It's great and all (it really is), but the target audience was just presented factorio 2.0 (and space age), so we're busy for a few months.

I wouldn't call the game 'extremely high difficulty', it even has some easier levels early on (at least when I played it a couple of years ago). I'm not a regular tower-defense or sim game player and I was able to complete Serpulo. It can be a challenging puzzle at times, but it's not a game I'd feel a need to warn people about difficulty-wise.
Disclaimer: this game may be addictive for some individuals.
Seconding (although I have a tendency to marathon the campaign of any game I think is excellent). No need for predatory tricks like loots, this is just a damn fun game.
It’s very weird for a FOSS enthusiast not to advertise one of the best open-source games of all time so here I am trying to make it spoken about again.
IIRC I found it in a 'top 100 FOSS games' list because it was one of the first which wasn't an open-sourced cloning of an existing game. No disrespect for clones and adaptations at all, but it's extra special to see original softwares so good that even people who don't care about FOSSness would use them.

It's also on Steam for a couple of bucks if you want a simple way to support the dev!
That gives 30% to Steam though. Better use Itch.io as linked on the github page.
Income from Steam is what ultimately made gaming on Linux viable. And to do that, they made significant open source contributions.
So I'll keep giving them money of course.
And it has a ton of features like cloud save which I really wanted after losing my save once distro hoping. The 30% cut is justified imo(you don't have to agree to it, it's just my opinion).
Unironically, I had to delete this game from my phone because I wasn't getting work done. This game slaps.

Rust
C better. /s (probably)
Assembly is the only REAL gaming language! Look at Roller Coaster Tycoon!
Don't forget the amazing Soundtrack
Excellent game - highly recommend
Definitely interested in trying this one out. Haven't dove into the FOSS games category yet
Gave it a shot this morning, I could see myself missing buses. However, I do really dislike mobile interfaces. My thumb is too wide to reliably click things

I highly recommend this game! I played through it with a friend and really enjoyed it. I think I recommend it with more than one player
The only thing I can put against dev (not really) is there's no x-platform sync between clients. Continuing your game on a phone could be a cool feature, even if not from some centralized server they pay for, but from your own google drive or whatever.
