Good FLOSS Arcade games?

poVoq

Did you have a look at OSU! ?

TPW

Thanks for the recommendation - indeed I didn't. Is it really FLOSS?
MIT - you're right!

I quite like KBounce. It is easy to understand and very much fits the arcade style of games.

TPW

Lopy Haha :D. I have a similar love for Kolf :D. However, I'm afraid for my reasons a bit more bling-bling is required - will set it on the list, though.

mdtrooper Hell yeah. I played Tumiki Fighters when I was probably 12 years old, but didn't knew its name anymore. Torus Trooper I did play in another highscore chase, at a by now vanished board. Didn't knew they did that much more material, this is damn cool.

All old games of Aba Games. They are shootemups bullet hell, they are made in D language and they are as Debian packages.

I quite enioy a few rounds of Avoision or Parallel Overhead.

Was this already mentioned? https://taisei-project.org/

TPW

Added Avoison, Parallel Overhead, and Taisei to the list!

Parallel Overhead reminds me of BosonX, that seemingly here
https://github.com/ranchordo/Boson-LWJGL/tree/master/jar
was FLOSSed but seems to bug (or only on my system?), as the player is invisible.

Taisei wasn't really playable last I checked, but this is quite some years ago.

TPW Have you seen heXon ⬣ Astral Arcade?

TPW

Modanung In fact I tried it; but I can't start it. Same problem as with Quatter/Blip & Blup - "invalid instruction" ("Ungültiger Maschinenbefehl").

Modanung

TPW Yes, it's somewhat common for the CI artifact to not run at the moment.
But that's easily overcome:

Illegal instruction when running a “Dry” game

TPW

Modanung Gonna try it when I have some time at hands ;).

Modanung

TPW For a few months now, there's AUR packages for both heXon and Tux!, btw.

TPW

The .sh seems to be designed for Debian systems, and would either require me to edit it or to extract the informationen needed for building out of it? This seems a bit much, tbh. Sorry.

Modanung

TPW Well, I don't even run that system it doesn't yet work on out-of-the-box.
I can however, approve PRs.

To summarize, the pre-compiled LucKey stuff is currently expected to run on Debian/Ubuntu-based (GitLab CI artifacts) and Arch-based systems (through the AUR).
Compilation steps are made easiest here. PRs more than welcome.
