Shattered Pixel Dungeon, popular roguelike (as in, actually like Rogue)

[–] felbane 34 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Mindustry, factory based sandbox tower defense (mobile Factorio)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (3 children)

How are the mobile controls?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Playable for sure, but in bigger battles its complicated to keep an overview over big maps

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Very frustrating for people with fingers.

Honestly I much prefer playing on desktop, but it's playable on mobile if a bit frustrating.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

It isn't quite like Factorio.

It is better

Luanti a game engine that runs an Open Source massively moddable Minecraft clone, among other games.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

This one deserves a nice big bold underline, this project has already come such a far way!

Simon Tatham's Puzzles contains many classic puzzle games and many more that are destined to be future classics.

lichess has finally published it's mobile version on f-droid.

droidfish is another great alternative chess game, though with no online component.

there's also endless sky

Pixel Dungeon a rogue-like that is very like Rogue.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Since this is not updated or maintained anymore, there is a spin off with very active development: https://github.com/00-Evan/shattered-pixel-dungeon

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Ooh, great point!

[–] felbane 7 points 1 month ago

Not sure if someones mentioned it yet but unciv is civ V

[–] felbane 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Rabbit Escape, basically Lemmings with cute bunnies. Don't let them splat!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Thanks for this one. Hadn't seen it before and I used to love Lemmings games.

[–] felbane 10 points 1 month ago

Xeonjia: Ice Adventures, extremely cute sliding-ice puzzle game

[–] ace_garp 9 points 1 month ago

Box Stacker

A physics puzzle-game.

Join the sticky 'tetrominoes' to move a ball/box/car to the scoring zone.

Includes online leaderboard to view the solutions of players around the world. A faster finish with less total pieces is better.

Challenging and fun game, with a quality physics model.

https://f-droid.org/packages/net.artificialworlds.boxstacker/

Apotris is probably the best version if tetris available, and it's foss.

You can get a compiled ROM for GBA and play it on android with a FOSS emulator like Lemuroid. It works!

Does forkyz count? I got addicted into crosswords recently, and this one is nice.

I've played a lot of Lato. It's a simple skiing game where you tap the screen to jump and can hold to rotate yourself in the air. There are rocks and pits to avoid and coins to collect.

Good for killing awkward amounts of time.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Or should be made available

Could, then, people here in the comments bring FOSS games from other sources too?

[–] MITM0 12 points 1 month ago

As long as it can be played without any issues on AOSP/De-Googled-Android

[–] felbane 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Chip Defense, an interesting and challenging take on tower defense.

Thank you for this one, this is basically one of the games that I get advertised on Duolingo after completing a lesson (the "playable ad" kind) and it sucks me in every time. Nice to have a version that's FOSS.

Now, if someone would just implement a FOSS version of that "wooden screw puzzle" game I'd be over the moon.

Gauguin, a kenken style sudoku-like game where you place numbers in a grid.

A simple, fun math game with nice customization and difficulty settings.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Luanti, Mindustry, vector pinball, super tux cart and Tux rider.

Honorable mention: Tailscale+Moonlight (game streaming)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I never play it as it gets boring after a while.

Cool app though

In the category of "should be made available" here's some LucKey Productions titles that could be compiled for Android and are suitable for playing on mobile:

I (main developer) however do not own a smartphone. Come aboard the Colourship if you'd like to help out!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Regex Crossword. Unfortunately it doesn't have as many puzzles as the non-FOSS alternative.
