Are there any good casual/low-stress mobile games that aren't filled with microtransactions? For example: easy puzzle games, match-3 games, low-difficulty adventure games, or clicker-style games.

So far, the only good examples I've found are Monument Valley, Suika Game, and (sort of) Vampire Survivors.

I'm personally looking for games that have more progression or variety, but any suggestions are welcome.

The first link says not found :( maybe not available in Canada? Seems this one is a good replacement, will try it out? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shatteredpixel.shatteredpixeldungeon

Other ones say it was made for an old version of Android or incompatible, and can't be downloaded (I have a pixel 5 with android 14)

Short answer: yes.

Shattered Pixel dungeon is based on pixel dungeon, adds a bunch of new stuff and is reasonably actively developed.

Install from computer: adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block FILENAME.apk https://liliputing.com/how-to-install-old-apps-on-android-14/

I'll second Pixel Dungeon. It's the only one I've played, but it perfectly fits OP's reqs.
