Android games for girls? (lemm.ee)

Hi, I have a primary school girl who wants her share of gaming on the family android tablet.

While finding open source or commercial games with no ads that boys like is doable, I haven't been able to find the kind of games a girl wants:

with cute graphics

where you care for dolls or pet

no ads or subscriptions, no endless DLC.

Do you have any recommendations for android games that fit the bill?

The image is a screenshot of cry babies, a game that she'd like to play very much but constantly nags you to buy new content.

Have you tried minecraft? My 12 year old niece loves minecraft.

Also, pokemon. My niece loved it when she was younger.

Which Pokémon game would you recommend? She's tried house, go, and quest, but only liked the first.

Does she have a Nintendo Switch?

Not right now. Maybe in the future.

I personally grew up on red/blue, but I'm sure those will be too primitive for her.

Does she have a DS?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Neither, we have a Wii, but there is no good Pokémon game for that, afaik.

+1. My youngest sister plays some weird fake Minecraft clone that's free on mobile. I have no idea what the game is about, but she loves it and gets to socialize with her friends over there

probably minetest

yeah I've tried it, it's great :D

Minecraft is already free on mobile, via Pojav Launcher, lol. And VoxelLibre is a pretty good FOSS clone on all platforms.

I think you meant minetest with a Minecraft mod.
