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.

An open source re-implementation of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2
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
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.
Technically Urban Terror isn’t open source, but the Quake3 engine it runs on is.
- 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
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.
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.
Thank you!!!
I don’t know if it counts, but I think the source code of Freespace 2 was released eventually und a non-profit license. The community did some great things with it, especially the Blue Planet campaign.
God, I loved this game.
Haven’t seen this one mentioned but I have fond memories of Frets on Fire which is a guitar hero clone
I haven’t thought about this game since I was in junior high. Wow. I should look into it again since guitar hero and rock band have become so inaccessible. Used guitar controllers going for $150+. Fucking outrageous.

Super Tux Kart (I play it on Android) is NOT one of them. The physics system is bad at some moments, the items aren’t fun to use and some of them ruin the game. The overall game feels amateurish (in a bad way), but one thing that I like is the Windows Car and the drifting. Those are awesome.
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
Simutrans and Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead
I too hate myself
Simutrans
Can I finally create a city with proper public transportation, full of trams???😳
Wait, there’s opentdd, another similar game👀
Probably not unless you get public funding (eg, run a massive deficit, take control of the public AI to build stuff, debug features, etc) or you first create a resource chain or two to pay for transit.
Aw rip
Open sudoku?
As you can imagine, I’m no fun at parties…
Which one? And does it have killer sudokus?
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
Thanks
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.
Again Edit: I’m an idiot, I confused it with easybrain and logic wiz
Ads? I haven’t seen that in the CTC games.
Am idiot, confused things
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!
