Ratings and reviews

This is a pretty poor mobile port of a great game. It's hard to tell what's happening with the tileset compared to running it in the terminal on PC. The keyboard takes up almost the entire screen leaving the actual game tiny. It uses Vim key binds, which works fantastic on PC but fails on mobile when compared to other options like pathos. The only way I could see this being good is if you play using a Bluetooth keyboard, but at that point you might as well just use a laptop.

I've only recently gotten into traditional roguelikes and this is one of the most recommended for a reason. It's not an easy game by any means, but everything has an in game explanation and the community is always helpful. It's a more comfortable experience on the PC, but this mobile port is great too! Now I can die repeatedly on my lunch break. FYI, there's no audio which isn't a problem for me since I'm usually listening to podcasts in the background. For $0 ad-free this game is a must have.

I love the desktop version and this is a great port. I just wish you'd made the 8 directions in 8 directions instead of preserving their location on a real keyboard. It makes play super clunky and frustrating (died to hitting the wrong button a few times already). Also, it would be nice to have access to '.' and 'esc' on the keyboard somewhere. I got stuck in the help menu for a long time...
