Touchscreen native, controller tested, battery efficient, cross-platform, offline enabled, 2.5/3D VTT Yup, you heard me.  Move a token on your phone, see it move on your GM's laptop. Roll a handful of dice on your iPad, see its results on your Steam Deck. Platform: Native software: Native compiled code allows for optimizations that web based VTTs can only dream of. Touchscreen first development: Phroller was built for modern touch controls first. Use two fingers to resize/rotate images and control the camera. Better mouse, keyboard and controller support always in the works! No account required: Quick Zoom/Jackbox styled session hosting and joining. All shared assets are shared between the users directly. Offline prep: Phroller lives on your device. Images and Models saved to your collection are put into your own device storage and can be used without an internet connection! Battery life without compromise: I spent weeks optimizing for battery life to make sure the platform stops overheating even through my longest DnD sessions. Gameplay: Collaborative GM-ing: Every user in a shared session could be given permissions to controls usually reserved for the GM. Ask your players to help draw a basic map, put decals on the board or even randomly place/control enemy tokens while you finalize stat blocks. You can do it at a real table, why not on a VTT? You can even share a revocable passcode with your players to give them full GM privileges! Delightful Physics: More than just delightful dice rolling, you can throw your tokens across the map too! Multi-level maps: easy to adjust level system lets you visualize and manage complex scenes featuring multiple elevations. With 3 different visualization modes depending on your needs [Side by side comparison of the three views] Customize!
