Nice list, will be checking out some of these as I've only been playing Sudoku lately. Thank you!

Welcome to Lemmy! Love the post and I look forward to more, just one small suggestion. The title reads a little bit spamlike, I almost dismissed the post as some sort of ad.
Lol! You're right, actually. But it's accurate, to the point and, I suppose, easy to find for users.
What would you suggest instead? Maybe removing the "100%"?
I think changing it to something like "List of my favorite 100% Free Games - no ads, no IAPs" should suffice. To me, that comes off as having a more genuine/personal feel
Thanks for the suggestion. I can't really say that because, as mentioned in my post, I haven't played all those games. This is a list of games recommended by the users that I simply put together for everyone to easily browse.
I changed the title a bit and I'll see if I can further improve it! Cheers!
Anything on F-Droid should fit your criteria, but here is what I have installed:
- Flowit
- Fill all boxes with the color of their border
- https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.bytehamster.flowitgame/
- Lato
- A downhill snowboard game with beautiful graphics
- https://f-droid.org/en/packages/ardash.lato/
- 2048 (Privacy Friendly)
- Try to reach 2048 in this puzzle game
- https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.secuso.privacyfriendly2048/
- Zoysii - Logic game
- A simple logic game: find the best path to delete every number in a square space
- https://f-droid.org/en/packages/xyz.deepdaikon.zoysii/
- Minesweeper - Antimine
- A puzzle game where you search for all hidden mines.
- https://f-droid.org/en/packages/dev.lucanlm.antimine/
- Anuto TD
- Another Ugly Tower Defense
- https://f-droid.org/en/packages/ch.logixisland.anuto/
That is great! I should probably start adding FOSS games from F-droid.
And careful throwing around terms like "100% Free" around here, considering most of the titles in your list are not free open source software in the "libre" sense that Lemmy users tend to expect more than Reddit users do.
Yes, thanks. I removed the 100% in the title. That was to distinguish the games in this list from the "free-to-play" games, which are free to download but then have predatory monetization through microtransactions, or ads.
Personally, I can see the difference between saying "free" and "FOSS" so I thought it should be alright. But thanks for the feedback!
I might start listing real FOS games recommended by the users, but I'm not sure whether I should add a dedicated section within this list, or build a new list from scratch for FOS games alone.

Hi everyone!
I'm moving my two lists of games from Reddit to Lemmy, as I'm planning to jump platform and totally abandon Reddit in the future. The reason is well, Lemmy is better, and Reddit's admin have suspended or shadowbanned my account without reason, deleting all my contributions to the community (Android Gaming) there.
Most notably my two lists of games which I've curated for over 4 years: "100% free games" and "Favorite PAID games".
Lemmy's still young and, unfortunately, there isn't a relevant or active Android gaming community yet, so I'm uploading here hoping I'm not doing anything wrong!
I'll probably cross-post the two lists on [email protected] too.
I'm very new to Lemmy so ANY feedback is appreciated. Thank you!
Some small markdown suggestions:
- Headers require a space after the number signs, like:
## **THE LIST** - I think "Introduction" and "Entry Criteria" should both be headers as well
- Each of your genre headers should get three number signs, since those are each subsections of the "THE LIST" section
First of all, thanks for your observations and suggestions. I love to be precise with my posts and learning more about markdown formatting.
Headers require a space after the number signs
A question about this: does it change the way it actually looks? I'll fix it, but I'd love to know if there's a practical difference in using space vs no space?
I think "Introduction" and "Entry Criteria" should both be headers as well
You're probably right, as general rules go, but the reason why headers in my list are formatted this way is because I wanted to draw attention to the actual list and genres, rather than to the introduction/criteria. As I'm expecting most users to browse this list when they want to checkout some games.
Each of your genre headers should get three number signs, since those are all headers that fall within the "THE LIST" section
I've actually tried that recently, but didn't like the way it looked. I think something was off with the spacing between genre headers and first line when using three hashtags. Might give it another try soon.*
*fixed the genre headers with three hashtagas
A question about this: does it change the way it actually looks? I’ll fix it, but I’d love to know if there’s a practical difference in using space vs no space?
Without the space, they don't render as a header at all.
No space:
##THE LIST
With space:
THE LIST
Should be fixed now. Let me know if I forgot something!
They both always looked the same for me, but once I tried on Obsidian I could see the difference! I think it depends on what app the formatting is displayed on. Thanks, I'm gonna fix all headers
I think it depends on what app the formatting is displayed on.
That is probably where the confusion lies here. Because in the default Lemmy web UI, omitting the space literally displays the number signs as-is without making the line a larger font at all.
Thanks for posting that here!
