Phones and tablets ​

MMO Run has an iPhone and Android client that joins the same worlds as the desktop one. Your progress lives on the world's server, so the same account and character work on both.

Get the app ​

Download it from the links on mmo.run. Open it, type the server address or the invite code your host gave you, and log in.

Two ways to hold it ​

Sideways gives you the full view. Tap the ground to walk, tap someone to talk or attack, and hold your finger on something to cast at it. Target, Attack and Cast sit on the right edge; Chat and Menu are in the bottom-left corner. Panels are slim and see-through so most of the screen is the world.

Upright turns your phone into a handheld: the world on top, and a control deck below it.

ControlWhat it does
Stick (left)Walk in any of eight directions
AStart or stop attacking your target
BCast the ability marked RMB on your hotbar
TargetPick the next enemy
ChatOpen the chat line
MenuCharacter select and disconnect

Your hotbar and chat move into the deck's top row. Tap a hotbar slot to cast it; tapping still works on the world too. Turn the phone and the layout follows.

Playing away from home ​

On mobile data you need a server the internet can reach. Invite codes take care of that: if the host's router blocks the way in, your phone connects through the MMO Run relay without you doing anything. See Invites.

If the app goes to the background, it reconnects and logs you back in when you return.
