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

Played these games for countless hours as a kid! Probably favorite game of all time! So glad they've brought this to Android. Only 4 stars because it does occasionally freeze up, not on just one device, but both devices I have it on. Other than than, awesome!!! Also, when I get to the end screen after collecting all the "wise men" and keys, etc, I can't do anything. It's basically froze up. Any advice on moving forward?

The games work fine from what I can remember, but the settings are not great, if I accidentally press one wrong button when changing the size of the screen, everything turns blurry, small and unreadable then I either have to mess around with the settings for 5 minutes and hope to get lucky or uninstall the game and then reinstall it

While the transition to the newest SDL framework has been a bit bumpy, the dev has been nothing short of immensely helpful when helping me get the new CGenius up and running, adding support for USB gamepads like the Razer Kishi, fixing crashes, and being very open to feedback regarding bug reports and feature requests. I can heartily recommend CGenius once more, without hesitation!
