 | The downloads for Keen 5 and 6 mods will not include the executable necessary to play the game (they are still not free to distribute). You will need to put your own executable in the mod directory and unpack it with UNLZEXE prior to playing for the first time. |
This is an alphabetical list of all Keen: Galaxy mods, one-level mods and level packs ever made for Keen. It also includes some in-progress mods.
- Please click on the triangles to sort by different categories. i.e. if you click first on "Modder(s)" then on "Mod of", you will get a list that is sorted by which game was modded, and further sorted by modder name. Refresh the page to reset all sort settings.
- Only the newest version of each mod or level pack is listed in the Download column; additional versions of mods or level packs may be found on their respective wiki pages.
- Dates format: year-month-day (the release date is always for the first version of the mod, if known)
For a pictorial per-episode list choose from the following instead: Keen 4 mods, Keen 5 mods, Keen 6 mods.
Mods
A mod, or modification, is the alteration of content in order to make it operate in a manner different from its original version. They can include new items, modded weapons, characters, enemies, models, tile-sets, levels, music, story lines and game modes.

Changed Gameplay Mods
This topic contains mods which differ largely from the ordinary Keen Galaxy gameplay. (Nearly) all mods in this category have substantial similarity in a distinctive gameplay derived from heavy patching.
