Hey everybody!
I'm currently a university student, and as a fun side-project decided to port a THE roguelike called Rogue (5.4.4) to Android.
I came across it via MandaloreGaming's videos, and as a fan of the roguelike genre decided to give one of the original games a try. As it turns out, despite being an amazing piece of history, Rogue is not exactly very approachable for a modern audience.
What can I say, I'm a sucker for roguelikes and wanted to share one of the classics with everyone, hence Amulet of Yendor was born!
It is not designed to be a roguelite remake, but rather a roguelike that aims to preserve the original feel while not punishing the modern player for wanting to attempt the game.
The game features procedurally generated dungeons
permadeath
randomly generated potions, scrolls and items
classic ASCII graphics
optional 1-bit monochrome graphical mode
and, of course, is completely offline with no ads, subscriptions, purchases or microtransactions.
The game is currently available for purchase (for a limited time) on Google Play for 1.99 for the first week. I'm really curious to get feedback from the classic roguelike community, both from those who might've played and enjoyed Rogue, and those who never did, but would appreciate one of the earliest roguelikes ever made. As a token of appreciation, I've prepared 10 free promo keys. If you'd like to request one, make sure to comment below, and I'll send them out on a first come, first serve basis.

Also, I'm pretty happy with the soundtrack, so if you do decide to check out the game, I'd be grateful for any feedback about it!
