The source project supports phone and tablet play in the browser. Start there; an APK is not required for the browser version.
Set up touch controls
- Open pokesurvivor.com in a current browser and rotate the device to landscape.
- Choose a guest session or your game account. Start a run and drag on the play area to move; the joystick appears at the touch position.
- Tap the move bar to change the active attack. Use the on-screen pause control before adjusting settings.
- Try a short run before relying on a long session. Screen size, browser support and device performance can differ.
Add the game to your home screen
On Android, look in your browser’s menu for an install or Add to Home screen option. On iPhone or iPad, look in Safari’s Share menu for Add to Home Screen. Wording and availability vary by browser and OS.
This adds the browser app, not a separate native App Store release. The project includes an offline cache, but a fresh install still needs resources to load, and online account or co-op functions need a connection. This guide has not certified offline behavior on every device.
If the run feels slow
- Pause and lower the graphics quality in Settings, or try automatic quality.
- Reduce damage-number effects and screen shake if they distract you or add load.
- Close other demanding tabs, then test another short run. Do not clear the game’s site data as a routine performance fix.
If your collection looks missing
Check that you opened the same game address, browser profile and account as before. A different domain or private-browsing session has separate browser storage.
If you used a cloud account, sign back into that account. If you played as a guest and erased its storage, installing a home-screen shortcut does not reconstruct the missing save.
