I hear Thomas Was Alone has a touching story. (I got it for free from Amazon but of course it failed to install on all my devices. Tried it again and it's working now!)
First I thought 140 (but that is not available on mobile), but Thomas was alone is similar... Ok, it's not number x number :)
"I don't want you to keep going..."
"I want you to want to keep going"
I didn't expect the game to have much emotional impact on me but that part almost brought out some tears.
Another relatively simple game with a surprising amount of emotion is Thomas Was Alone. It's amazing how much character can be put in colored rectangles. It's not cheap compared to many phone games but I was lucky and got it for free during a deal at Amazon.
Thomas was alone seriously this game is absolutely fantastic.
Thomas Was Alone is currently on sale for $0.99, I believe only until the end of today. I haven't yet played it but it's supposed to be an amazing game with a surprisingly good story and excellent narration.
Duet is a really cool and well made minimalistic, challenging game. You control two balls on a rotating axis and must avoid obstacles. I can't remember if the app even has ads but if they do they are very unintrusive. Graphics are great, controls are perfectly suited to mobile, and the game does a good job of teaching you to look for patterns before throwing the really challenging levels at you. It's also quick to just jump into and play a level without a lot of loading or dedication. One of my favorite time killers.
Impossible Road is another really cool minimalistic game. You control a ball that is going down sort of roller coaster road. Falling off isn't the end, as you have a few seconds to guide yourself back to the road before losing. The graphics are awesome and the controls are fantastic once you get used to them. Controls are done through touching each side of the screen to turn, instead of using the gyroscope, which I much prefer. There may be an option to use the gyroscope if you prefer but I'm not sure.
Relic Run is a Tomb Raider themed Temple Run that does everything better than Temple Run imo. Graphics are amazing, ads are non-intrusive, has both objective levels and an endless mode (though it must be unlocked), varied gameplay (vehicle segments, shooting, etc), and imo best of all there is no gyroscope actions (like in Temple Run where you have to tilt to collect coins and sometimes stay on the side of the track, in Relic Run you just swipe left and right between three planes; again I'm not a huge fan of having to tilt my phone to play games). My favorite endless runner, with Pitfall coming in at a close second.
Loop is a very simple, minimalistic puzzle game where you have to tap pieces to rotate them until the entire level is connected. There are tons of levels and the graphics are really. It's super quick to jump into if you only have a few minutes and perhaps best of all, there are no ads even though it's free.
I'm a big fan of minimalistic games. I don't like waiting for things to load or having to grind to progress through a game. At the very least Duet, Impossible Road, and Loop all fit this well. Just jump in and play without bloat or unneeded complexity.
Enjoy!!
Lol no not this one. I mean Thomas was alone. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bossastudios.twadroid

You control a nameless and faceless protagonist, who starts in a white chamber in the center of a high-tech maze. Your goal is to move forward through the maze by solving many difficult and intricate puzzles. Antichamber reminds Portal game series and Cube films to some extent, but with more emphasis on puzzle solving, sketchy graphics, and very little plot. Unlike in Portal or Cube, the protagonist cannot die, even if the player fails. There are no traps, and the only penalty for failure is tha... continue reading on RAWG

Thomas Was Alone
The player controls one or, more often, several rectangles or squares of different colours and sizes. Each shape has a name, and individual character traits, including Thomas, mentioned in the title. The relationships between the characters are conveyed to the player by the voice-over. "Thomas Was Alone" action takes place in a specific virtual space, in which some "Event" has caused the procedures of artificial intelligence with individuality and the ability to act without a specific control. Each entity is shown as a coloured rectangle. Rectangles can move to the left, right, and also know how to jump. Each of the characters has their unique abilities, in particular, large jumps or the ability to swim in the water (other rectangles die, being in it). When a player can control multiple characters, he can switch between them, controlling one aspect at a time. The player's goal is to direct the shapes to the exit points tied explicitly to each shape so that they all occupy that exit at the same time. Most often it requires particular interaction between forms for better manoeuvrability.

"Thomas Was Alone" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bossastudios.twadroid&hl=en is an oldie but there's a sweet storyline and you can solve the puzzles together.
Not on sale, at least where I'm from. (currently €4,99)
Thomas was alone has a great story. Never thought I would care so much about a rectangle.
I really liked Thomas Was Alone.
