0 awkways Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 This would be a good idea imo, would make it kinda reminiscent of the classic GBC handhelds devices, since they're probably around the same size. Additionally, you could have about half or slightly less of the bottom screen as the chat box, maybe with the A,B + directional buttons just above it. The most annoying thing to me with mobile currently is that its pretty much talk OR play instead of both seamlessly, like the desktop version is. Putting the screen portrait mode, or at least giving us the option to play that way would be a great idea. Hell, I've even seen some Chinese walk-through videos on how to actually do this but it was by forcing the app into a re-sizable 2nd window basically on top of the home screen. Still, it shows the demand to play this way. If I can find it (and don't forget), I'll link the video/walk-through below eventually. Archon, Hythalius, porcmare and 1 other 4 Link to comment
0 Eggplant Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) +1. Even if playing in landscape, i would probably rotate my phone to portrait just to type. Or when I only have one free hand. a gameboy style screen layout definitely sounds neat. Edited April 10, 2019 by Eggplant porcmare and Archon 2 Link to comment

Since i cant speak cn i doubt ill be able to find it RIP, I'd help look but billibilli is like CN Twitch and PokeMMO is a super popular topic on it, I'm not watching through every single video till I find it .-. Force-resizing and playing landscape apps in portrait mode are easy to look up guides on but it looks really clumsy tbh. I like awkways' idea on how portrait mode should work.

And it'd solve the problem of not being able to chat/play at the same time. Wish I could upvote the suggestion more than once :( Link to comment
0 GBush Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I currently play this game on a blackberry. And the forced apps that make it portrait mode make my text illegible. Looking at the screen sideways while typing on my keyboard is frustrating. Please. Link to comment
0 Guest Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) My phone mic hole is in the most awkward position in the case that I always cover it as a necessary evil to play AndroidMMO; so being able to play portrait mode would be a blessing to my Discord calls so that I may not sound muffled and stuff lol Edited May 7, 2019 by Guest Link to comment
0 Borowskus Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I don't even play on mobile and these are all extremely valid reasons to feature portrait mode on mobile. :) GBush 1 Link to comment
