Hi I am looking for a **free ** game with simple mechanics, competitive and online is a plus. plus suggest games that don’t require steam, I don’t want to install that software
I used to play vanis.io but people spoiled it by playing in teams while I like playing solo, while other games of the genre (slither, agar, paper.io) couldn’t stick with them
I played mindustry, and wasted tens of hours, until I found out That I was playing campaigns without having unlocked enough research to beat the master, the game didn’t have the right mechanisms to orient me to the winnable campaigns, and I ended hating it for that.
I am a simple guy looking for a simple game to distress (not candy crush simple)
Super Auto Pets is simple and can be played for free in a browser. It’s a team building game that puts you against other players’ teams, so it’s competitive in that regard.
If you like Pokémon and consider that simple enough, Pokemon Showdown is a free online battle simulator for competitive battles against other players. You can even do “random battles” that just instantly throw you into a match without requiring you to make your own team
Yeah it gives you and your opponent 6 random Pokémon each, but the moves and abilities are pulled from a small list of potential “competitive” move sets for that Pokémon. Then the levels of Pokémon are adjusted so that stronger Pokémon are a slightly lower level to balance things out.
It’s very fun to sit down and be in a battle within 10 seconds, but it can take a little bit of practice to get used to quickly reviewing your available moves for your whole team.
You can even play without even making an account and then you can create the account later if you want to save your progress

Thanks . I will try the first suggestion, I never played Pokemon and don’t know much about its lore.
I really like Super Auto Pets for the purposes you describe in the OP. There is a small community for it on Lemmy, even. [email protected]
Are random battles with random generated pokemon and random moves and abilities? Sounds fun!
I love pokemon battles but making teams is sometimes a p in the a
