Android’s already had some app tinkering floating around from people, but this is the first iOS app I’ve seen that uses Ruffle!

Check it out (iOS and Android), it’s basically a Flash game site but for your phone, complete with bindable touchscreen controller.

It’s got some quirks like some of the SWFs that are used having distorted audio or vector graphics, forcing that landscape resolution on every game, and the “controller” system not working for the Impossible Quiz games, which are on there and aren't intuitively playable with the way they use the keyboard.

The control scheme works surprisingly well for most Flash games though, you’ve got your mouse, game controls and text field input all there. The Binding of Isaac Demo’s defaults utilize the mouse-based tear controls nicely. The app does suffer from classic touchscreen joystick jank, though.

I do wonder how long this app’ll last, I guess from an App Store perspective the games are curated by the app author, so it could be fine…? (But then there’s stuff out there like Roblox, so idk)

And while it made more sense to discourage it back in the day, it is still a game portal…with ads. Not to mention the upkeep needed of an app nowadays.

I dunno! It’s just cool that something like this was done.
