I would also like them to have lan mulitplayer and prefferably not full of ads and IAPs. IAPs are ok if they're not intrusive into the gameplay, the same goes for ads.
Online multiplayer is optional.
They should also work with Marshmallow. You don't need to test them as I may, but it's nice to know ahead of time.
I would like to keep the size under 500mb if possible.
Also please no *camping fps* aka cover based fps as I like being able to roam freely.
More and more games these days are getting to become a money drain and I don't like that (I don't have money to spend) . They're also requiring internet to even just play, which is bad as I don't have unlimited internet everywhere (even at home). Also many are just huge at over 500mb.
Thanks guys in advanced for listing games here! I will try to add your contributions to my list as well.
I have been able to find a ton of racing games that work offline and are small. They're listed below.
Now off with the list!

So, probably asked hundreds of times before, I already searched for it and know some candidates, but since the oppinions I have found could be outdated, I'll ask again:
I want to jump to game development as a hobbie. I already have a job programming, and know C++ and Java very well (not a guru...yet! ). But when I search for game engines there are SO many to choose from.
I'd like to pick one which:
has a big community of users (for example, PlayN looks nice, but I think lacks of this. just try to google "PlayN push notifications" and nothing will appear)
is free (since it's just a hobby)
and would be nice (not mandatory) if it was possible to port to other non-Android devices (iOS, Windows8...). AndEngine looks great, but it is only for Android, and I don't know if Cocos2Dx is reliable.
extra points if the engine includes multiplayer capabilities or push notifications. I have not found information about this for PlayN, AndEngine or Cocos2Dx, so I guess they don't have these features and aim only for graphics. Moai looks promising here, but I don't want to learn to use it and then discover than the free edition is too limited.
So, I'd love to hear oppinions from game developers around here: please tell me your experiences.
BTW, I'd love to create a Civilization-like game, that's why I'm interested in push notifications and multiplayer. But I'll start with a card game, because I'm just not that mad (yet).
PS: After reading forum rules, I guess this question goes here, in Q&A, but feel free to move it to Android Game development subforum if you think it is misplaced.
I don't know about push notifications, but I think you'll have to code the multiplayer part yourself using sockets because multiplayer is different from game to game.
there is already a thread created on teaching how to create android games. here is the link

Hello,
I'd like to know what is the rank of my apps on the playstore, but unfortunately the developer console doesn't show it.
Then I thought I could retrieve the rank from the website, but the rank is not the same on the website and on the playstore app from android devices! I want to know real rank (playstore app), not the web's one. Furthermore there aren't all of the leaderboards like 'top new paid' or 'top grossing'
So, I'd like to know: is there a way to get the app rank in the playstore app from a PC?
Happy nYear
I have found that my app's rank in the Play app is always one less (ranked one position higher) than the rank on the Web site. I intend to look at all the apps ahead of me and see what the difference is, but I have not done it yet.
I think that rank information may only be available for the top 500 apps in each category.
Edit...Ah, for me, at least, Gameloft apps don't show up in the Play app on my phone, and there's exactly one of them ranked ahead of me. Says they aren't compatible with the Galaxy Nexus. Who writes an Android app that won't run on a Nexus device?!?
The ranking is completely different for everythings (excepting ~top10), for example in top paid action game you have:
The 2 leaderboards are completely differents; it's odd.
Besides I've a galaxy nexus too, but It should have any effect right?
Hmm, yes, Arcade & Action looks completely different. In Cards & Casino, where my apps are, they are the same, except for the games that are missing on the phone because they're not compatible.
Hmmm you are totally right, there are a looot of app incompatible with the galaxy nexus .... and that's the reason why there is so much differences! So the web ranks are the "global" ranks, and actually the real one! It's cool because it will be easier to get my apps' rank in this case .
Thanks for pointing this!
I found this site http://www.appannie.com/ which has some interesting app ranking info. I knew that one of my apps has been in the top 100 in paid Cards & Casino in the United States for several months, but I discovered that it has made the top-selling list of all games in Hong Kong, at #299. They must play a lot of cards in Hong Kong!
They updated the site, that's pretty cool! Too bad that google dev console isn't like appannie.
Anyway I got my answer, thank you
Hi,
Question for kids apps developers...
I would really appreciate you opinion on this one.
We believe the app store model is not working well when it come to small kids
No niche categorization ( within the “kids” world )
Added value app are “buried” by tons of low value apps
lot’s of sexual & violent apps on app stores
Parents dislike the ongoing pressure to buy or unexpected purchases
MOST importantly to this forum - Good kids apps are NOT rewarding to most app developers (pushed down by mega brands/monetizers)
We would like to offer our audience (close to 1 million kids) a premium subscription based service for parents and reward developers based on real usage (real minutes spent on their app) dividing the revenues among them. so instead of one time compensation, it would be spread over time.
What do you think???
Some more info on our website
BTW- I'm not posting this to sign you up, I'm sincerely looking for your feedback and your expectations from such a service.
Thanks!

Good idea.
One of device brend (don't remember what) recently presented "sandbox" mode on their devices. Parents can activate this mode and then kid play without any danger. You could integrate your "market" there But google play policy don't allow to modify apk files via applications...
Hi guys, I found a nice app on the Google Play, namely App Gratis. I would like to share it with you all.
P. S. I'm just sharing the work of Sean.
Originally on Google Play
Description
1. AppGratis- every day a FREE app!
That gratis on the name is no lie, our app of the day will always be FREE!
...plus get discounts of up to 90% off on unmissable apps
2. What is AppGratis?
AppGratis is an app discovery platform for me to let you know about the coolest apps I find and negotiate just for you... by turning them to FREE! The deals are for 24 hours only though, so you better not miss my app of the day!
3. Who does all the work for AppGratis?
Well, thanks for asking! I'm Sean, nice to meet you! I spend my days searching around Play Store to discover hidden gems that may have gone unnoticed, or to bring you the latest buzz in the world of apps! This is the story of one man with his Android, testing 3 apps at the same time while his cat is trying to climb onto his head... You'll find it all in AppGratis...
4. What will I find in AppGratis?
Every type of app and maybe a bad joke from me! From cool arcade games to logic puzzle apps, from alarm clock apps to currency converter apps, and from translating apps to apps that make useful widgets! Did I mention that I just never stop looking for really cool and useful apps?
i. Frequent "freemium giveaways" like free in-app purchases, level unlocks, and other cool stuff you would normally have to pay for.
ii. Benefit from my huge network of app developer contacts from all over the world to get the best apps out there for FREE!
iii. Every single app is hand-picked and tested thoroughly(by a real human being!).
iv. Only one push notification a day. No exceptions, just a reminder as the app of the day will only be there for 24 hours!
If you've got any questions, declarations, want to propose an app, or you accidentally sat on your phone, I can be reached day or night at [email protected].

Hello, Xda-members!
I've developed a game for Windows Phone devices: The Walking Cat, a funny logical game, that combines fun, cats and mind games
If you find a bug, please, send me a message about it and describe the bug and actions to reproduce it.
The Walking Cat supports all Windows Phone devices, starting from WP7 and up to WP8.1.
Get it in Windows Phone marketplace: http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=7246c620-f6ee-4a7b-bee8-c9f9f96890d6
Here is the description of my game:
Use your mind to trick Zombiecat and get Captain Puffy to Miss Purr-Purr!
Tired of games, where you need to aim or shoot fast?
Ready for a smart thinking game?
You’ll see the cutest and funniest characters, you’ve ever seen. It’s just so mi-mi-mi!
You’ll go though 230 (!!!) levels!
The rules are simple, but the game is hard.
All you need to know is that Zombiecat moves two cells in a turn, but it is stupid.
Zombiecat always goes straight to you. When he decides where to go – he always prefers to move in the horizontal direction (left or right).
You can use walls, traps, teleports and obstacles to get away from Zombiecat.
If you can’t pass a certain level, don’t be upset – the game has a built-in hint and solution system that would help you.

PS. Btw, I don't want to advertise on XDA, just want to find some beta-testers before I launch the game. It's hidden from market and can be accessed only using direct link (see post #1).
The Walking Cat updated with Chineese, Vietnamese, Hindi and Arabic languages support!
