How to play on a phone or tablet: the touch layout, portrait and landscape, graphics and memory tips, and the limits.

FusionFall Forever on a phone or tablet is the browser game, not an app. You open fusionfall.org in your phone's browser, sign in and play. The game sees the touch screen, shows touch buttons and switches to a lighter graphics profile that fits a phone's memory. Your account, characters and the world are the same as on desktop and web.
Start playing
- Open fusionfall.org in your phone's browser and tap Play Now.
- Sign in with your game account or create one. The sign-in, sign-up and character select screens are sized for phones in portrait, with finger-sized buttons.
- Tap the FusionFall Forever server card.
- Pick or create a character. The character creator splits each step into small tabs on a phone so nothing has to scroll.
The game plays in both portrait and landscape. Landscape gives the most room and adds a second joystick for the camera.
The touch layout
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Left joystick | Move. With CAM: ON it also turns the camera gently toward where you walk |
| Drag on the world | Look around |
| Pinch | Zoom in and out |
| Camera joystick (landscape only) | Turn the camera with your right thumb |
| ATK | Attack your target, talk to a character, use an object. Hold it to keep attacking. It dims when there is nothing to use it on |
| SKILL | Use your Nano's power. It shows only while a Nano is out |
| JUMP | Jump |
| Nano tiles | Tap a tile to call that Nano |
| MENU | Opens the drawer with everything else |
The MENU drawer holds:
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| BAG | Inventory |
| MISSIONS | Mission journal |
| MAP | World map |
| SETTINGS | The game's main menu, with the options |
| BACK | Closes the window that is open |
| SWAP | Switches between your two weapons |
| RIDE | Gets on or off your vehicle, or in and out of your car |
| ITEMS | Shows the quick slots at the bottom of the screen |
| CHAT | Shows the chat panel. The MENU button becomes HIDE CHAT while it is open |
| CAM: ON / OFF | Whether the camera follows your movement |
| BOOST: ON / OFF | Weapon Boosts on or off |
| NANO POTION | Uses a Nano Potion on the Nano that is out |
| SABER | Opens or closes the blade. Shows only while a Fusion Saber is equipped |
| PIXELMON: ON / OFF | Turns Pixelmon on or off on this device |
Movement buttons hide by themselves while a menu, a conversation or a cutscene is open.
Chat is hidden until you tap CHAT. So that you do not miss them, system messages such as "your bag is full" also pop up on screen for a few seconds.
Some features add their own buttons when you need them: GLIDE and DROP for the Gold Glider, a round brass gear for the Ultra Gold Clockwork Hoverboard, arrow buttons and HOLD TO FIRE on cannons, FIRE, LUNGE / RELOAD, GUARD, AUTO and SCORE in the Peach Creek Showdown, and SKIP TUTORIAL during the tutorial. Controls lists them all.
What is different on a phone
- Lighter graphics. Phones use smaller textures, a shorter view distance and fewer effects than a computer. The game picks a level for your device by itself.
- Pixelmon starts switched off on phones and tablets, because it adds a large download and takes screen space. Turn it on with PIXELMON: ON in the MENU drawer; the game remembers your choice.
- Sparkles start on Subtle. Ultra members can change Sparkles to Full or Off in the Ultra menu.
- Quick slots are tucked away. Open them with MENU, then ITEMS.
- No first person. Ultra First Person is for desktop browsers and the desktop game. The Peach Creek Showdown, which is always first person, does work on phones.
- Desktop-only features such as Frostfall Basin and SoulSilver are not available.
Everything else, including Ultra perks, cars, gliders, missions, trading and groups, works as on web. See Desktop, Web and Mobile Differences.
Graphics level
The game chooses a graphics level when it starts, based on your device. iPhones and iPads use their own profile; Android devices get Low, Medium or High.
- You can pick Low, Medium or High yourself on the GRAPHICS page of the options. Your pick is kept and always wins over the automatic choice.
- If the game closes unexpectedly twice in a row while starting, it opens once with Safe graphics and shows a small notice that offers Low. Whatever you answer is kept.
- If the game runs short of memory while you play and you have not picked a level yourself, it can step the level down by itself.
Memory tips
A phone browser gives a tab much less memory than a computer does, and it may close or reload a tab that uses too much. To make that less likely:
- Close other browser tabs and other apps before you play.
- Leave Pixelmon off if your phone struggles.
- Pick Low on the GRAPHICS page on an older phone.
- If the game stutters badly after a long session, reload the page. You come back to the same character.
If the game drops or the tab reloads
- When you switch apps, lock the phone or lose signal, the game keeps your world on screen and shows Reconnecting... when you return. It puts you back with the same character.
- If the browser closed or reloaded the tab, open it again within 5 minutes and the game takes you straight back into the world with your last character, without the menus.
- After a longer break you start again from the site: tap Play Now and sign in.
Tips
- Try landscape for fights. The camera joystick lets you turn the view with your right thumb while the left one moves.
- Turn CAM: OFF if you prefer to aim the camera only by dragging.
- The mission tracker sits under the minimap.
- On a phone with a notch or rounded corners, the buttons stay inside the safe area of the screen.
- You can use joystick, camera and ATK at the same time: each finger is tracked on its own.
