Does an open source game from Frozenbubble or Super Tux have any types pf vulnerabilities to worry about like a web browser might or is it safe to just download it, with no worries. As long it's downloaded from safe repositories?

Assuming the worst, they might inject ransomware or other highest threat level malware to your system. Though it's extremely unlikely and the kind of app doesn't really matter as long as it's popular.
