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
(just kidding there are literally no good freecell or solitaire games on f-droid)
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
Regex Crossword. Unfortunately it doesn’t have as many puzzles as the non-FOSS alternative.
I enjoyed Space Trader.
Shattered Pixel Dungeon, popular roguelike (as in, actually like Rogue)
Not sure if someones mentioned it yet but unciv is civ V
Mindustry, factory based sandbox tower defense (mobile Factorio)
It isn’t quite like Factorio.
It is better
on F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/packages/io.anuke.mindustry/
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.
Unciv, 4x civilization game.
on F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.unciv.app/
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.
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.
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)
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)
Feudal Tactics, conquer-the-world strategy game with randomly-generated levels
Sometimes a bit too random. The start positions heavily influence the winning probability
Is it an Antiyoy clone?
Antiyoy is a nice little game, it just lacks some depth IMO.
