I’ve had a hard time finding quality games in there. Outside of Shattered Pixel Dungeon they are few and far between.

You're not wrong. F-Droid would benefit greatly from having some sort of curated "best of" list, especially for games.

That said, here are some I think are reasonably quality:

  • Mindustry
  • Frozen Bubble
  • Burger Party
  • Endless Sky
  • Vector Pinball
  • Surge Engine
  • SuperTuxKart
  • Xeonjia Ice Adventure

tried to just get the hill climb racing game or a similar one.

F-Droid has Lato, which seems to be in the same genre. It's pretty polished in terms of having a nice graphical style and music, but IMO doesn't quite make the list above because the gameplay seems a little simplistic compared to e.g. Hill Climb Racing. Still, worth a shot if you're looking for that sort of game.
