Neverball is a game where you move a ball through a labyrinth and collect coins. I had an issue to get it started on my SpacemiT K1 RISC-V system, but you can start it with Zink (OpenGL through Vulkan).

I have remote access to a SpacemiT K3 RISC-V system. The web interface has a working remote desktop. So I had a look if Vulkan is working.
Judging from the low CPU load mangohud reports, vkcube is running on the PowerVR BXM-4-64.

Jump'n'Bump is a game that you can play with multiple players on one computer. Up to three players can play on a full-size keyboard with a numeric pad, and one more with a mouse. It is also possible to play over a network.

Found another RTS game in the Debian repository that works on RISC-V. Seven Kingdoms Ancient Adversaries had an update in 2025, so it looks like it is still being maintained.

I don't think Globulation 2 is still being developed, but you can still install it from the Debian repository. It also works on RISC-V, but I have an issue with the Settings file. As long as you don't change settings, it plays without a problem.

The Ubuntu team has updated the Steam snap package for ARM. It now includes the msm driver for Snapdragon chips. I wasn't able to enable thunking for OpenGL, but I can enable it for drm and Vulkan.

Colobot is an older game, but it is still being maintained by volunteers. You can program bots to help you with your missions in space.
It is available from the Debian repository (including for ARM and RISC-V), or from the website.

SpacemiT announced the new K3 RISC-V chip. It's RVA23 compliant and has 8 performance cores (X100) and 8 AI cores (A100). We still have to wait a couple of months for the official release, but some people have remote access to some test boards.

I was hoping to test RPCS3 on Windows on ARM. Unfortunately my Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 is too old. I was able to get Vulkan installed, so I decided to test PPSSPP with Vulkan on Windows on ARM. I get better performance with Vulkan than with Direct3D on Windows on ARM.

Looks like Pinokio AI 5.3.5 is no longer a 1-click solution on ARM Linux. There are issues that two modules don't have the ARM version installed.
You can fix it manually, but npm is not my friend (modules removed).
