I’m going completely crazy trying to find games that are just games and not cheap clones of other money making machines.

    I think Don’t Starve has no in app purchases. Also see open source games like Endless Sky, Shattered Pixel Dungeon, and Mindustry.

      I play all of those except endless sky which I’m looking up now.

      Can’t get into don’t starve.

      Edit: I don’t see endless sky

        Ah, it seems the only place to get it is on F-droid, the open source app “store”.

        The Endless Sky game is made for PC, but there’s a fork that maintains compatibility with android. If you have F-droid, search for it there. If not, you can download the APK file from the F-droid page for Endless Sky.

        If this is your first time installing something that isn’t on Google Play, then your phone is going to fight back. But it generally should tell you what you need to do before you can install apps from outside the Play app store.

          Ooooooooooohhhhh! I’ve heard the name a dozen times and never knew what it was! Thanks!

          I’ve installed from other sources before and even had grapheneOS at one point.
