Showing the top 48 of 62 by GitHub stars. Every entry is listed in the sitemap and the JSON API.
What are the best open-source games?
By GitHub stars, Mindustry is the most popular (29,269 stars), followed by Dolphin Emulator and PPSSPP. Each page lists the license, the last commit and the F-Droid, Google Play or App Store link when the project publishes one.
Which of these apps work on iPhone?
10 of the 62 open-source games listed here run on iOS, including The Battle for Wesnoth and Shattered Pixel Dungeon, and 61 run on Android.
Are these apps on F-Droid?
58 of the 62 are on F-Droid, which builds them from source. 47 of those have no anti-features (such as ads, tracking or a non-free network service) flagged by F-Droid; each app page lists any that are.
How are these open-source games chosen?
Apps come from the F-Droid index (apps whose source code is on GitHub), GitHub topics such as android-app, flutter-app, ios-app and jetpack-compose, and a short hand-checked list of official apps that are not on F-Droid. An app is listed only if its license is OSI-approved or FSF-free (F-Droid's license first, then GitHub's), the repository has a README and a commit in the last six months and is not archived, and it has 100+ GitHub stars (F-Droid apps) or 300+ stars (everything else). Libraries, SDKs, templates, samples and demo apps are left out. Source-available apps are never listed.
