Phone and tablet
A real strategy game on a phone, without the app store
This is the same game the desktop gets, running in your phone's browser. No app store, no install, no permissions prompt. Turn the phone sideways and play.
Play free in your browser No download, no installer, no account needed to start a match.The touch controls
Every order the mouse can give has a touch equivalent. Nothing is desktop-only.
- Tap a ship or planet to select it or open its panel.
- Tap a planet while ships are selected issues the order — send in the galaxy view, attack if it is hostile.
- One finger drag pans. Two-finger pinch zooms, and the map tracks your fingers directly.
- Press and hold for about half a second acts as a right-click: a move or attack order at that point.
- Drag from one of your planets to another sends that planet's entire orbiting fleet.
- View / System / All buttons replace box-select and Ctrl+A, and Galaxy / Planet buttons replace the E keys.
Landscape only, and why
Hold the phone in portrait and you get a rotate prompt rather than a squeezed game. The galaxy map, the system view and the HUD all assume a wide frame, and the honest options were "ask you to turn the phone" or "ship a worse game in portrait". We picked the first.
Galaxy to ground, one continuous zoom
Scroll out and you are reading a galaxy map. Scroll in and it unfolds into a single star system. Keep going and you are standing on the planet, watching a real-time ground battle for the bunker. No loading screens between the three.
A 4X match that fits in a coffee break
You take your first world in under a minute. The research ladder, doctrine drafting and planet specialisation are all there — they just resolve in the time a grand-strategy game spends on its tutorial.
Up to 30 commanders on one map
Solo matches run at 4, 8, 16 or 30 commanders against bots. Multiplayer is a live 30-player free-for-all with private lobbies if you would rather bring your own.
Runs in the tab you already have open
No installer, no launcher, no account required to play. It is a WebGL build that starts on a laptop, a Chromebook or a phone held sideways.
Questions people actually ask
- Can I play this on my phone?
- Yes. Yes, on a phone or tablet held in landscape. Touch controls cover selection, orders and camera. There is no app to install — it runs in the mobile browser.
- Is there an iOS or Android app?
- No, and you do not need one. The game runs in Safari or Chrome on the phone itself, which is why there is nothing to download and nothing taking up storage.
- Why does it ask me to rotate my phone?
- The game is landscape-only. The galaxy map and HUD are built for a wide frame, so instead of shipping a cramped portrait layout it asks you to turn the device.
