Here we’ll simply share the names of some cool Libre/OpenSource ANDROID-GAMES that are available (Or should be made available) on Fdroid
I really liked Flowit. I wish there were more of it (tho admittedly when I go back to it, I have often forgotten enough that it’s fun again)
Regex Crossword. Unfortunately it doesn’t have as many puzzles as the non-FOSS alternative.
1010 Klooni
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.
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.

Not sure if someones mentioned it yet but unciv is civ V
Egyptian Mouse Pounce. Fun simple card game against cats I like to play to mindlessly pass the time.
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.
on F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/packages/io.anuke.mindustry/
deleted by creator
cant find it on F-Droid: https://search.f-droid.org/?q=ignis
no, but you can download in the link that I shared
Which is now deleted!?
yes, I deleted because it is not from F-Droid
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!
Pixel Dungeon a rogue-like that is very like Rogue.
Great minds think alike.
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!
Antimine Minesweeper
Talking about Games that need to be FOSSified, I think it would be cool <u>if we had FOSS clones of</u>:-
- Plants vs Zombies
- Angry Birds
- Lonely Hacker
- Sim City (Any City-Building game)
For an Angry Birds clone, check out Apple Flinger
For a SimCity-like game, check out OpenTTD (Transport Tycoon Deluxe)
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.
Not on android, but it does have a web version with touch controls.
This looks excellent, thanks!
Xeonjia: Ice Adventures, extremely cute sliding-ice puzzle game
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.
