Hi, although there is already a thread called “help building native standalone Löve games” that thread was created to receive support on building standalone löve games for sailfish which I achieved and was basically a technical thread not meant for end users (players).
All the games are available on openrepos
Although the games I ported are not really native sailfish games as they don’t use silica and the sdk to be built, I think it may be interested to have a thread to receive feedback from players and also provide a list of the games with links.
Please bare in mind that technical or development discussion would probably not fit here but if anyone is interested on discussing development it would probably fit better on löve or lua forums or the repository and I’m opened to discuss those issues.
Please also bare in mind that some projects are work in progress and may not be perfect, the touch controls I designed for them are not definitve yet and I’m still experimenting with layout and parameters.
This is the list ordered alphabetically:

Virtual-gamepad The app should run a touch input demo I created to port some LÖVE games to mobiles.
Guilove - A not-so-simple GUI library for LÖVE created by Marcus Thunström (aka ReFreezed)
This app deserves a more in-depth description:
GuiLove is a showcase of some of the GUI components Marcus has created and aim to shows which components can be used to create rich apps.
My weather forecast app for instance (included in the springscreensaver listed above) uses the input field from “Guilove” to create the input forms where you can enter the city, in combination with the touch keyboard and serves as an example of what you can create with the components, however a lot more components are available such as buttons, windows, tabs, menus, scrollbars and scrollable windows and much more. You can test them in the app.
I think it is also worth mentioning that I’ve been making efforts lately to standardize the use of the touch controls I designed and create an API that is easy for developers to use, so that, combined with the GUI above, you can create or port apps and games to this framework as easily as possible. The initial template explaining the components and documentation will be hosted on this repository: glitchapp/LOVE-TouchUI-Toolkit: Löve toolkit to empower developers to create rich applications for the LÖVE framework using Lua. - Codeberg.org.
I’m willing to help anyone who is interested in attempting to create apps or port them, but that would not fit here since it has nothing to do with Silica and the SDK for Sailfish, so it would be better to move such questions and discussions somewhere else.
I hope you enjoy the games, and I’ll be glad for your feedback.
