Powder is a roguelike developed specifically for the Gameboy Advance (GBA). It is not a port of an existing roguelike as the controls of the GBA are very different from the traditional keyboard and the screen imposes some additional limitations. It is built around replayability and long term ergonomics, not short term learning.

FredLobster's review of Powder
As much as I love the idea of there being more roguelikes in the world, this one's just too barebones to keep me interested. Points for effort, but it's just not very good.

Nothing like using a wand of polymorph to become an Air Elemental that will crush all enemies in the early floors, only to be killed by a gelatinous cube because it paralyzed you.

My very first proper roguelike title and one I keep going back to. The beautiful graphical tilesets, witty monster and spell descriptions and the almost irresistible desire to dig the wall to check out what is that which "feels like an impossible fight" are some of the things that keep my desire to die play.
