How to play Bunicorn game on a smartphone device

 

That we expected this game can play on mobile device such as Crypto blade, Axie infinity, Plant vs undead...

Until now,  the dev team have no support yet. (year 2022 in road map).

I tried several way to play the game on mobile but their seem unable.

Meta mask wallet app (Android/iOS)

The desktop site can not display completely on MetaMask built-in browser

That is failed. So, this way can not use.

I thought, why we don't change to other browser that support desktop mode ?
The answer for the mobile browser that support desktop mode with MetaMask extension like Chrome  is Kiwi browser (on android)

Let try with Kiwi browser to play Bunicorn game.

Kiwi browser (android)

As you see, in the desktop mode of Kiwi browser the game still not display completely.

We are close to target (play game on mobile). But the problem is the display resolution of smart phone too small, that make the web game seem cut off the right part. (you can google for DPI definition)

But, don't give up, we will find the way to fix this.
I found some way:

1. Use android tablet with bigger display resolution. (not yet try bcoz i don't own a android tablet)

2. Change DPI of your phone (rooted), but this way make phone more vulnerable.

3. Use virtual OS to simulate PC browser resolution.

For the 1st and 2nd way, I not test bcoz I don't own a android tablet and also rooting android is potential security risk

So, I choose the third way.

Let go, 

Firstly: Install VMOS from Play Store | VMOS Pro

VMOS allow us to run a virtual android machine inside android like VMware, VirtualBox on PC

After install VMOS and booting up the VMOS you will see as below:

VMOS run android 7.1, it still enough for us

Next step: 

We turn on Google services in "VM Setting" to get Play Store, and then from Play Store we install 2 application are Kiwi browser and Nova launcher. (good new they are free)

After turn on Google services, you need to restart the VMOS.

Well, we done a half.

Let do some configuration for Kiwi browser and Nova launcher.

For Kiwi browser: Install MetaMask extension.

Select Extensions

Select "from store", it will lead you to Chrome webstore

Select MetaMask then install it to Kiwi.

After install MetaMask was installed successfully, you can import (existing)/create(new) wallet.

MetaMask work on Kiwi

In MetaMask Settings => Networks => Add Binance Smartchain to custom network

Go to the Bunicorn.game and connect your wallet.

Choose Connect To A Wallet

After connect wallet to the game, let see what we done.

The game interface see look like no change ... Don't worry, we will solve this mess by setting the DPI.

For Nova launcher:

Make sure you choose Nova launcher as default.

Go to Nova launcher setting => Look & feel => Screen orientation => Force Landscape

(This action to make our VMOS always work in landscape mode)

Well, we are very close to target.

Let change the VMOS DPI

Go to VM Setting => Resolution => Add resolution

You should set new resolution value of Wide, High same with current resolution (the value difference depending mobile phone model)

In this article I use Samsung galaxy S20 Ultra

The DPI should be set to 240 (recommend) or less than. (The display text will be scaled very small when you decrease DPI)

OK, Save it and Restart your VMOS.

Now, see your result in the game.

Amazing resolution, the game completely display

Because we use Kiwi browser, so the MetaMask work a bit difference with the Chrome PC version, it will not show the confirmation popup when doing a transaction,  OK don't worry. I'll tell you now.

When you fight enemy, attention to the three dot menu at the right corner of Kiwi

You'll see MetaMask has a small number beside it icon. Click to MetaMask it will lead you go to the confirmation screen.

Just confirm for the battle begin.

... and finally see your victory.

In this article, I share you how can I play the bunicorn game on my mobile device. If you have a better idea please leave a comment.

Thanks !
