Dev log: Android build available
Added 2025-06-15 14:04:25 +0000 UTCHi everyone! After some work to fix a bunch of things and make it more touch screen friendly, I have finally managed to release the first Android port of BFP.
The Android version will be Patreon Supporter exclusive (i.e. there will not be a fully playable free version of the game). I do intend however to create a smaller, limited build that would allow anyone to test whether the game works, looks and perform well on their device.
NOTE: If you are not a Patreon Supporter, and intend to become one solely for the purpose of getting the Android build, please be advised that I offer no guarantees the game will work for you. I have tested the Android version on a Pixel 9 Pro XL only, and as such I cannot offer any promises re: whether it will work, perform or look good on your device. I don't have access to any other Android phones models. My hope is that the limited, free public version mentioned above will eliminate this problem in the near future. It is also possible that if there is not enough interest in the Android version I might end up pulling the plug on it, since it introduces quite a bit of overhead in the work process.
I'm going to quote directly from the v0.6.2 changelog:
First Android port release with adapted controls. It's recommended to play holding the device with two hands, operating the controls with your thumbs. Controls: Swipe up / down (single finger) to increase / decrease effort. Drag with two fingers to rotate camera. Double tap to switch to the next camera profile. The action selector is moved to the left side of the screen for easier access. Most scrollbars have been enlarged to allow for easier control.
I would really appreciate it if you'd share your device model and whether you have / don't have issues with this build.

Awesome, thank you so much for sharing. Re: overheating, I think I need to look into limiting fps (right now it's probably uncapped). I'll cook something up for the next version.
