Monkey Island

How to play on your phone

Tap the screen to walk and interact. Pick a verb (Open, Look at, Talk to…) then tap the thing.
Double-tap a thing to do its default action right away — pick up the mug, open the door. (Press-and-hold does the same.)
Flick the screen to walk off that way — left, right, up or down. In cursor mode, flick with two fingers (one finger steers the cursor).
During conversations, tap to advance a line, or tap a response to reply.
⏭ Skip — skips the current cutscene (the intro, and scene intros). Same as Esc on a PC.
⏩ Fast-forward — tap to run at speed through long cutscenes or chatter; tap again to return to normal. The setting sticks between sessions.
🖱 Cursor mode — toggles trackpad-style control: drag anywhere to glide the cursor (it stays visible instead of hiding under your finger), tap to click where the cursor is, long-press for the default action. Tap it again to go back to direct touch. Taps on the verb/inventory strip always click right where you tap — the cursor stays aimed at the scene.
✨ Discovery — softly glows everything you can interact with in the room: gold circles for things, blue for people. The glow follows the scene as it scrolls; tap the button again to turn it off. The circles are tap targets: pick a verb, tap a circle, and the action lands on that thing — no cursor steering needed (long-press a circle for its default action).
💾 Save / Load — opens the game's own Save / Load / Play / Quit screen.
⧉ Mini player — pops the picture out into a floating window (like YouTube), so a cutscene or conversation keeps playing while you use other apps. Watch-only: tap the window's button to return here and play on. iOS only allows this in Safari, not in the installed app — there, sound alone keeps playing in the background.
⌨ Keyboard — pops up the on-screen keyboard, for typing a savegame name.
⚙ Settings — music, speech, subtitles and text speed, changeable while you play.
📌 Pin — keeps these buttons always visible instead of fading away.
⌂ Home — saves and returns to this title screen (Continue picks up right where you left off).
Unless pinned, the controls fade away while you play — tap the screen to bring them back.
New Game never erases anything — your current playthrough is backed up automatically and stays under Load Game (named after the room you were in, with its last-played time), like a game history.

Tip: turn the phone sideways for a bigger picture. Your progress and saves are kept on this device.
