  • Free Android Games - no ads, no IAPs, no gacha.

  • Thanks for the recommendation, but it clearly doesn't match the entry criteria. This list is for people who abhor seeing ads and microtransactions of any kind.

    This game, which I'm sure is great, should be part of another category of games: those with bearable ads/IAPs. I've been thinking about compiling such list, but it'd be incredibly tricky and time consuming to discern what's fair from what's annoying or predatory.

  • Hey, thank you for this great list!

    You're welcome :)

    Do you think you could maybe add a small description for every game?

    Sorry, I won't do that. I think it's easy enough to click on the links and check all the info on the Store, with pictures and description. Furthermore, I did not play all these games as they're user recommendations, so it'd be too much work for little benefit.

  • Should be fixed now. Let me know if I forgot something!

  • They both always looked the same for me, but once I tried on Obsidian I could see the difference! I think it depends on what app the formatting is displayed on. Thanks, I'm gonna fix all headers

  • Thanks for the feedback. I'll check.

    Edit: fixed them

  • First of all, thanks for your observations and suggestions. I love to be precise with my posts and learning more about markdown formatting.

    Headers require a space after the number signs

    A question about this: does it change the way it actually looks? I'll fix it, but I'd love to know if there's a practical difference in using space vs no space?

    I think "Introduction" and "Entry Criteria" should both be headers as well

    You're probably right, as general rules go, but the reason why headers in my list are formatted this way is because I wanted to draw attention to the actual list and genres, rather than to the introduction/criteria. As I'm expecting most users to browse this list when they want to checkout some games.

    Each of your genre headers should get three number signs, since those are all headers that fall within the "THE LIST" section

    I've actually tried that recently, but didn't like the way it looked. I think something was off with the spacing between genre headers and first line when using three hashtags. Might give it another try soon.*

  • Yes, thanks. I removed the 100% in the title. That was to distinguish the games in this list from the "free-to-play" games, which are free to download but then have predatory monetization through microtransactions, or ads.

    Personally, I can see the difference between saying "free" and "FOSS" so I thought it should be alright. But thanks for the feedback!

    I might start listing real FOS games recommended by the users, but I'm not sure whether I should add a dedicated section within this list, or build a new list from scratch for FOS games alone.

  • Thanks for the suggestion. I can't really say that because, as mentioned in my post, I haven't played all those games. This is a list of games recommended by the users that I simply put together for everyone to easily browse.

    I changed the title a bit and I'll see if I can further improve it! Cheers!

  • Lol! You're right, actually. But it's accurate, to the point and, I suppose, easy to find for users.

    What would you suggest instead? Maybe removing the "100%"?

  • That is great! I should probably start adding FOSS games from F-droid.

  • Hi everyone!

    I'm moving my two lists of games from Reddit to Lemmy, as I'm planning to jump platform and totally abandon Reddit in the future. The reason is well, Lemmy is better, and Reddit's admin have suspended or shadowbanned my account without reason, deleting all my contributions to the community (Android Gaming) there.

    Most notably my two lists of games which I've curated for over 4 years: "100% free games" and "Favorite PAID games".

    Lemmy's still young and, unfortunately, there isn't a relevant or active Android gaming community yet, so I'm uploading here hoping I'm not doing anything wrong!

    I'll probably cross-post the two lists on !android@lemmy.world too.

    I'm very new to Lemmy so ANY feedback is appreciated. Thank you!
