We definitely put a lot of work into Rogue Touch. As far as audio goes, in-game only has an ambient background of dungeon noises right now (various creaking, rats, etc but it sets the mood well). We're still trying to gather up enough unique monster sounds to assign them to every creature as an update- maybe even using stereo to our advantage, so you can hear something shuffling in the darkness to your left or right :) Since the original rogue has no audio at all (or graphics or animation for that matter) we figured we'd start small and see how people like it. The original ASCII graphics did not make it into version 1.0, but I can promise you they're not forgotten and will appear as an easter-egg type of option in the future! I'm a poster in the TouchArcade forums too (been around here lurking since the doors opened), so if you have any questions feel free to ask!

Not pretty enough? Evidently you're not familiar with the history of Rogue. You're lucky it's not ASCII graphics. (If we're lucky, it's an option.) ;) With animation, sound, and a transparent map overlay ..damn ..this is super Deluxe Rogue! You don't think it's pretty enough, evidently you're of the console generation, and would be better off with Vay. :p @kia Eh? Not pretty enough?
