Desktop depth. Mobile manners.

This is not a WebView wearing a fake beard. The LibGDX game runs natively with Android-specific lifecycle, storage, input, and memory work.

01

Touch-native controls

Tap to select, drag to pan, pinch to zoom, and mobile-specific tutorial instructions across supported languages.

02

Honest loading screens

Native Android overlays cover extraction, engine startup, and world generation while remaining visibly responsive.

03

Worldgen memory fix

Language-scoped font atlases cut native startup allocation by roughly 90%, while large worlds receive a legitimate game heap.

04

Real Android runtime

Static type discovery, private asset extraction, safe filesystem paths, FreeType natives, and modern Android lifecycle handling.

New in v0.8

Quick-save.
No keyboard required.

The new Android save button sits above the minimap and invokes the exact same save action as desktop F5. Menu close controls are also 33% larger on touch devices.

  • One-tap quick-save during normal gameplay
  • Existing 64 × 64 save artwork and click feedback
  • 72 × 72 Android close-button targets
  • Localized Android tutorial instructions

Install

Three steps. Zero Play Store theater.

  1. 1

    Download the APK

    Use the stable link below. Your browser may warn that APK files can be harmful because Android enjoys stating the obvious.

  2. 2

    Allow this source

    If prompted, allow your browser or file manager to install unknown apps. You can disable that permission afterward.

  3. 3

    Give first launch time

    The APK extracts a large desktop asset tree into private storage. Keep the app open until the loading screen finishes.
