Navigating Glitch with an iPad

Can anyone tell me how to climb trees?  I am using Puffin browser on my iPad and I can do everything but climb trees.  I don't have arrow keys on my pop-up keyboard. I thought using W (as in wasd) would work, but it doesn't.

Thanks!

  • There are alternative keyboards with arrow keys on Cydia and in the app store.

  • I use iSwifter and don't like the difficulty of jumping or climbing, but what really bothers me is not being able to drag and drop. Fox brushing is right out, in other words.

  • Thank you all for your replies - they have given me some good leads.  Misty, do you know if the Photon built-in keyboard includes arrow keys?

  • I've had to use levitation or spinach to go up, using puffin, no arrows.

  • @ Airya
    Puffin is a flash enabled browser for ipad/iphone. it works to a degree. Good for fondling icons and pottering about at home. Out in UR is not so clever as you cant jump etc. I may add if you use it dont go complaining the the devs about any problems you may be having, as to my knowledge it is NOT a browser supported by TS at all. :)

    Tends to run S L O W :)

  • @Kalaralara Yep! You click the keyboard button and you can see the a keyboard and on top are the arrow keys. There are multiple mouse selections so you can drag and drop items, use a mouse and finally, just touch selection. So you can go bounding in Balzare or Roobrik to your hearts content.

  • Is it slow... I have photon... how do you harvest crops???  I couldn't figure it out.  Just clicking on the herb didn't bring up a menu or anything?

  • I use the Rover browser to play Glitch on my iPad and I really like it. There are arrow keys and a space bar without having to open up the full keyboard and waste half of the screen, and it's free too! :-)

  • I've forgotten about trying to play glitch on the iPad  I'll have to try some of these.  Still dreaming of the day glitch gets translated to html5 (yes I know, dream on) :)

  • Voice interface on the touch screen devices would be cool...save alot of typing

    Other systems manage this......

  • I can load the game on my Android tablet (Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 running ICS) without any difficulty. Android has native Flash 11 and Firefox.

    But I couldn't figure out how to jump.

    It could still be useful in 'flat' places, i.e. I could load the game up away from home to harvest milk and meat from machines

  • Has anyone managed to use a bluetooth keyboard with any of these flash browswers? That may solve a lot of the movement issues.

  • Saraphina, as far as I can tell, Photon allows me to use my Logitech keyboard to play Glitch and Rover does not. I'm just testing it out now. But I have to say that lag issues aside playing Glitch on an iPad with the Logitech keyboard on Photon is very similar to playing on my computer. You can use the space bar to jump and the arrow keys on the computer to move.

  • I use photon, and after the most recent upgrade it's twice as fast! Harvest herbs just by clicking (@ennuienta). It has built in arrow keys, but wasd also works. It's somewhat harder, but there's nothing I *can't* do. I find it easiest to play in mouse mode, not touch or drag, because it's more precise than trying to tap.

  •  Dorgan, be sure you don't update your OS, mobile flash support is gone.

    I use Photon on the iphone as well, works just fine.
