Hi, I have a primary school girl who wants her share of gaming on the family android tablet.
While finding open source or commercial games with no ads that boys like is doable, I haven’t been able to find the kind of games a girl wants:
- with cute graphics
- where you care for dolls or pet
- no ads or subscriptions, no endless DLC.
Do you have any recommendations for android games that fit the bill?
The image is a screenshot of cry babies, a game that she’d like to play very much but constantly nags you to buy new content.
You know what is a great android game for girls… Any good android game. And that’s because girls are people. They have a diverse set of interests and are not one single thing.
As I said before: I absolutely agree. I just typed the description she gave me of the game she wants.
No worries. Just phrase as “What are some android games that are good for kids, age X - X, with a traditionally feminine or “girly” aesthetic?”
That asks your same question, without implying (intentionally or not) that all girls are a “princess that likes pink”
Has she specifically requested games with dolls and pets? If not, just get her good games - doesn’t matter who’s playing them, games are games.
Yeah, OP apparently just relayed the game description from her. She specifically wants dolls, pets, and all that.
Try finding games on fdroid.
She might find some she likes in gcompris https://www.gcompris.net/index-en.html
You can also install an emulator for various consoles too.
Yeah I’ve tried that, but the controls are sometimes less-than-optimal.
I wonder whether maybe you could attach some hardware controller to the android device.
My daughters love “Battle for Polytopia”. Some DLC but not infinite.
