Not a complaint, more an FYI. I see a large number of games were added in 2020. I tried 3 randomly and all were either "incompatible with my device" or "made for an older Android version". Should I report them, or is it best to leave them for people with older versions of Android?

Thank Google for that, they're depleting Play Store to play favourites with bigwig publishers.

I've seen this in the wild, I'm guessing ethical indie devs are less likely to make new builds when new Android versions release.


Hmm, I think leave them, as long as they're not completely unavailable. It does lower the quality of my service a bit, though.


Wow, I really needed that website. I spend a lot of time looking for games of this kind, since like 99% of Android games are, in your (rather precise) terms, bullshit, and after some experiences with those I don't want to pay any more, period.


Thanks, I had the same thought!


This is exactly what I’ve wanted. It’s impossible to find games on the app store. Other than a few publishers I trust, I’ve mostly stopped playing.

There appears to be a bug on your site. I can’t seem to both filter and sort at the same time on iOS Safari. Both work, but if I filter (I filtered on puzzle and free) it works, but if I then click the sort by “added” button it sorts and my filter is gone. If I sort and then apply the filter it goes back to the default order.


Yeah, unfortunately I haven't added code to persist the filter. I'll fix it, but you can manually add the parameter to the url and it should work.


I think this website misclassifies a few games. For example in Bastion (iOS) only the beginning can be paid for free. The rest of the game is unlocked via a one-time payment. However the website says that the one-time purchase removes ads/annoyances.


I think that's fine, but maybe I will change the description to say "one-time payment unlocks the full game, without annoyances".


>paid for free

Is that a typo, or an apt description of a lot of 'free to play' games?


typo lol, I meant to say played.


Bastion was a great game ... And mostly for the narrator


Fantastic, thank you for sharing this!


You're welcome! Please help by submitting and reporting games.


This is great, thank you !


You're welcome! I'm glad you like it.


seems like last Android game was added in 2022-04


Can't be, I added some today. It might be the cache though.
