    Minetest and Mindustry are two of my favourites. It’s a bit complicated to find a good combination of Minetest mods though.

      +1 for Minetest both client and server too; we run one locally for the kiddos :)

    Endless Sky. The save game is a text file. Save a file on the mobile app (F-Droid), and on the PC (Flatpak), and note the last line. This is the line you must swap to transfer the save file. It is the first game I have played on both practically. The game mechanics are different between the two and you need to alter your strategy accordingly. On mobile, I travel with a ship setup for boarding pirate vessels and never target enemies directly; all of my guns are automatic turrets. I just use a fast ship and travel with a large group of fighters. It is more of a grind on mobile, but it can be used to build up resources and reserves. The game is much bigger than it first appears to be. You need to either check out a guide or explore very deep into the obscure pockets of the map.

    I have to second the mentions of OpenTTD, Battle for Wesnoth, Ur-Quan Masters and Nethack.

    I’d also like to add:

    • Widelands: A Settlers 2 clone.
    • Chromium B.S.U.: A top-down scrolling shooter. Don’t let any enemies pass. Perfect if you need 5 minutes of adrenaline.
    • Scorched 3D: It’s Scorched Earth, but 3D.
    • Frozen Bubble: Hard to describe. It’s a bit like Dr. Mario.
    • GL-117: 3D air combat. The graphics are “a bit” dated, but the game is a lot of fun still.
    • Kobo Deluxe: A 2D action-puzzler. It doesn’t have the most stunning graphics, but it sure is fun to play.

    Then there are also some open-source re-implementations of commercial games (that need the original game files) that haven’t been mentioned yet:
