A port of [[Tootsville IV]] that was briefly created for [[Android]].

Due to the inability to import artwork from [[Adobe Flash]], and the lack of time/resources to re-create the artwork, this was an extremely limited version of the game. It featured only chatting in various rooms.

* Characters would be “placed” into an entry point in the room, and immediately walk in a random direction until they hit a wall. They did not activate doors/portals.
* Players using the Android program could not see the room's artwork or the relative placement of characters within the room, but could see a list of names.
* [[Toots]] characters appeared with a Toot head icon showing their skin color and the color of their pattern, but no other details. The pattern (on the tiny icon) always was a set of dots.
* Other non-Toot characters appeared as a generic grey “face” icon.
* The screen could switch between the list of characters in the room (and the room's name); the chat history of everyone speaking in that room; and the list of main rooms to which the player could teleport by [[Magic Compass]], including their [[Home]].

Supported features were:
* Chatting
* [[Operator Commands]]
* [[Emotions]]

Unsupported were actions, using items, etc.

When some items were used in the active room, “fake” characters would appear to join and depart. For example, [[Zap]]'s lightning bolt and [[Shade]]'s balls of mist would show up as though they were characters named things like “shaddowBall~1.” This was a bug.

This program was tested internally but never polished up enough to be released to the public. As of 10:56, 25 July 2016 (PDT) the program code is thought to have been lost.
