The first angry birds had no microtransactions at all. Nor did the first plants vs zombies. They were good phone games imo

I’d love to install PiHole for them at one point because it gets rid of all those ads in mobile games.
Can also get an emulator and enjoy all the classics of yore. Chronotrigger holds up, for example
