Are there any good casual/low-stress mobile games that aren’t filled with microtransactions? For example: easy puzzle games, match-3 games, low-difficulty adventure games, or clicker-style games.
So far, the only good examples I’ve found are Monument Valley, Suika Game, and (sort of) Vampire Survivors.
I’m personally looking for games that have more progression or variety, but any suggestions are welcome.
Pixel Dungeon: Roguelike, infinitely replayable. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.watabou.pixeldungeon
Auralux: A simple real time strategy game. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wardrumstudios.auralux
2048: Simple to learn, difficult to master puzzle. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androbros.puzzle2048eng
Or the well-maintained and developed derivative:
https://shatteredpixel.com/
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.shatteredpixel.shatteredpixeldungeon/
The first link says not found :( maybe not available in Canada?
Last one says it was made for an old version of Android and can’t be downloaded (I have android 14)
Short answer: yes.
Shattered Pixel dungeon is based on pixel dungeon, adds a bunch of new stuff and is reasonably actively developed.
Install from computer:
adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block FILENAME.apk
