This project has been discontinued and will no longer receive updates. It has been superseded by SKapsule.
All users and developers are highly encouraged to migrate to SKapsule.
SKapsule is a new, from-scratch Android (arm64) port of Spiral Knights that runs the real Spiral Knights desktop client on your phone or tablet. It ships a custom JRE and a set of native libraries, booting the game's own Java VM on-device. The game code and assets are downloaded and patched directly from the official servers at runtime, exactly like the official desktop client.
- Full Client Experience: Downloads and patches the game from the official servers at first launch (via getdown).
- Account Support: Play using your own Spiral Knights account, supporting both Web and Steam login options.
- Gamepad-First Controls: Gameplay is designed for Bluetooth/USB controllers, with touch intended for menu navigation.
- Robust Build System: Full from-source builds for all native components (gl4es, openal-soft, lwjgl3, caciocavallo, frenchpress) using modern Android toolchains.
- Supported Architecture: Exclusively targets
arm64-v8afor modern devices (Android 8.0+).
