Pathos has just been published as an Android app on the Google Play store!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.x10host.pathos
(Pathos is a tile graphics roguelike built on the entire rule set from Nethack).
Works really well on my Nexus 9 tablet but no idea about any other device! Don't try and play on your phone though.
Also includes a new update for the level 25 end game. I won't give any spoilers but it brutal and there lots of treasure.

Any chance of making compatible with older android devices? Says it is not compatible with mine. Keyocera hydrolife. Was really looking forward to checking it out. :'(

Pathos requires a tablet running Android 5.x. Sorry, I would have stated that from the beginning but the Android ecosystem is a bit of a learning curve!
The Keyocera Hydrolife appears to be a phone running Android 4.x? So you might be out of luck twice there.
I'm not sure roguelikes translate very well to a small screen but I haven't done the work for the phone UI in any case.
The Android 5.x requirement is something I hope to relax but needs some more research. For the devs out there, there is a ~15 view hierarchy depth limitation that is present in 4.x and seems to be resolved in 5.x. This issue manifests as a stackoverflow error that ends the app... ouch.
If it's any consolation, the Windows version is 100% code sharing with the Android version. Hope you get a chance to check it out.

@Legend, I've been able to reduce the requirements to Android 4.4 and above.
Hopefully you can now install from Google Play!
Would be great to hear how you go.

thanks for trying. Unfortunately, it still tells me my device isn't compatible with this version and doesn't allow me to download.

@Legend, I have adapted Pathos for the phone - it's now available on Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.x10host.pathos (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.x10host.pathos)
I recommend playing in portrait orientation on a phone and landscape on a tablet.

thanks for trying again, I just checked it out and unfortunately it still says that my device isn't compatible. :(

@Legend, well no one can say that we didn't try! I think your phone must be on Android 4.3 (jelly bean)? It needs to be on 4.4, do you have an upgrade path? So close yet so far!
-
yeah. looks like it is 4.3. whenever I try hitting system updates, it just tells me that it couldn't connect even though there is signal. Oh well. I do appreciate you trying though. Looks really cool.
