Have you ever thought of making the Big Farm available on IPad? I think this would be awesome...The farm games they have on there are so lame...I have even quit the farm games on Facebook for the Big Farm!!!
At one time Nafaru did say they were working on an app but has since said it is on hold. But even if they did develop it, it would have to count as a different server. This means you couldn't access your current farm with it but would have to start a new one from level 1, so wouldn't fit your needs anyway

You can still play your current Big Farm on an iPhone or iPad though. You need to install a browser that has flash support built in

iSwifter seems to be the favourite for iPad and iPhone but there are others too including an iOS version of Puffin

What are the minimum hardware requirements needed to run this game on a tablet.
Is anyone having any luck running this game on a tablet?
I realize it needs Adobe flash player

I'm on level 75. Not a newbie.

Hi, DeeMac,

Moderators moved your post into this thread. All you have to do now is to read one post before yours :).

Why isn't it possible to use Bigfarm on my mobile devices? I don't have a laptop/desktop every day.

Does anyone here have any recommendations for a mini laptop or netbook that will play this game?
I am going on holiday soon and my old travel laptop is on its last legs.
Any input would be appreciated I only need one that will enable me to play bigfarm it doesn't have to be flashy or do anything else

Hi,

Any windows based laptop / netbook will run this, the trouble is with android or IOS and flash - All Macs or Windows based systems should be fine as they are able to have flash installed :)

Guys, I've just installed Photon Browser on my Android tablet and then accessed bigfarm.goodgamestudios.com and it redirects me to empirefourkingdoms.goodgamestudios.com/bigfarmmobile and tells me that Big Farm can only be played on a PC - and recommends me to play Empire: Four Kingdoms....

Have I missed a way of playing on my tablet?

Drew- check Samty's post # 161 for the browsers that will work on your tablet.

Have you told Photon to use the flash player. If I remember correctly the icon is a lightening bolt (flash)
Photon will work, but I find Puffin much better. Both have free or ad free paid for versions so you can try them both

The message you have received is for if the built into Photon flash player is not enabled

I had a new mobile.... not just have used it yet, old one is still working...
New one is Nokia Lumia and windows based. So i puffin or photon will work???:?:
If i try someday, when i have time. It would be great to play bigfarm with mobile...;)

[823423] rhon (GB1) [GB1] :: Jan. 4, 2015, 8:21 p.m.
Puffin or Photon should both work. Scrolling is a little difficult and I wouldn't like to play full time on a tablet, or the very tiny screen of a phone. But it is good enough for me to help in co-op projects to harvest apples or cows when the need arises

I was just talking about this very subject today I agree.

Will this game ever be available in an app version?

I don't always time to turn on my computer and wait for everything to load if I want to just quickly harvest and replant before going to work an app version that I could play on my phone or ipad would definitely make me play the game more.

[825213] kbahr007 (US1) [US1] :: Jan. 18, 2015, 9:53 p.m.
go to play.google.com then download puffin, you can play it on your iphone or any android device, it is not a great version but it works

[833166] Jan Rokkjær [None] :: March 13, 2015, 8:03 p.m.
Have to ask the bigfarm developers to make it possible because when going to there mobile optimized site you will get a notice that the game can only be played on PC i just maid an app from ibuildapp so therefor i now.

hi all, just wondering, can we play bigfarm on android tablets?
or do we need to download an application to play?

or does this only work on actual PCs only?

thanks all

[838278] Mina0o (INT1) [None] :: April 15, 2015, 6:41 a.m.
It's a browser based game, ritacba12. it means that you can play the game on any device that can browse the internet. No apps and no downloads.

[838282] vashappenin [None] :: April 15, 2015, 6:54 a.m.
Even i agree with u guys

hello! well the application you need is a flash-enabled browser on your android tablet. This is because bigfarm is a flash-based game. Currently, there're 2 apps in the play store that can do that: puffin browser and photon browser. However they're really a pain to use.

That's not exactly correct. Android has removed support for flash, so you cannot play bigfarm, which is a flash-based game. Android and most webpages are transiting to html5 instead.

I have raised the question as to whether the devs have considered coding the game in html5 (i know it's a mammoth task) but received no response regarding this. Could any mods clarify?

thank you.

thanks september. i did go to the website and then it tells me i have to play on a pc or play one of the other GGS games. i thought it was just my device. thanks again.
