They definitely skew to the pixel games and the rogue-likes, due to the limitations of a cell phone interface. But Idk if I'd call stardew valley boring.

I had a lot of fun with Slay the Spire and Balatro. There's a bunch of indie board games that are on mobile as well, Root being one of my favorites. And then there's all the digital CCGs (basically the only way I play MtG anymore is on mobile).

I would say the bigger problem with finding good indie games is the nightmarish volume of bad games (both indie and otherwise) that crowd out everything in the marketplace. I learn about the ones I like through word of mouth. Anything I just randomly install and fool around with, I inevitably hate.

Oh stardew wasn’t (ok, the start of year one, maybe)

Yeah, that seems to be the issue. It became so easy to make games (and now even more with vibe-coding) that the market is flooded, often with clones.
