Alite Like Elite But On Android

[Geraldine]

Just discovered this today over on the SSC board an Elite-a-like that runs on Android. Its free so why not give it a try?
Have a look at this thread over on the SSC for more details and you can download the game here.
And here are some pictures.

And now videos..

Thanks Geraldine

 

[Jezzah]

Actually quite good this. Cheers Geraldine.

Yes, tilting the screen to move the ship is a bit different but very playable indeed.

I think expansions (OXPs, kinda) may be added at some point too - nice work.

 

[Geraldine]

Actually it reminds me of Oolite a bit too or what it might be if an Android port was done.

 

[Cody]

It's using Oolite models and textures - see the forum.

Ah, that will explain the "Oolite feel" to it then. My only problem with it is the small screen on my old phone. I cant read the text very well. Still, a fine effort that will suit more modern bigger screened phones and tablets very well. Will save this one for the archive for when I do have something better to run it on methinks.

Yes I see it now on the Oolite board.

 

[Cody]

I have no devices, Android or otherwise, not even a phone, so I've not actually tried it.

 

[Geraldine]

I am amazed actually that anyone saw this thread on this day of all days with FDs big announcement and all.

I was going to link it in the Oolite thread - but you ninja'd me! <grins> Seasons? Bah humbug!

Deepspace Ships OXP textures, to be more precise.

How hard would an iOS port be? I would love to play Elite on my phone!

<nods> I used that set briefly way back - then Griff's stuff caught my eye!

Good spotting there Zieman.

You should still link it into the Oolite post Cody as its likely as not this thread will soon be buried and lost in time....like....tears...in the rain

I still use a modded (I added normalmaps and lightmaps) version in my Oolite install, to add variety.

Might be worth some of the credits I've racked up on the Google Store.

Tablets have more of a future for my gameplay. Getting older, and poorer.

Fear not Ralph, Alite is free!

Seems like a unknown gem of a game, hope this will save me boredom hours in the bus. Installing now. Thank you for sharing.

PS- If the OP could add the trailer to the top of the page I think it should be seen for the newcomers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPp48UcKlqI
