I've played the public 0.9.8 releases of Parachute and Octopus and the haptics seem to be no longer working on 0.9.8 on my Galaxy S7 Edge.

The previous test versions had this working well on both those titles. I've tried pushing the vibration slider from left to right and middle and checked my phone settings to make sure haptics are enabled. I tried to access the older test versions just to make sure but you seem to have removed them (including the older Octopus you provided a link for me in a forum message.)

Curious :( The only change from the test version was increasing the maximum amount of vibration (to accommodate older phones). I did test the new release on a range of Android phones and it worked fine. Maybe it's something still in your browser's cache from the test versions. Have you tried any other games besides Parachute and Octopus from the 0.9.8 release? I assume you are still using the same version of Chrome?

Btw, thanks for the suggestions to fade the pause button and to make the dark background completely black for touchscreen devices. I added those changes to the final release :)

Yes I think I'm using the same Chrome version as previously. I tried clearing my Chrome's cache but still no go. Also tried several of your titles that I hadn't previously tried. Do you have the older test versions available still by any chance, particularly the pre release Octopus version that you previously linked me to in one of your forum comments (file is now not found from that comment)? At least then I can see if its some issue with my phone or not.

I've re-uploaded the pre release build of Octopus here for you to try.

Sorry for the delayed reply and thanks for the older version. Oddly the haptics are still not working on Galaxy S7 Edge even with the older build of Octopus. Did you ever release a prerelease version that didn't have the haptics adjustment slider by any chance or was that always there? The haptics vibrator does work for other functions of the phone.

I cleared all my Chrome cookies/cache etc. Also tried the inbuilt Samsung browser and cleared all the user data, still no go.

App does work fine on wife's Galaxy S10 though, just don't tell her I've been testing out old LCD games on it. ;)

That's really strange :( Good to know it does work on your wife's S10 though... and don't worry, I won't tell her what you've been up to on her phone ;) I do think there was a early test version of the vibrate feature that didn't have the slider but I must not have checked it into source control so I can't rebuild it for you unfortunately. Btw, I did try to tweak the vibrate code a little for Mind Boggler but I assume vibrate is still not working on your phone since I see you did play that game and you would have noticed if it was working.

I only tried mind boggler on PC, will check on phone tomorrow as need to charge it.
