Open sudoku?
As you can imagine, I’m no fun at parties…
Which one? And does it have killer sudokus?
No variant rules unfortunately according to the Fdroid. You should check out the sudoku games from Cracking The Cryptic on the Google Play store if you want that. They aren’t FOSS but they have hundreds of handcrafted puzzles for a few bucks.
Yes, that’s what I’ve been using for now. Best interface features and good puzzles, but sadly ads and the interface feels a little old.
Edit: went back to it, the UI is better than I remembered and you pay the ads away with 2,50€ or something.
Ads? I haven’t seen that in the CTC games.
Your likely looking for the app “Puzzles” ob Android or one of its desktop versions, I am not entirely sure if they are actually open source but there are at least some people’s contributions and it not only has “Killer” sudoku but a whole bunch of additional options (as well as tons of other awesome puzzle/logic games)!
Do you have a link or more info? That name is too generic :/

Have fun solving them! :D
Dunno what killers are, but it’s this one
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!
Mindustry, Endless Sky, and Unciv.
DCSS, Minetest and Simon Tatham’s Puzzles.
OpenRA and OpenTTD
OpenTTD is fantastic. The graphics might give new players pause, but if you like building networks or logistical puzzles, or just like trains, it’s still one of the best in the genre.
Velorem and Endless Sky!
CrossCode is really good, but it isn’t free. I need to look through my Steam library to see which other games might be open source too. This is the only one I’m aware of, really. ProtonDB might have a list of games that are open source. It’s a great resource for checking compatibility if you’re playing on Linux.
CrossCode is fantastic. But it is not an open source game.
Since no one mentioned yet, Tales of Maj’Eyal deserves some love too. One of the best roguelikes out there…
Is that game open source? That’s cool, I love that game
Yes, it is, although they don’t seem to take a collaborative development approach, but you can grab the source and create derivative works.
The modding scene is (or, well, was) pretty active though, if you’re into that. There are still official te4 forums, but most folks hang out in the discord (yeah, I know.) including a couple old head modders that are pretty familiar with the codebase if you’re trying to do something exceptionally interesting with it.
Mobile on Android: Shattered Pixel Dungeon and Techmino.
+1 for Pixel Dungeon, never heard of Techmino I’ll check it out
It’s Tetris but for mobile and very good quality
Tried to check it out - for me it’s neither on Google Play nor on F-Droid. Is it still supported and updated?
You have to get it directly from github. I use Obtainium to help with that.
it receives relatively frequent updates, and it uses love2d (with a native lua module for the AI) so it’s crossplatform.
An open source re-implementation of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2
OpenRCT2 is awesome, but as of now you still need the original commercial game to play it, since the open source version doesn’t have graphics.
Maybe one day they’re going to recreate graphics from scratch, like they did with the other Chris Sawyer’s reversed engineered game OpenTTD.
I really wish someone would do an OpenRCT3. It was so much fun being able to ride your creations. I had a 3D projector back then too, which made the game even more awesome. Such an underrated sequel.
And yes I’m aware that Planet Coaster exists but has anyone actually tried playing that game? They made everything way too complicated and I just can’t get into it. I don’t want to engineer every single bend and design the perfect landscaping from scratch, I just want to slap some rides together, see the guests come pouring in, and occasionally ride one of my rides (in VR, ideally). No game since RCT 3 has satisfied that itch for me.
You might want to have a look at parkitect! Its an hommage to rct1/2 but in a modern 3d presentation
I still haven’t tried it, but I’ve heard how great Veloren apparently is. It’s an MMO voxel game that takes inspiration from Zelda: Breath of the Wild and is written in Rust.
Early game is a bit confusing and direction less last I played but once you get your bearings its a load of fun
Xonotic (quake-esque FPS, IMO its like quake and halo had a FOSS child), Minetest (a voxel game engine, multiple games are available for it), and Mindustry (sandbox tower defense) are the only ones ive tried so far
Endless Sky. And AisleRiot Solitaire.
Endless Sky is a great game, and the Android port is solid. If you liked any of the Escape Velocity games then you’ll love Endless Sky.
- Super Tux (i played this since i’m three)
- osu!lazer (rythm game)
- shattered pixel dungeon
