Play PokeSurvivor on Android, iPhone or tablet in a landscape browser at pokesurvivor.com. Drag anywhere to move; the joystick appears where you touch. Tap a move icon to switch attacks and use the top-right button to pause. You can install it to the home screen as a web app. There is no released official Android APK.
Play on a phone or tablet
Open pokesurvivor.com in a mobile browser and rotate the device to landscape. The game uses the full screen and a touch joystick. A desktop-style keyboard is not required.
Mobile support was added on 9 October 2026. Older guides that describe a desktop-only game are out of date. The game is still a browser game, not a native mobile app.
Touch controls
| Action | Touch control |
|---|---|
| Move | Drag a finger anywhere; the joystick appears where you touch. |
| Switch active move | Tap a move icon. |
| Pause | Top-right pause button. |
| Attack | Automatic. |
The joystick is not fixed to one corner by default; it appears at the touch point. You can choose a fixed joystick in Settings → Controls if you prefer a stable position. The controls guide covers the PC equivalent.
Install to the home screen
The official guide says you can install the game as an app with “Add to Home Screen.” On Android Chrome, use the browser menu → Add to Home screen / Install app. On iPhone Safari, use Share → Add to Home Screen. The result is a web app shortcut, not an APK.
A home-screen install still needs a connection for the online game. It does not convert the game into the author’s offline ZIP. For offline solo play, use the download package described in the download guide.
Is there an APK?
No released official Android APK. APKPure has a pre-register page with “Release Date: COMING SOON,” but that is not a download and not an author release. The official game is the browser version and the author’s itch.io offline package.
Do not install an APK from a third-party site and enter an official account. The account database is tied to the official host; a repackaged APK is not an official client. The save guide explains the copy-site database limit.
Button layout and quality
Settings → Controls lets you drag the attack, pause and joystick buttons, and choose a fixed joystick. The 14 October update added this layout control. Settings also includes graphics quality with an automatic mode, damage numbers, shake reduction, FPS and sound.
If the game feels slow, lower the graphics quality before changing the build. A phone with a high-refresh display can still struggle with a full horde if the quality is set too high. The troubleshooting guide separates performance from connection symptoms.
Mobile limits
- Landscape is the designed orientation. Portrait play is not the intended layout.
- No keyboard. Use the touch joystick; a Bluetooth keyboard is not a documented requirement.
- Backgrounding can pause or disconnect. A phone call, app switch or screen lock can interrupt the run.
- Cloud account needed for cross-device progress. A guest session is not saved.
- No official APK. A third-party APK is not the same product.
For a first mobile run, read the first-run guide and choose a ranged or wide opening move. The starter table lists the opening moves.
