Not a "phone gamer", but sand:box is a great time killer that doesn't have any ads. It's fun to experiment with different items, or just set everything on fire and explode things.
Too bad it's not available on Apple's app store :l

I'm not OP but searching the Play Store for "falling sand" gave the 2 results above which seem to be what you're looking for
Make your own! There's a dozen "sand" apps on the app store!
Ones like these: here 1 or here 2. I'm sure there are others that don't have IAP for more elements, as there were a bunch of free flash versions.
I know it's not what you're looking for, but think of this as teaching you how to make your own pond so that you may fish, rather than me just showing you a pond to try fishing in.
Not sure if this counts, but ya know that old sandbox pixel flash game where you could put in basic materials like wood, metal, plants, etc and some stuff would burn or explode? Well someone made that into an app so I still play it a lot
