Installing and updates
Verticopolis runs in your web browser, and there’s nothing to download. If you’d like it to feel more like an app, you can install it.
Installing
Section titled “Installing”Tap Install on the opening screen. Once installed, Verticopolis opens from your home screen or desktop in its own window, fullscreen, with no browser bar, and it plays offline.
- On an iPhone or iPad, Safari has no install button of its own. Tap the Share button (the square with an arrow pointing up), then Add to Home Screen.
- In other browsers, look for Install or Add to Home screen, usually in the browser’s main menu or at the end of the address bar. Not every browser offers it. If you don’t see it, play for a moment and look again.
An installed game keeps its saves in the same place as the browser version on that device, so your towers are there either way.
Playing offline
Section titled “Playing offline”Once you’ve played online once, the whole game is stored on your device, the engine included, so it starts and runs with no connection at all. The help pages and the release notes need a connection.
Updates
Section titled “Updates”When a new version is ready, the game tells you with Update available and a summary of what’s new. Update now saves your tower and reloads onto the new version, so you don’t lose any progress. Later keeps you on the version you’re playing, and the update applies the next time you open the game.
Every update’s changes are in the release notes.
