Screen Rotation

Spark allows you to control screen orientation both globally and per-game.

SettingiPad Screen Rotation
DefaultLandscape (1)
Options1: Landscape, 2: Portrait, 3: All
SettingiPhone Screen Rotation
DefaultLandscape Left (2)
Options1: All, 2: Left, 3: Right, 4: Portrait

Each game can override the global rotation setting:

  1. Open Game Settings for the game
  2. Find Screen Rotation
  3. Select from: Global (uses the above defaults), Landscape, Portrait, All, etc.

Setting a game to Global means it follows whatever the global rotation setting is.

Some Ren’Py games specify a preferred orientation. When a game requests a specific rotation, Spark can honor that request and override your settings. The game’s rotation preference is saved to the game’s configuration.

  • Most visual novels are designed for landscape orientation
  • Portrait mode can be useful for reading-heavy games on iPhone
  • If a game looks stretched or cropped, try changing the rotation setting
