Incremental Gains

Unfortunately, no. After some attempts and testing, it's become clear that I'd have to eliminate core gameplay elements to streamline things for the smaller screen, which means re-balancing everything to make a worse game with less player agency.

Additionally, making the options viable for thumbing instead of clicking means rewriting the game from scratch to use imagemap selection instead of Ren'Py's default menu choice selection system. I'm not going to build a scaling omniscreen compatible GUI and rewrite the whole of the code.

It annoys me too when a game on Itch I want to play isn't browser or phone compatible. But, unfortunately for this game, them's the breaks.

Thanks! <3

Testing is ongoing. There are some issues with button sizes and sensitivity that make the current version insufferable on a phone - I'm experimenting with workarounds.
Thank you for letting me know you want it though. It's impossible to gauge interest without this kind of comment.

Update : It's not looking good.

Second Update : I'm giving up. To make it Android-compatible I'd have to reduce the number of available options in play, which means rebalancing everything, simplifying an already simplified game (the original version had both prestige and mid-'level' researchable upgrades with emergent synergies), starting over on all the playtesting... it'd be easier to make a new game from scratch at this point. I may still be able to eek out a browser-exclusive version that automates the clicking a little to compensate for the browser-parser delay, in which case that should be playable in a phone browser...hopefully.
