Skybound Mechanic

Skybound Mechanic is a gentle sim where you fix engines, patch balloons, and keep a little sky-town happy. The repair minigames are tactile: you drag parts, tighten bolts, and match pressure gauges with quick swipes.

Between jobs you chat with townsfolk who ask for specific upgrades, which gives your work a point. It never gets stressful, and there are no timers breathing down your neck.

It can feel repetitive if you binge it, so I recommend a job or two per session. Played that way, it is one of the most relaxing things on my phone.
