The original Peggle. There’s a free APK available on speedrun.com. Works flawlessly even on modern Android.

I got free of this addiction years ago.

I hate you.

I made a post the other day about some gentle arcade mobile games which are currently free. I’ve only played Traffix so far, but it seems great.

Emulation!

Beleentoro Pro might be something for you. Basically a chill factory game, which I enjoyed for a long time. Other games by the developer Yiotro might be worth a look too.
There are also free versions of most of their games available, with ads iirc (not sure, has been a while). But if you don’t want the ads: the pro versions are really cheap. One time purchase for everything.

Another idea I have a puzzle game called: Mekorama by Martin Magni. The last time I played you got an option to pay what you think the game is worth at the end of the game. But you don’t have to.

Mini Metro by Dinosaur Polo Club is also really good, but comes with a purchase.

If you like tower defense, Bloons TD 6 by Ninja Kiwi is a must have. Comes with a purchase and has the option of microtransactions for cosmetics, but you can get those by playing as well. More importantly, it’s tons of fun.

In case you’ve got a Netflix subscription, check out their games. They have lots of games in their repertoire which you would have to buy if you went through the App/Play stores. (Bloons TD 6 should be included there for example.)

Edit: corrected Bloons TD 5 to Bloons TD 6.

awesome_lowlander,

Why btd 5 over btd 6?

Zacryon,

Whoopsie, that’s what I meant. Thanks for the question! :D

Eheran,

Yiotro for the win!

Why don’t you try emulation? Most phones nowadays are capable of emulating easily up until Gamecube

daddy32,

Personally, I don’t enjoy it much without physical buttons :(

volodya_ilich,

Same here, that’s why I got me one of these tiny Bluetooth controllers. I have an 8bitdo Zero 2 which, while lacking joysticks, is very portable. Alternatively, a bigger and full layout but still pocketable remote is the 8bitdo sn30 pro, it’s rather slim and quite comfortable imo, and compatible with switch and PC too if you also game in either of those systems.

Probably Scalak, a 3D puzzle game. It isn’t foss and is paid.

Flow is a fun puzzle game with a hint of nostalgia

Shattered pixel dungeon has been a mainstay on my phone for what feels like a decade now

In my experience the relatively small selection of the F-droid store is full of these type of games.

Troll patrol

Sudoku

Unciv

Shattered Pixel Dungeon

Pirate Solitare

…just to name a few All full versions, no ads or premuim options. Love F-droid, its a shame the selection is quite small.

sem,

Troll patrol isn’t in my fdroid :(

@polamatysiak nagrała odcinek podcastu o sprawie. Nie odsłuchałem jeszcze do końca, ale to co usłyszałem mnie raczej przekonuje przynajmniej do tego, żeby nie robiąc przedwczesnej burzy patrzeć co się tam wydarzy.

There’s definitely a learning curve to it but if you put the time and effort into it the trackpads can become second nature. I don’t really care for gyro but your mileage may vary. Take some time playing with the different setting adjustments to figure out what works best and then try to stick with those settings across different gamesto build up your muscle memory. Personally I find 175% sensitivity, trackball friction high, haptics off to be most comfortable. I started practicing with Amid Evil since its controls are quite basic, and moved up from there. Now I don’t even think about the controls and I recently enjoyed a full playthrough of Doom 2016 with no gyro or aim assist. Another approach that might help your coordination and fluency could be to spend time playing something highly mouse-centric like Torchlight, Titan Quest, FTL, etc. It’ll feel really clumsy trying to click around at first but after several hours it’ll probably start to feel more natural. As for the rest of your movement, I recommend setting up the back buttons for jump/crouch/walk/sprint so you don’t have to take your thumbs off the sticks/pads.

Neopets still exists and is going strong! The community is wholesome and so amazing, You can play it on your phone’s internet browser, it’s wonderful nostalgic break from everything else, and they have a TON of free games built in… Solitaire, Pyramids, Bullshit, Battleship, Minesweeper, Brick Breaker, Mahjong, Blackjack, Poker, Keno, etc.

I still play every day and have a BUNCH of goodies for new players, if you do check it out!

theedqueen,

I haven’t been on neopets in years and now I can’t login anymore. I think at a certain point they changed their login system and my email got lost so I can’t do password recovery anymore. Such a shame because I had put in a lot of work into that account as a kid and had millions saved up.
