It's been a while since I've played it but mindustry is amazing https://github.com/Anuken/Mindustry

As well as supertuxkart, which I honestly like better than mario kart https://supertuxkart.net/Main_Page

I just downloaded tuxkart. About to give it a go. Mindustry looked to be a bit much for me

Edit: does anybody have recommendations for add-ons for stk?

Just the community I needed to find! I was literally about to close lemmy to go look for open source games and ports for Android.

I started Shattered Pixel Dungeon and was having a lot of fun with it. It is the first real Roguelike I think I have gotten into. It takes a bit of learning, but it still feels pretty accessible. Definitely worth the free download to see if you enjoy it

This inspired me to play Shattered Pixel Dungeon.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Hell yeah! I hope you enjoy. I haven't played a whole lot, but if you have any questions I will do my best

So very similar vein, uses many of the same mechanics and a lot of the same framework is Pathos. I think it's really well fleshed out even though I haven't managed to get very far. Amazing depth and mechanics but initially it felt like running into a brick wall for me. But the tutorials are very easy to read in the game and you can tweak a lot to become a god in different ways so you can test out and try to understand mechanics. I think it's great fun and kinda like a deeper, grander Shattered Pixel Dungeon!

Sounds like I need to try it at some point, thanks for the suggestion

I have been a long-lasting Sauerbraten player, although I only play it occasionally due to the low player base.

Apart from that, I have been playing OpenTTD, Mindustry and other open strategic games and I am looking for similar games. I have played a lot of other open source games that do not come in my mind as of now, I have been using Linux as my main OS for quite a long time.

Does osu lazer count?

[–] deaf_fish@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, seems like the license is MIT.

OpenTTD and FreeCiv
