On screen joystick not working on android

SpaceKoala · February 13, 2025 at 6:25 AM

I am building a html5 game where I have used the on screen joystick on certain frames, using the joystick control and setting the on screen joystick device as "controlled by an extension".

I have tested it on windows devices and it works. However, on android devices the joystick does not appear. Is there some extra step I need to take to make it active on android?

I have not tested it on an ios device yet. If someone has an ipad or iphone and would be kind enough to test it for me, they can access it at Please login to see this link. once you have entered your name, you can click on the green button on the koala's chest plate on the title screen to skip to the level that should have the on screen joystick.

I tried it on a couple of ios devices and the on screen joystick does not work there either. Is it just not available through android and ios via html5 exporter?

Interesting game to learn Japanese

I think for HTML5, Android and iOS you can use the Joystick Control object and Multiple Touch object

Hello, put the functions to activate the joystick in the HTML5 settings.

I've got it setup exactly like that and it works on Windows devices, but not on android and ios...

I opened your game link on my smartphone (Android) and noticed that your html5 game doesn't fit the smartphone screen.

Maybe you should start by fixing that

When the application is used on a mobile device without a keyboard, replace the keys with a virtual joystick or with the accelerometers. The choice is displayed in a combo box: None No joystick is displayed. Touch Joystick A virtual joystick is displayed on the left or right side of the scene. Accelerometer Joystick The joystick is controlled by the device's accelerometers.
