Linux games for tablets

Hi. I use 64bits arch in a wetab tablet. I'm looking for games playable in tablets (no keyboard, no mouse, only touchscreen). I only know 'World of Goo' and 'Spirits', both avaliable in Steam.

Does anyone know more linux games adequate for tablets? Thanks.

Re: Linux games for tablets

Your tablet interprets the touchscreen as a mouse click, correct? So, that would mean the requirements are "able to be played with a one-button mouse".

I can't really think of any. Well... I suppose the GNOME game pack would work (solitare, minesweeper...)

Yes, you are right, I can replace 'tablet' with 'one-button mouse'.

I was thinking in games 'better' than the gnome ones, but thanks for your suggestion.

Battle for Wesnoth would probably work pretty well on a tablet.

Re: Linux games for tablets

I've tested Battle of Wesnoth, Dungeons of Dreadmore and Legend of Grimrock. Dungeons od Dreadmore doesn't work on my machine (I think it's a problem with the intel 945GM video card: http://www.grimrock.net/forum/viewtopic … 12&t=4578). Dungeons of Dreadmore has heavy use of right button mouse (I can emulate with easystroke but not very easy to play). Battle of Wesnoth seems easier to play, but it needs the precise pointer of a mouse.

I will keep searching, I'll post it here if I find games so easy to play in a tablet as 'Wordl of goo'.

Cheers,
