These are the 15 best open source Android games you need to download

I’ve previously detailed a list of open source Android apps I always install on my phones, old or new. While all those apps add utility to my handsets, few of them provide pure entertainment. That’s where open source Android games come into play.

Open source games might seem counterintuitive, but their transparency and alterability are part of their allure. They allow users to view their source code up and down or enjoy it as they are. Some have even spawned mods of their own, or started as remixed versions of older titles. Each of the games on this list stands tall in its own right. They’re all genuinely great games, and I’ve enjoyed spending time with each.
