Egyptian Mouse Pounce. Fun simple card game against cats I like to play to mindlessly pass the time.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

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

Honorable mention: Tailscale+Moonlight (game streaming)

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

Cool app though

[-] lgsp@feddit.it 7 points 1 day ago

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!

Klondike Solitaire

(just kidding there are literally no good freecell or solitaire games on f-droid, go look I implore you!)

[-] felbane@lemmy.world 43 points 2 days ago

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

[-] felbane@lemmy.world 33 points 2 days ago

Mindustry, factory based sandbox tower defense (mobile Factorio)

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

It isn't quite like Factorio.

It is better

[-] TheLongPrice@lemmy.one 7 points 2 days ago

How are the mobile controls?

[-] murmelade@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 days ago

Very frustrating for people with fingers.

[-] redd@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 days ago

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

[-] felbane@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

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

[-] siipale@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

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

[-] felbane@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago
[-] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 23 points 2 days ago

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

[-] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 days ago

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

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

[-] namingthingsiseasy@programming.dev 18 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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

[-] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 21 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 16 points 2 days ago

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

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

It looks like it is build for a older version of Android

[-] redd@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 2 days ago

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

[-] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 5 points 2 days ago

Ooh, great point!

[-] felbane@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Great minds think alike.

[-] felbane@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Feudal Tactics, conquer-the-world strategy game with randomly-generated levels

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Is it an Antiyoy clone?

Antiyoy is a nice little game, it just lacks some depth IMO.

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

[-] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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.

[-] felbane@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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

[-] Jayjader@jlai.lu 1 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] nossaquesapao@lemmy.eco.br 5 points 2 days ago

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?

[-] MITM0@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

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