BrogueX

Unofficial Brogue port to Android.

TIPS

- If you have a smaller screen and the display appears corrupt, see the bug list for an explanation/workaround.

- If you do not have a keyboard, it is recommended that you turn on the "move tapping layer" menu option.

- The move tapping layer turns the screen into an invisible keyboard. See the Android "help" menu option for details.

BUG LIST

- If your device has a smaller screen, the display may appear corrupted. This is because the font is a bitmap font, and cannot be scaled down small enough. Ensure the "move tapping layer" is turned off. Use the pinch gesture to zoom in, drag the map view to fit, and then turn the "move tapping layer" back on. You may not be able to see the item/monster/health bar on the left-hand-side of the screen. This will be addressed in a future update.

WHAT IS A ROGUELIKE?

What is a Roguelike? Most modern games have art representing the game world. This presents someone elses vision of what their world looks like to you, and that is what you experience. A Roguelike is a game that uses letters and symbols to represent a game world. This means that once you have familiarised yourself with them, you engage your own imagination to build a picture of the game world.
