Glitch on Android

Just wanted to show everyone how the site formats on Android, and probably other mobile browsers. I'm using Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) on a Sprint HTC Hero with the stock browser. While supplies last, results may vary, etc.

Instructions:

All you have to do is open beta.glitch.com and complete the login ritual. Then you're in!

Here's the homepage: http://i.imgur.com/P7uHQ.jpg

The forums: http://i.imgur.com/Kg2C5.jpg

The encyclopedia: http://i.imgur.com/2Z1f2.jpg

Bonus tip! If you bookmark the home page, go to your home screen on your phone, long press, select Shortcut, select Bookmark, and choose the Glitch bookmark, you get this awesome icon for your homescreen: http://i.imgur.com/dxfMj.jpg

This isn't all that complicated, but I figured people may want to see some screenshots anyway.

  • MzMunchken - and the wooden icon looks so awesome on the screen! I can wait until there's a real app behind it.

  • Haha, yeah, I've been using Glitch on my Droid Incredible pretty effectively, but I can't actually PLAY the game. Just the standard text and HTML-based stuff.

    I hope Flash gets its crap together and makes it possible to actually play on a Droid. :P

  • It's not Glitch on android! It's just website on android!

    You made me believe that someone played glitch on HTC ;-(

  • @TKT could I have an invite to the Android group please.  I have the G icon to prove I am worthy! ;-)

  • A couple of weeks ago I reported a small bug where, whilst one is learning a skill, there is no indication as to which skill is progressing. Hopefully they'll sort it soon. Will check when the game is back up.

  • I have a teeny Motorola Flipout android phone, so I doubt trying to play it on that will be possible XD Fiddly at best! Though I'm curious to try it out of morbid curiosity...

  • @Cerulean re: "I hope Flash gets its crap together and makes it possible to actually play on a Droid. :P"


    The likelihood that the Flash implementation of Glitch would be playable on any mobile device is slim. When you play Glitch on your computer, open your Task manager (if you're on Windows) or your Activity Monitor (if you're using a Mac) and notice how many of your resources are being dedicated to Shockwave Flash. 


    Its a lot, more than any current mobile device can handle for sure.


    To make the game usable on a mobile OS, Tiny Speck would probably need to implement a customized version that doesn't use Flash.

  • @Double Rainbow - invited!

    @Kimbot - yeah, actually playing the game on our phones won't be practical, maybe ever. But we can still do all the other fun stuff!
    Posted 19 months ago by That Kid Tyler Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh, yes - forums and what-not would be fine, even on my phone... still I'm curious about the actual game and how that fairs. Oh, can I get an invite please? :)

  • I'd be happy being able to learn skills (which works now) inventory management (moving stuff around in my bags) and auctions (buying and selling).  That's not asking too much is it?

  • i know some people have been playing the full glitch game using puffin browser or cloudbrowser for iphone and ipad, which run the flash content on a server somewhere sending back video of it while accepting inputs from the mobile device.

    performance probably isn't great, but people have done it before.
