Controls

DragonVale uses Multi-touch user interface technology. The player controls the game with one or more fingers or a stylus that is made specifically for touch screens. A single finger or stylus is used to collect earnings from habitats, harvest treat farms and select tool icons on the screen. Two fingers are required for the zoom control.

Zoom Control

Start with two fingers, usually the first finger and thumb, placed together on the screen. Slide them apart to increase the zoom level. Pinch the fingers back together to decrease the zoom level.

Habitat and Dragon Controls

Habitat earnings can be collected with a single touch on the treasure chest bubble that appears when the habitat is filled to approximately 33% or more of its earning capacity. The tools to control the Habitat and its dragons appear at the bottom of the screen when the Habitat is touched after collecting its earnings.

Options, Friends and Market Controls

The Options, Friends and Market icons are visible only when no other item is highlighted on the screen. If you are having trouble finding these tools, touch an area of the background that resembles a cloudy blue sky. These controls will then appear in the bottom right hand side of the screen.

The Options tool allows the player to change settings for the Sound, Effects and Notifications.

The Friends tool allows the player to visit their friends’ parks, send them gifts and invite friends via Facebook, Email and Text Message.

The Market is where items can be purchased.
