Free, no ads, GPL-3.0-only licence, version 4.0.2, 28.9 MB, updated October 12, 2026. It is a roguelike dungeon crawler with 6 heroes, 26 floors across 5 dungeon regions, and over 300 items. Best fit if you want depth rather than a short session.

The last update was December 22, 2025, so it is the older of the two ad-free picks. You race on various tracks and pick up bonuses to move up or slow rivals.

Best-of lists
Pick the app that fits the session you have in mind. Pixel Art Coloring and Pixel Tap work well for short sittings, since you fill in blocks by number, while Shattered Pixel Dungeon suits longer runs. Pixel Tap is at version 2.1.8, updated October 12, 2026, and its store page says new sets can be added without a monthly subscription, which is worth confirming there. If storage is tight, start with Shattered Pixel Dungeon at 28.9 MB or Pixel Wheels at 28.1 MB, the two apps with known sizes.
