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)

[–] stardust@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

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

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!

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

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] felbane@lemmy.world 34 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Mindustry, factory based sandbox tower defense (mobile Factorio)

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

It isn't quite like Factorio.

It is better

[–] TheLongPrice@lemmy.one 7 points 3 days ago (3 children)

How are the mobile controls?

[–] murmelade@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Very frustrating for people with fingers.

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

[–] felbane@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

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

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

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 days ago

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

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 22 points 3 days ago

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

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

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

[–] redd@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 3 days 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

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 5 points 3 days ago

Ooh, great point!

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

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

[–] felbane@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Great minds think alike.

[–] felbane@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] ace_garp@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days 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.

Klondike Solitaire

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

[–] felbane@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

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

[–] nailingjello@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 days ago

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

[–] felbane@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

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

[–] nossaquesapao@lemmy.eco.br 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Auster@lemm.ee 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Or should be made available

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

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

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

[–] felbane@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

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