Mobile nostalgia

Back when Java ME was a thing, I wrote a couple of simple mobile apps. Time has passed, and with my last feature phone now retired, there's probably no-one left to use them. So here they are, archived for posterity:

• Alea: an ergonomic RPG dice roller for feature phones.
• Pocket Gopher: a minimal client for the Gopher protocol.

I never picked up again in the touchscreen era, but a number of my web games do work on Android smartphones (external links):

• Square Shooter
• Buzz Grid
• Glittering Light and its sequel
• Lost in the Jungle
• Electric Rogue
• Keep of the Mad Wizard
