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
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)
Egyptian Mouse Pounce. Fun simple card game against cats I like to play to mindlessly pass the time.
Shattered Pixel Dungeon, popular roguelike (as in, actually like Rogue)
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
Mindustry, factory based sandbox tower defense (mobile Factorio)
It isn't quite like Factorio.
It is better
How are the mobile controls?
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.
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!
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.
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!
It looks like it is build for a older version of Android
Great minds think alike.
Feudal Tactics, conquer-the-world strategy game with randomly-generated levels
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.

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.
(just kidding there are literally no good freecell or solitaire games on f-droid, go look I implore you!)
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.
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
Talking about Games that need to be FOSSified, I think it would be cool if we had FOSS clones of:-
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!
