About this game

Play many Commander Keen for free on your Android device! The released Shareware versions (1, 4 and Keen Dreams) are free to play and downloaded within the CG store which is part of the app. Just click on "+ More", choose your favorite game and enjoy.

If you don't see the "+ More" button next to "Start >" in the games list, be patient. Sometimes, closing the App and opening it again helps. It really depends on your internet connection and server reachability.

Episode 2, 3, 5 and 6 can also be played when you copy them to your data directory (Check the readme file for details). You can get Episode 2, 3 and 5 on Steam. Keen 6 is harder to get (ebay might help). We are not allowed to publish them in the store, sorry.

Controls: If you don't have or want to connect a gamepad to your mobile device, you can enable the virtual pad in the main menu under Configure->Overlay->VirtPad. If you have a gamepad, you should configure it first. Here an example how to do that: https://youtu.be/9AAe2f4W7nk

NOTE: About reviewing and rating this product: If the app malfunctions, please contact us, instead of doing bad reviews. We do not earn money with this product, so we won't care. Still though the developer group is very active and helpful if you ask politely. Of course we are very happy when you give us good ratings. You can also donate if you want. For more information about that check our website.

NOTE: This app does not bring any games. When you start the app, it downloads them for you using the internal store. The store has a lot to offer, not just the Keen games free to play, also some great fan mods.

The games work fine from what I can remember, but the settings are not great, if I accidentally press one wrong button when changing the size of the screen, everything turns blurry, small and unreadable then I either have to mess around with the settings for 5 minutes and hope to get lucky or uninstall the game and then reinstall it

While the transition to the newest SDL framework has been a bit bumpy, the dev has been nothing short of immensely helpful when helping me get the new CGenius up and running, adding support for USB gamepads like the Razer Kishi, fixing crashes, and being very open to feedback regarding bug reports and feature requests. I can heartily recommend CGenius once more, without hesitation!

Thanks for your feedback. Yes, this transition was certaintly rough, but SDL2 is here to stay and I am pretty sure there will be more support for games, mods and hardware in the future.

A++ nostalgia factor, basically exactly as I remember it- I think there are even more options in this version than the original. Controls are a bit counterintuitive, but I got used to them. Current issue: when I teleported back from the "secret" city, I ended up outside the map boundaries and unable to get back in. Frustrating because I had almost finished the game! Got to stroll through space though, so there's that.
