Mindustry, factory based sandbox tower defense (mobile Factorio)
How are the mobile controls?
Playable for sure, but in bigger battles its complicated to keep an overview over big maps
Very frustrating for people with fingers.
(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
Honestly I much prefer playing on desktop, but it's playable on mobile if a bit frustrating.
It isn't quite like Factorio.
It is better
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
Feudal Tactics, conquer-the-world strategy game with randomly-generated levels

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!
Great minds think alike.

Not sure if someones mentioned it yet but unciv is civ V
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.
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.

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

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.
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.
I really want to figure out how to play Xonotic on mobile using cod-mobile style claw touchscreen controls...
In the category of "should be made available" here's some LucKey Productions titles that could be compiled for Android and are suitable for playing on mobile:
I (main developer) however do not own a smartphone. Come aboard the Colourship if you'd like to help out!
