Here we'll simply share the names of some cool Libre/OpenSource Android games that are available (Or should be made available) on Fdroid
UPDATE--> You can also talk about what Proprietary Android games Should we make a FOSS Clone of
Luanti, Mindustry, vector pinball, super tux cart and Tux rider.
Honorable mention: Tailscale+Moonlight (game streaming)
vector pinball is amazing
I never play it as it gets boring after a while.
Cool app though
(just kidding there are literally no good freecell or solitaire games on f-droid, go look I implore you!)
Shattered Pixel Dungeon, popular roguelike (as in, actually like Rogue)
Mindustry, factory based sandbox tower defense (mobile Factorio)
It isn't quite like Factorio.
It is better
How are the mobile controls?
Very frustrating for people with fingers.
(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
Playable for sure, but in bigger battles its complicated to keep an overview over big maps
Honestly I much prefer playing on desktop, but it's playable on mobile if a bit frustrating.
Not sure if someones mentioned it yet but unciv is civ V
Luanti a game engine that runs an Open Source massively moddable Minecraft clone, among other games.
This one deserves a nice big bold underline, this project has already come such a far way!
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
Simon Tatham's Puzzles contains many classic puzzle games and many more that are destined to be future classics.
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.

Pixel Dungeon a rogue-like that is very like Rogue.
It looks like it is build for a older version of Android
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
Ooh, great point!
Great minds think alike.
Feudal Tactics, conquer-the-world strategy game with randomly-generated levels
Is it an Antiyoy clone?
Antiyoy is a nice little game, it just lacks some depth IMO.
Rabbit Escape, basically Lemmings with cute bunnies. Don't let them splat!
Thanks for this one. Hadn't seen it before and I used to love Lemmings games.
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.
Talking about Games that need to be FOSSified, I think it would be cool if we had FOSS clones of:-
If we are talking a about apps we wish were Foss here is my list:
Bad piggies
Stumble guys
Age of Empires (now discontinued but I want a spiritual community continuation)
Clash of clans
These two are already FOSS,
but I would be happy if H-Craft Championship could be added to f-droid. (basically wip3out hover-racing)
Also, Gravity Defied is an excellent trials-bike mountain climber, similar to xmoto. It currently does not install for me in f-droid.
For an Angry Birds clone, check out Apple Flinger
For a SimCity-like game, check out OpenTTD (Transport Tycoon Deluxe)
Chip Defense, an interesting and challenging take on tower defense.
I got really into chip defense. The concept is a really fun twist on classic enemy hp mechanisms in tower defense. However I think the game's controls design "scales" poorly with its difficulty curve. Building a new "tower" takes too many taps for the game to continue running in the background. Same for upgrading towers. The worst is when starting a level, you kind of need to rush placing towers to not mechanically end up in a fail state.
If the game let you build and upgrade when paused (or at least queue up those actions to be executed when un-paused) I would have continued playing it.
Does forkyz count? I got addicted into crosswords recently, and this one is nice.
Or should be made available
Could, then, people here in the comments bring FOSS games from other sources too?
As long as it can be played without any issues on AOSP/De-Googled-Android
