How Many Dudes? NX v1.0.0

The first public release of the unofficial How Many Dudes? Android wrapper for Nintendo Switch.

This port runs the original Android ARM64 GameMaker runner natively through a lightweight Android/JNI compatibility layer.

Features

  • Fully playable gameplay
  • Touch-screen controls
  • ASTC texture rendering
  • Native audio playback
  • In-game cutscene support
  • Local saves and preferences
  • Suspend and resume support
  • Optimized performance during high-unit-count battles
  • Automatic handheld and docked resolutions
  • Built-in crash and performance logging

Controls

This game is designed around tapping, dragging, and direct unit placement. Therefore, this port intentionally uses the Nintendo Switch touch screen.

Handheld mode is required for practical gameplay. Joy-Con and Pro Controller controls are not currently supported.

Installation

This release does not include any copyrighted game files.

You need a legally obtained Android ARM64 APK of How Many Dudes?, specifically build 100.0.890 (com.bscotch.hmd).

From the APK, extract:

  • lib/arm64-v8a/libyoyo.so
  • The complete assets/ folder
  • The APK itself, renamed to game.apk

Place everything on your SD card as follows:

sdmc:/switch/hmd_nx/
├── hmd_nx.nro
├── libyoyo.so
├── game.apk
└── assets/
    ├── game.droid
    └── ...

Launch the Homebrew Menu using a full title override by holding R while opening an installed game. Applet/Album mode is not supported.

See the repository README for automatic Windows setup and complete instructions.

Limitations

  • Google Play Games, cloud saves, achievements, billing, ads, and Android in-app updates are unavailable.
  • Other APK versions may use a different GameMaker runner and are not guaranteed to work.
  • Controller input is not implemented.
