Sky Star War in the browser: the complete guide

This guide teaches you to play Sky Star War in a web browser, on a computer, an iPhone, an iPad or any phone, without anybody's help. Nothing has to be installed. The browser version shows the game on the screen with a map you look at; it is made for sighted players. If you are blind, play the Android app or the Windows game: they speak everything and have the full sound of the game.

1. Open the game

• Open the Sky Star War page of hosting-ttserver.com.tr and press the button "Play in your browser".
• On a phone you can add it to the home screen (in the share or browser menu, "Add to Home screen"). It then opens like an app.
• Keep the page open while you play. On an iPhone the game can stop when the screen locks; open it again and log in.

2. Create your account and log in

• New player: press "I need a new account". Choose a player name and a password, type your email and choose your gender, then press "Create account". Write the password down; the email is needed if you forget it.

• Forgot your password: on the Sky Star War page of the website choose the password reset, type your name and email, and enter the code that comes by email.
• The first time, tap anywhere on the page once after logging in: the browser then lets the game play sounds.
