iPad / tablet too hard to play

Just tried playing on iPad using a flash app. Unfortunately it is to hard to play. Speed/lag/latency was not the issue it was the in game controls. Please make this game easier to play using mouse / tablet touch screen only. If I click above my character's head he should jump up or if I click up to a platform he should jump up to that platform. Make a toggle that allows me to choose to have a pop up menu show up every time I click on another person, or not. Maybe only show interaction menu if I double click on person. This game could be really fun on a tablet with only a few small changes.

Anyone else have any ideas?

  • I don't think TinySpeck could do anything to make playing on a tablet easier, short of making a native iOS app themselves and I'm fairly sure I read they don't plan on doing that (at least not for the full game).

  • Yeah I use Puffin for my iPad and it gets the job done for simple stuff like collecting resources in your back yard and such. Definitely not a pc browser replacement.

  • Moroni, the game wasn't developed to be played on a tablet, and that's why you may find yourself running into difficulties if you try to do so.

  • I dont think it will be to hard to make it HTML 5 or atleast make a app .They will get more players atleast.

  • It would be unfathomably difficult to make it an HTML 5 app.  Probably a total rewrite of the entire code base.  And HTML5 for gaming is still vapor at this point.

  • TK, the keyboard hasn't worked for glitch in Puffin, but I'm sure it is a matter of time before we can use it.
