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.

Mindustry, factory based sandbox tower defense (mobile Factorio)

How are the mobile controls?

[–] redd@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 8 hours ago

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

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

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

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.

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

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 4 points 8 hours ago

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

[–] felbane@lemmy.world 11 points 11 hours ago

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

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 2 points 7 hours ago

I really want to figure out how to play Xonotic on mobile using cod-mobile style claw touchscreen controls...

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.

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

[–] redd@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 8 hours 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 4 points 7 hours ago

Ooh, great point!

[–] felbane@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

Great minds think alike.

Does forkyz count? I got addicted into crosswords recently, and this one is nice.

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

[–] felbane@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

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

[–] nailingjello@lemmy.zip 3 points 8 hours ago

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

[–] Godnroc@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

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.

[–] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 3 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours 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 4 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

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

[–] Auster@lemm.ee 5 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours 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 9 points 12 hours ago

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