BlowTorch MUD Client

Happy Goat Studios

About this app

BlowTorch is a basic telnet client that supports the following features that people find helpful for playing MUDs.

MCCP Compression
ANSI Color Codes
Aliases
Triggers
Timers
As many custom buttons you can make!

BlowTorch now supports Portrait mode as well as Landscape mode!
MUD/MUSH/MOO Servers are text based games that operate similar to terminal applications. A host name and port are used to connect a player to a game. Game servers can be found at http://www.topmudsites.com and http://www.mudconnect.com

Custom buttons are made through long pressing the window where you want the button to be. Buttons can be grouped onto pages by using button sets accessible through the MENU button.

Triggers can be extended by turning off "Literal" parsing. This will enable regular expression parsing for the entered pattern. Capture group text may be replaced in response actions by using $1,$2,$3, etc, where the number specified is the index of the captured group.

Problems, Questions and Bug reports should be emailed to the developer email address for the quickest response.

Happy mudding!

Ratings and reviews

Yes. I'm having the exact same troubles everyone else is having, though my mud info hasn't gotten lost recently. It'll still append the echo of my input to the last line given, then the display freezes. On rare occasion, I get crashed all the way back to the MUD selection screen. Now since I read it hasn't been updated since 2018, I'm inclined to believe this is as good as it gets. It does work nicely...when it wants to.

For the most part I would not suggest any other client than this one. The only thing that is a thumbs down is the app randomly "crashes" even though it really doesn't? After that happens if you do not completely close your connection window and open a new one the previously sent characters remain and it acts funny. Other than that it's great. Good job!

The best MUD client on mobile. It allows you to save multiple worlds, use on screen buttons and even the keyboard is not completely obscuring the screen like some other ones. It's main issue is it is not quite perfect and updates have stopped. Some times the game worlds will disappear. But a quick work around is simply using Notepad to store the worlds info there and then just put them back in. I never use the more technical stuff, but the basics at least work well. I'd give it 5* w/ updates.
