About

A roguelike for Java enabled cellphones (MIDP2). Currently in a pre-alpha state. GFX stolen with love from POWDER.

Features

  • Tile engine
  • Random level generator
  • Raycasting FOV
  • Monsters
  • Hand to hand combat
  • Ranged attacks
  • Items
  • Time system
  • Ladders up/down


Known issues

  • Ranged attacks do not check if the aim path is obstructed.
  • FOV artefacts
  • Monsters have stupid AI

Controls

  • Joystick to move
  • Fire to pick up items (if on item). Otherwise fire toggles the "cursor" on/off. Target a monster with the cursor and press fire to shoot an arrow.
  • Left soft-key to toggle between game and stats-screen

Should work on most MIDP2 handsets. But only tested on Nokia 6120 classic and Nokia N95. Will probably look best on a phone with landscape screen (172x220, 240x320).
