I want to find open source games but dont know where to start. Any reccomendations?
Sometimes it’s fun to smash some AI in the game Feudal Tactics (or get wiped out). Not a thorough game, but it’s surprisingly repeatable if you’ll get along with its vibe.
And generally F-Droid.
For a more basic time killer, I personally enjoy Feudal Tactics. Basic gameplay of using units to try and defeat all enemies on a randomly generated hexagon grid map by capturing their tiles.

SuperTuxKart?
Any genres in mind? Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a pretty fun one, IMO. I like Idle Fantasy for its vaguely RuneScape feel (though it’s largely text-based, so don’t expect much graphics) while letting you queue actions up for hours of letting the game run idly. 2048 is classic. Luanti (similar to Minecraft) is available on mobile but such a huge battery drain I haven’t played it much TBH. And UnCiv will let you play a game similar to Civilization. I have all those on e/OS (de-Googled Android fork) and as I recall they are all open-source and ad free.
Mindustry has an android app. I had a bit of fun with it until it kept breaking on a particular level on my burner/travel phone. Not sure if the bug was because it was an old phone or what though.
Fruity game on F-Droid is good and simple.
Luanti is a great one.
That app is the sole reason I picked up the PC version. Such a fun game regardless of platform.
Have a look on F-Droid, there’s a whole heap of open source games on there
Grab Droid-ify (F-Droid alternative front end) while you’re there, and add some of the additional repositories it supports (such as IzzyOnDroid) for a wider selection.
ETA some of my go-to time wasters:
- Vector Pinball
- DropCount
- Fruity Game
- Apple Flinger
- Doors of Doom
- Gurgle (Wordle clone)
- Ball2Box
Nice recommendation with Droid-ify! I completely forgot about this, installing on my phone now too
If you use Shizuku, it can automatically keep the apps updated, too.
