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!
Shattered Pixel Dungeon looks like a fun one.
I’ve never been interested in playing games on my phone but over the last 2 months I’ve actually been playing more and more. Mostly PSP emulation but also some Balatro and Don’t Starve.
The reply value is exceptional.
Shattered pixel dungeon is addictive–beware
it’s both awesome and quite addictive :)
The learning curve is steep. There’s a lot of subtle little bits to pick up on and you will die a ton. Very addictive and worth playing. Very good game.
if memory serves, I lost 48 times before winning my first game. Then it started to become more like a win every 2 or 3 games. Game has been around since like 2014 and still gets balance updates and tweaks.
Game is a lot nicer to play with a touch pen instead of your finger, IMO.
