Can you play I Can Smell You from Here on mobile?
On Android, yes: the creator published an official Android APK in v1.1.2 (29 September 2026). The official page lists no iOS build. The browser build hosted on this site is an earlier copy and has not been confirmed to accept touch input.
01The creator’s answer
Is there an Android or iPhone version?
Android: yes. The official game page opens on itch.io lists Android next to HTML5, Windows and Linux, with a file named “I Can Smell You from Here.apk” (92 MB). The creator announced it in the v1.1.2 devlog on 29 September 2026:
“if it doesn't work in your browser, please download the .apk. currently only support android devices.”
iPhone and iPad: the official page lists no iOS build, and the creator says only Android devices are supported for now. This site does not host or provide any APK, and we do not offer unofficial APKs, app-store lookalikes or a separate mobile installer; take the file only from the official page.
Before v1.1.2 the creator was answering players that the port was not out (replies read on 28 September 2026). They are kept below for the record; v1.1.2 superseded them:
“mobile port is not out yet. will work on it soon, stay tuned”
“away from my PC this weekend rn, but I'll make sure to do it next week.”
02Loading is not the same as playing
Why can the browser game open but not accept an answer?
The documented control scheme uses keyboard and mouse input: arrows or the scroll wheel select a choice, and holding ENTER, SPACE or the left mouse button confirms it. Touch input is not part of that official control list. A player’s report that answers cannot be selected on mobile opens on itch.io came before the Android APK.
The browser build hosted on this site was copied from itch.io before v1.1.2, so it is not the Android build and may lack later changes. We have not confirmed that it accepts touch input; the creator’s own advice in v1.1.2 is to download the .apk if the game does not work in your browser. The first load also includes about 83.1 MB of engine and game data, and downloading those files does not establish that a phone can complete a run.
For desktop loading problems, use the controls and troubleshooting guide.
