Comments on NetHack for Android

★★★★★ Great classic port Smooth and perfect. Hope we could get more variants than slash em someday.
★★★★★ NetHack on my phone! All in all a good port, especially when combined with the NetHack Encyclopedia app. The controls are somewhat awkward but I feel this is the best they could do given the nature of the original game. The default tile sets are nice. I play this all the time! :D
★★★★★ Great game Need a dedicated movement keyboard to make moving around simpler, but great other than that
★★★★★ Good Conversation Well adapted to mobile. Way better than Angry Birds. Text sometimes fails to wrap properly though.
★★☆☆☆ Lazy port. Too small and uncontrollable. Why not map wasd for movement? Come on.
★★☆☆☆ I love Nethack, but this is far too hard to use without a better control scheme. Unless your phone has a physical keyboard, don't bother with it!
★★☆☆☆ Unplayable Seems designed for a super low-resolution screen. The keyboard is less than 1cm wide in the bottom corner and there doesn't seem to be a way to use a real Android keyboard.
★★☆☆☆ Good port, but unplayable on touch only using current controls.
★★☆☆☆ Unplayable Always freezes on initial screens (before game even begins). Buggy like crazy. Will always crash, freeze, etc. without explanation
