Advent for Android

Getting around in the game is awkward. IMHO, focus should automatically be set to the input area after each move. I used to play the original-ish version on the Honeywell AN/UYK 65-V when I was new in the US Navy, back in the 80’s. So it’s kind of reminiscent. Just having to manually set focus to the input area every move is annoying and takes away from the enjoyment of playing. I’ve played a version, maybe on an Android platform, that had a compass rose which also included up and down, that you touched to move around.

There is a church and a crypt in this version that I’ve never seen in the original. There is a bug in the crypt code. Trying to do anything with the candles causes the game to crash. It will restart before the command where you tried to do something with the candles. Still, I very much appreciate the port. Everyone should get to try these games.

I download this a while ago when I found it. Very nostalgic since this was the first interactive fiction game I played as a child. Back then i plaid it on my friend's fathers teletype terminal which he would to connect a mainframe from home via an acoustic modem. I was surprised to see the game updated this week (4/15/2017). I like this update better . Nice use of scroll back. Text size and command window placement perfect.

As stated above there is no way to tap play and begin the game. Something is wrong and I wish I could fix this bug.
