About

A source port of the DOS game God of Thunder for Android, with added quality-of-life features. It is described as being in a very early beta state and was tested on a Retroid Pocket 6.

How it differs from the original

Adds on-screen touch controls that show and hide automatically, plus remappable controls optimized for handhelds.

Getting started

You need the game files from a licensed copy, and any version of the main data file works, including shareware or freeware. Put that file in a folder on your device and select the folder when the game asks on first launch; if the game closes, the file is the wrong version.

The project is in super beta status and has been tested on Retroid Pocket 6.
Rock trolls do not throw their boulders as much as before.
The font format and color in the BBS screen are broken.

Birds have limited ability to shoot diagonally.
Listed bugs include a player getting stuck in the episode 2 dark room board, rock trolls throwing boulders less often, and a broken font in the BBS screen.
