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!

    Oh no, you’re totally fine. And you’re not the only one of ‘that guy’ who let me know! I hope you’ll forgive me pasting a comment from above explaining my unexplainable stupidity on this one:

    because yes…I was a complete idiot and didn’t realize these were in fact on Play Store. That is unforgivable because research for articles is like my thing, but I just never use Play Store, outside of being for emulation on retro handhelds I review.

    Sorry for the confusion! I did add the callout at the bottom of my intro to explain my idiocy
