Dweller is the first roguelike created for java enabled cellphones. The project was announced and a first alpha version was released on the 12th of August 2003.

Description

Dweller is a fantasy roguelike for Java enabled cellphones. A version for desktop computers also exist, but the main focus of development is for mobile platforms. Some of its features are:

  • Three player classes, the Warrior, the Wizard and the Ranger
  • A simple end goal, kill the Goblin king!
  • Random dungeons with side branches
  • Several different monsters (Goblins, Orcs, Trolls, Oozes, Vampires, Rats, Bats, Skeletons and so on)
  • Items, item enchants and named artifact items
  • Merchant to buy and sell items from/to
  • Inventory and equipment
  • Spells and ranged weapons
  • FOV
  • Quests
  • Save/Load
  • Old school pixel graphics and animations
  • Touch screen support

Dweller is designed to run on any MIDP2 or Android OS 1.5+ enabled handset. Older versions also work on MIDP1 handsets, but in 2009 MIDP1 support was abandoned.
