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

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.
