Dweller == Roguelike on cellular phones!

Roguelike games are all about imagination and that's what make those so fun to play, there is no limit to imagination!

For those of you who remember games like Rogue, Larn, Moria, Dungeons & Dragons and AD&D you may skip the following mind trip and go read to the right

Now imagine this:

You're at the movie theatre but there is still 10 minutes left before the movie begin so you start Dweller for the 1st time...

Like written on the screenshot, your goal is to kill the Goblin King.

You start next to a tree and there is a jackal running to you. You manage to get rid of the jackal easily but wait, there are more coming! You end up with a few gold coins and while walking near the dungeon entrance you pickup some mushrooms.

SAVE the game because the movie begins!

The next day (waiting for the bus) you start Dweller and LOAD the game saved yesterday. Isn't that cool?

You enter the dungeon and see something on the ground about 20' away. You go get it and it's a metal cap! You're no more bald!

A few step farther, an arrow pass very close to your head. You see a Goblin archer aiming at you, you run, grab the Goblin and kill it. You now feel more confident and this give you better strength.

The bus arrives, you enter, get a seat and continue playing...

One single game can last
over 4 hours!

Forget free ringtones, there are also cool free games available!

Dweller is like no other game! Some will say it's not graphically attractive but hey, I got V-Rally2 with my T637 and found it was boring. A race game with a joystick!? I think games like BlackJack or PokerDice fits better on a cell phone. Now there is Dweller!

If your cellular can run Java (J2ME) then today is your lucky day!
