Member Jan 3rd, 2020 Posts: 12 Pixpets: 22 Pixdex: 17 | 3 Years ago Jun 11th, 2020 - 1:56 PM Nr. 1 #36733 3I primarily play Pixpet on a mobile device- my Smartphone to be exact. So I looked through the forum and thought it might be a good idea to add a topic for the discussion of improvements for mobile users... To start off this topic, I want to address the issue of the Pixpet arcade games. I have only been able to play the games on my Smartphone a few times but from the times I did play, I remember there was little-to-no mobile support; the controls were... Not mobile friendly. If i remember correct the pyadeer deliverer had SOME kind of functional GUI interface working but the controls were very very hard to use. To improve this I suggest that a robust mobile friendly GUI be made for Mobile device users FOR the Pixpet arcade games. To add onto that: if it is not possible to add a GUI to the Pixpet arcade games, then why not make a unique game that is specifically designed to support mobile app users |

But I see that you're mainly referring to the minigames, and admittedly, two of the games (Sunobra Chase and Pydeer Deliverer) were made with PC players in mind. Pydeer Deliverer does have controls on mobile, and you can fullscreen the game to make it easier to play, but the mobile controls don't work properly -- at least for me, pressing one of the directional arrows simply makes Pydeer jerk slightly in that direction, but holding the button does nothing. I'm not a dev, so I'm not sure how easy or hard it would be to reprogram those games to be playable on mobile, but I agree it would be nice to have more games designed for mobile users. On the bright side, Roodoku works great on mobile (even though I get an error at the beginning, it works for me anyway), and it happens to be the only minigame so far that rewards pixcoins. Then there's the upcoming Pixpet Adventure, which is being made especially with mobile users in mind, and it's not just a minigame either, but something much bigger. You can read more about it here if you're interested. |

Press OK if you wish to continue anyway." This is the same error that I get. Before trying anything else in this post, just press OK and see what happens. If it works, the next thing you'll see is a loading bar. It might take about 30 seconds to load the game. @Gabe So my next question is a dumb one: did you let the page fully load? I ask because I see in your screenshot that one of the site banner ads has loaded, but the other one hasn't (it's the yellow rectangle on the right). This makes me think that the page didn't fully load, and maybe the game didn't have a chance to load. Try waiting a full minute on that page to see what happens. Second question: do you have WebGL enabled? You can check by typing chrome://flags into your browser and search for webgl in the search box. You should see something like this: Edit: Here's a link to my image if you can't enlarge it; I'm having trouble with imgur lol: imgur.com/a/CTUQitB If it says disabled, go ahead and enable it, relaunch Chrome, open Roodoku again, and wait another full minute. Let me know what happens! |

I guess I should change my suggestion to say: 'Set the font color of arcade games error message text to a darker font color for mobile interfaces(when using dark/night mode)'. -thats assuming that everyone else who sees the error message, also views a white box and not a different color box, :p Dark Mode: Normal Mode: |

I'll let Komodo know about it... So, what happened when you pressed OK? :o |
