I just thought it might be fun to write up a very little article recommending three of the free and open-source games I tried and loved from F-droid!
Not only do I spend a ton of time on Android systems because I review retro handhelds, but I also enjoy exploring the more unusual corners of the platform, especially when they involve open-source software and games. I’m a daily user of F-droid (and have convinced my whole family to do the same), and turning my attention to the gaming side of things seemed a fun idea for an article.
In this one I try and show off three games:
- Breakout 71
- Shattered Pixel Dungeon
- AAAAXY
Read on if you’re looking for fun F-droid games you can control easily (which itself is a damn miracle) with the on-screen touch controls.

And if you’ve got any recommendations, I’d love to hear them!
Hoped to find some cool new suggestions, instead I learned about three games I’ve already got installed. Breakout 71 is absolutely incredible, and at 492 kB(!!) you should install it to your phone, tablet, and floppy disk right now. It’s also on the Play store, so you can recommend it to people less concerned with privacy.
I think I’ve played another variant on the open source Pixel Dungeon but after not playing it for many years I uninstalled it because Shattered Pixel Dungeon was actively being developed and it wasn’t. I continued to not play it. And I’ve never opened AAAXY so no opinions there.
