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.

No ads or subscriptions, no endless DLC.

Unfortunately, if you're looking for a free download, the game you're describing doesn't exist.

The closest I can think of is Postknight 2. There's unobtrusive (optional) ads, and the full game is playable—start to finish—without spending any money.

It's very cute, and you can get pets... but it'll take some dedicated playtime to unlock them for free.

No, I'm happy with buying games. Just no subscriptions or micro transactions.
