Balloon Fight is hilarious and a stomper

Balatro, when it finally gets ported to mobile. It's probably right up your alley.
