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)

      I am not a gamer. very rarely game, and when I do, I use it to distress.

      I’ve seen it on my brothers laptop forcing updates at (almost) every system start-up, taking up more and more space, so I don’t want to clutter my PC with more stuff I don’t frequently use. or with a software that acts rogue on my pc. (I dislike auto-update) that I disabled them on windows even at a security cost.

        Not too advocate too heavily for steam (it’s your pc and I get having lines in the sand) as with all things you can disable auto start and auto updates pretty trivially as far as I know.
