Elements on iphone

[Zerker]

Ok today i downloaded the photon flash browser App and it is possible to play elements with it on iphone. Now i want to hear your opinion about it because i think it is too slow to play the game effective i hope nobody buys this app only to try only people who already have that app should do it because it costs money.

I play it every so often from my HTC Evo 3D, no special app needed. It takes me a few seconds to size the screen correctly to the board's size but it's entirely playable.

It is a bit slow, but it's a mildly intensive game (by old computers/new phone standards) so it's not unexpected. It helps a little if you turn the settings down. I wouldn't sit and play 10 games in a row like I do on my PC's, and if there was an optimized version for the phone I'd be all over it, but it runs okay as is on my android.

The only time I played elements on my phone (android) was to use the oracle when I had no access to a computer with internet for a few days.  Won a blue nymph on one of those days, too.  For actual gameplay though, it's too slow and awkward.

Sometimes I play Elements with iSwifter on my iPad if I just want to spin the oracle and play a couple of games. It's not terribly slow or akward, but since it's a cloud based browser, you always risk getting a "connection problem" warning and the program will automaticaly leave the EtG webpage, giving you a autoloss. It doesn't happen very often, but it can be annoying when you're about to give that FG the killing blow.

Thanks Zerker - I had wondered about a solution like that (would make waiting around a lot more fun!) and would probably have tried it at some point.

yeah, the screen size is hard, plus, it's hard to select cards/elements int he "deck" section.
