About this game

Play many Commander Keen for free on your Android device! The released Shareware versions (1, 4 and Keen Dreams) are free to play and downloaded within the CG store which is part of the app. Just click on "+ More", choose your favorite game and enjoy.

If you don't see the "+ More" button next to "Start >" in the games list, be patient. Sometimes, closing the App and opening it again helps. It really depends on your internet connection and server reachability.

Episode 2, 3, 5 and 6 can also be played when you copy them to your data directory (Check the readme file for details). You can get Episode 2, 3 and 5 on Steam. Keen 6 is harder to get (ebay might help). We are not allowed to publish them in the store, sorry.

Controls: If you don't have or want to connect a gamepad to your mobile device, you can enable the virtual pad in the main menu under Configure->Overlay->VirtPad. If you have a gamepad, you should configure it first. Here an example how to do that: https://youtu.be/9AAe2f4W7nk

Ratings and reviews

Okay, would rate higher if I could choose a folder for the games I own. Unfortunately it's in the data folder and can't be changed. the newest android makes sure that folder is locked to hell and if there is a way to access it I'm not spending any more time trying. Otherwise it has some mods and demos available which are pretty okay.

Wow, I've been waiting years to finally play this game again on my cell: it's a dream coming true! Only two little problems: 1) can't eat the amazing music of the original game. 2) controls are a little uncomfortable and not really fluid, it takes some time to adapt. But thanks anyway, great game that we can finally play again!

The controls are very bad and the games are pretty much unplayable. Also, display and video settings can't be adjusted in the launcher as display settings turn the screen black and video settings turn the resolution very low and the text becomes too small and pixelated to be able read anything (even if I just open the menus and don't touch the default settings).

What's new

- Screen resolution fixes, finally
