^There's been a thread on it already, page 2 of these forums.

It seems to be fine, it's 1-2 versions old, definitely not national LCS, I think 1 version behind the last main release, could be before banks even, can't remember. It's a pretty decent port, but like most phone games it causes me hand issues because of the placement of the buttons. It's also a lot harder to play without an actual keyboard, even though the controls are fine... it's just too slow to press what you want because there needs to be a button for each keyboard key you would have. Also it doesn't have auto-wait (press S to wait until an encounter happens), so you have to keep moving or waiting to get an encounter. Otherwise, works pretty well, still a few bugs but it works.

Yeah, fairly decent. There was a thread asking if it was possible to port to Android a little while ago, got dismissed as possible but hard work. When that thread that BoxOfAids posted was made, many people were amazed that someone had made it and it had gone basically unnoticed by many people. I'd happily say a solid port, a few issues (it froze on me a few times for various reasons) but a step in the right direction,  nonetheless.

I did, and even though there were some glaring bugs, it's decent for abusing phones as handheld video game consoles.

It's a good port just I like the quick gameplay and on my phone its not as fast and takes a while to get used to the controlls :S
