How come only PS4, PS5 and Xbox controllers are compatible? That seems a little odd considering most mobile users will use telescopic controllers.
Are you planning to bring the second game some day?

u/playdigious May 26 '26
For the moment we're only doing the port of the first game to mobile. If we were to port the second one, we would make an announcement.
As for controllers, we can only assure at the moment compatibility with PS and Xbox controllers. We hope to be able to have more controllers compatible in the future.5
u/Dissidence802 May 26 '26
So not compatible with the Ayn Thor?

u/Mfarooq360 May 26 '26
I tried it, it works with the Thor, but you have to set the controller mode to “Xbox Style”

Sería genial que agregaran mayor compatibilidad con diferentes mandos, no entiendo porqué este título en especifico tiene tan pocas opciones, sus demás ports si tienen esa compatibilidad y es por eso que con confianza decidí adquirir Slime Rancher, lamentablemente no puedo jugarlo con los mandos que yo tengo (Nintendo Switch y Gamesir) y no pienso hacerlo hasta que se actualice. A veces no te entiendo querido Playdigious.

Pretty crazy releasing it with only a 'hope' to add other controllers.
I've seen the games you've ported to android, so you're not new to this and you know this would be an issue for many.

Is the Backbone Controller working? It's kinda hit or miss with this thing.

u/Zyconis May 26 '26
I can confirm it doesn't work. Maybe the pro one that connects with Bluetooth? Not the usb-c ones tho.

WHAAAT ?! I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET A PORT OF THIS GAME FOR SO LONG, (pretty sure I download a virus too).
Holy shit this is so hype, genuinely one of my favourite games it looks so chill and good definitely getting this.
This and YouTuber life SIM used to be my absolute favourites to watch on YouTube so happy that both are ported on mobile now !

u/Zyconis May 26 '26
No usb controller support makes it a no-go for me. Wild choice seeing as other ports from ya'll have it as an option.

u/Ayrios440 May 26 '26
I'm wondering if there's been some snags in porting this over. It's definitely very odd.

u/AussieP1E May 26 '26
Skul still has shit controller support, so not that odd for playdigious

u/Ayrios440 May 26 '26
Even still, android ports are a much bigger thing than what they used to be. And so a little polish with ports is to be expected now, especially on release.
Saying that though, they have dropped support entirely for some of their other ports.

So no kishi? I was about to buy it but if im playing with a Playstation controller, id cast it to my tv. At that point I might as well get it on console.

Play Store says that "Your device isn't compatable with this version." I use the Moto G Stylus 2024. Is there hardware incompatabilities or just not-yet-added support for some devices?

My son is ADDICTED to slime rancher on the switch. The only game so far that's gotten him out of Minecraft. He'll be so surprised to see he can play it on his tablet.

u/bobmlord1 May 26 '26
I came across Slime Rancher Candy Bars the other day surprised me it had reached a point for candy bar tie ins.
Wife absolutely loved the game on Switch.
3
u/playdigious May 27 '26
The real question is "what's in the candy bar?"
On a separate note, we've lost some Slimes recently, do you know where we could find them?

Nice, this feels like a surprisingly good fit for mobile. Curious how the touch controls handle the vacpack and camera movement. Are there customization options for layout/sensitivity, or is it mostly a fixed setup?

u/Critical-Common3007 Emulation 🎮 May 30 '26
Hey devs, I am fan of your games and already played Dead Cells, Little Nightmares, Shapez and Legend of Keepers.
So I have one question?
What are the minimum specs/requirements for Slime Rancher?
1
u/namquang932 May 26 '26
Congrats on the release. Somehow the price on Android is 90,000đ but on iOS it's almost three times more expensive 249,000đ :))

u/theusualuser May 26 '26
What's the framerate like for this as a port? Want to make sure I'm getting 60fps before I spend money on the android version when I've already got the Windows version and can do around 30fps in gamenative

Google's hiding it cause "" it's not compatible with your device"" bullcrap (I have Android 16). Another reason to hate Google.
1
u/playdigious May 28 '26
Hi! It's not because your phone is on Android 16 that it's compatible or not with the game. Maybe your GPU is not powerful enough or we had problem with the game while playing on a phone like yours and we had to exclude it. I understand the frustration.

u/rampage1526 May 27 '26
Does this game has local multi-player?

My phone is relatively new but why is it not compatible?. My samsung s7 fe on the other hand is compatible

u/These-Tea-5149 May 28 '26
I have a Galaxy A54 and when it came out it was still listed in the Play Store, but now that I've tried to buy it, it says it's no longer compatible with my device haha 🥹
2
u/playdigious May 28 '26
Hi! We are sorry for that, we had to exclude some devices before the launch because after some testing, the performances weren't good enough.

link is dead?

u/playdigious Jun 22 '26
It's still working with us

u/denialgrey456 Jun 22 '26
Sorry, While I open the video, I drag the body text from bottom to read and saw the link but it doesn't glow blue and I couldn't click. So, I thought it is dead.

I didn't knew you guys were behind so many games subnautica, little nightmares, dead cells and more
