Screen Rotation
Spark allows you to control screen orientation both globally and per-game.
iPad Rotation
Section titled “iPad Rotation”| Setting | iPad Screen Rotation |
| Default | Landscape (1) |
| Options | 1: Landscape, 2: Portrait, 3: All |
iPhone Rotation
Section titled “iPhone Rotation”| Setting | iPhone Screen Rotation |
| Default | Landscape Left (2) |
| Options | 1: All, 2: Left, 3: Right, 4: Portrait |
Per-Game Rotation
Section titled “Per-Game Rotation”Each game can override the global rotation setting:
- Open Game Settings for the game
- Find Screen Rotation
- 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.
Game-Requested Rotation
Section titled “Game-Requested Rotation”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
