There is a surprising number of gems in F-Droid. Simon Taltham's Puzzles is excellent, as is Breakout 71. Shattered Pixel Dungeon is fun too, and of course I live emulating games with Retroarch. Lichess is neat and has a lovely Android client if you play chess.

Any other good games on F-Droid?

I am moving to Piefed at scallisto@retrofed.com (https://retrofed.com/u/scallisto)

Frozen Bubble, VCMI & Powder Game.

Russian roulette but instead of pulling the trigger on a revolver, I install apps at random and see if my phone gets assimilated into a Muscovite cryptominer botnet.

Block drop, a tetris clone. Also OpenMW but you need to buy Morrowind to play that

Idle Fantasy is really great. I love it.

Currently playing MA Pipes. It's a nice puzzle game.

I'll check Block Drop out! Searching for it also pops up a Blokus clone, didn't know that existed!

Idle Fantasy. An offline idle game. To have quicker updates you can add their repo.

Feudal Tactics

Ю маст бе токинг абаут гугель плей хере.

Gurgle (wordle clone) and Gridle, word games. Cards With Cats is very good if you like to play Hearts. Ball2box, it's all in the name. Super Retro Mega Wars has some serviceable classics like asteroids and Tetris. SuperTuxKart is alright. Simple Solitaire Collection isn't maintained anymore, but hasn't been surpassed yet on f droid imo. Getting good mileage out of Lemuroid of course, the console emulator for people who don't like configuring things.

Ooh, this looks really neat!

That looks pretty cool :D

Wow that's a lot of good ones!

Yeah I used to just go on f-droid and scroll for a few hours to see what was out there and what would catch my eye. Sometimes you don't know what you're looking for until you see it. Wouldn't dream of going on the play store and just browse by category, but on f-droid it's doable.

Just mainly wanted to give a shout out to Cards With Cats, because it's so well made and cute and challenging and somehow never ends up on people's favorites lists.

Unciv -remake of civ 5

Cats are indeed very cute! Super Retro Mega Wars looks super well made as well

Open Sudoku is neat if you like Sudoku.

I really like Gaugin. It is similar to SoDuKo, but a little more math.
I also like to play Freebloks, which is like the board game Blokus.

Is it any better than the original (the graphics are horrendous and the tutorial not very good)?

Anityoy

A bit little risk and settlers of catan combined

Vector Pinball is a simple way to pass some time if you enjoy pinball.

Endless Sky is a fun lil classic space game.

idle fantasy

1. Install Termux
2. Run this harmless Russian roulette bash script
3. Repeat step 2 for infinite fun

[ $[ $RANDOM % 6 ] == 0 ] && echo fail || echo pass;

There are many 2048 clones out there, but this is the best I have found on F-Droid

Breakout 71

I like HyperRogue and recently installed Braincup, but that's a bit intense.

Never seen cyrillic english before. Hauc.

Do you play OpenMW on a phone? Is that comfortable?

Shattered Pixel Dungeon

It's fine, but I use a controller lol

So much fun and no in app purchases in sight.

This game was too much for my simple mind when I tried it. Maybe I should give it another shot.

Some Links:

Blockdrop

Breakout 7.1

Endless sky

Freebloks

HyperRogue

Shattered Pixel Dungeon

Unciv

Mindustry

Thanks for the links

Open Sudoku

We're talking about F-Droid, not the Play Store.

Ah, I love that dev's work. Always with the original stuff.

Anyway, I recognise that game as an old classic. I wouldn't really say "Catan" because the regions don't have specific resources, but yeah, kinda like Risk with special units. There's also a deep campaign version of it online:

Lato is kind of Zen

tactics Master is fun if you like chess stuff

freecell4 is actually pretty good representation of the original if you like Free cell

tower defense has a few good options like anuto or chip defense

I play the puzzles game you mentioned most often though it's just got so many options. been into unruly lately

LOVE this game. perfect amount of time needed to play without getting lost in it. Dev updates and improves regularly. adds features and content all the time.

You're the best. thank you.

Unciv

Also works on desktop Linux

I haven't finished it, but I thought Xeonjia: Ice Adventures was pretty good. It's a combination of sokoban and adventure games where you navigate the world by solving block puzzles.

Neat! It's also available on Linux as well :D

It really is very fun, and I like that it auto-pauses when you let go of the paddle
