Could you build this?

Partial Adding touch controls and an Android wrapper is doable with AI assistance, but porting the game's engine and logic to native Android requires understanding its source or binary. That depends on the game's architecture and licensing, which vibe coding alone won't resolve.

What it would actually take: A real port would need the game's source code or a reverse-engineered engine, typically C/C++ compiled via the NDK with SDL or a custom renderer and OpenGL ES or Vulkan. Touch input mapping and performance tuning are straightforward UI work. The hard parts are engine-level porting, asset format handling, and the legal question of which code can be redistributed.
