Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead

It's a time machine that teleports you to 3am the next day.

Sanmill

Basically nine man's morris, it's pretty fun trying to beat progressively harder AI. Each difficulty requires a different (better) strategy. It's like unlocking levels in a puzzle game.

Minetest and Widelands

Andor's Trail - RPG where you search for your missing brother. Still under development, but there's a lot of content. It's convenient to fill a few spare minutes or waste hours.

minetest is a rather neat game engine, good bit of gameplay there, even more with the mods and other games you can play.

I've lost many hours to Mindustry on my Galaxy Fold with an S pen...

Apotris is an excellent famous-block-stacking-game clone for the GBA (and other platforms), it has a version for Portmaster that will run on many if not all Linux handhelds like the RG35XX and similar, but will also run in any GBA emulator.

Definetly openTTD. I love trains and its so cool to see your little trains drive around, load some cargo, etc.

Open Hexagon

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

it's gotta be Xonotic baby, basically a quake clone that is completely free, a decent sized player based and frag loads of fun!

Got it on me Ubuntu desktop starting out for FOSS games.

Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection

It's available on Linux, Windows, Android, iOS, and the web.

I play them on my phone to pass time.

This is brilliant. Thank you!

Widelands is a great strategy / building game. The gameplay and UI style is a niche - but that's one of the things I like about it. It's doing something different to most games.

(The gameplay is similar to Settlers 2; before that franchise changed direction.)

[edit] But the open-source game I've spent the most time playing would be OpenXcom-extended, with xpiratez. That game is truly huge.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)
  • Endless Sky -- open-source space game. I actually contributed to it back in the day; a date format option and a full-blown storyline about an author. Unfortunately the storyline is in development hell cause I lost motivation to work on it.
  • OpenTTD -- really awesome, with NewGRFs and mods you can have a somewhat "realistic" rail experience (as in, using actual real-life trains. Obviously a pixel game isn't the most "realistic" with graphics)
  • Mindustry
  • Pioneer Space Sim

KeeperFX - an opensource decompilation project and fan expansion of Dungeon Keeper.
