Cave of Epokothar is a coffeebreak roguelike


Cave of Epokothar was designed to be played on mobile devices so the interface is based on mouse/touch. It can be played in any webkit-based browser, such as Chrome and Safari. If you have a Chrome browser, you can get a copy of the game in the Chrome Web Store. Alternatively you can play from http://eballot.github.com/CaveOfEpokothar GitHub.

Cave of Epokothar also works on tablets. It's in the Amazon app store and the HP Touchpad app catalog (sorry, it isn't in the apple app store because I don't think there'd be enough demand to pay for the submission fees). Both are priced at 0.99 US$ (or local equivalent).
