There are a lot of good mobile games these days, but I’ve yet to find one I like that can be played in portrait view. I don’t enjoy holding my phone sideways. If they could figure out how to let me enjoy Balatro or Slay the Spire with one hand, I’m investing.

-Edit So grateful for all the recommendations. Keep them coming!

Mindustry is great and FOSS. It gets rather difficult, though. While it will run in portrait on your phone, I'm not sure I would recommend it there because it gets rather intense quickly.

The game needs keyboard and mouse, it's complex to handle conveyor belt hell wothout these.

Luck be a landlord. Addiction warning though

Solitarica is also solid

Try Pixel Dungeon! There's a lot to learn to actually beat the game but it's super rewarding when you do!

More typical "mobile game" fare than what's being recommended, but I did enjoy playing a fair amount of Sorcery Variants Daphne, if you'd like a first person dungeon crawler turn based RPG

I'd recommend Andor's trail. It is not a completed game, but a community built game, ad free, does not demand you to be in the game at any specific time.

Wordscapes is a good answer and all but he probably blocked you for a reason.
