Screen lock & sleep (phone)

The game's lock screen stops accidental touches (in a pocket, on a table) and lets the phone save battery. The game keeps running underneath and your hero stays in the game. It works on Android, only while you are in the game world.

How it turns on

• By itself — after 3 minutes without touching the screen. The game also dims its own picture; your phone's brightness setting is not changed.
• By hand — tap the small padlock button in the top left corner.

The lock screen shows a big clock, the date in your game language and the battery level.

How to unlock

1. Put your finger on the padlock in the middle.
2. Slide it left or right until it reaches the outer ring (the ring lights up).
3. That's it — the game is unlocked.

If you let go too early, the padlock goes back. Any other touch does nothing — that is on purpose.

Sleep

• After 2 minutes locked, the game stops keeping the screen on, and the phone turns the screen off with its own timer. Your connection stays — see Connection lost & auto-reconnect.
• Exception: while MU Helper is hunting, the screen does not go off (it only stays dark). With the screen off the game would pause and your hero would stand still among the monsters.
• If the screen went off and you then unlock the phone itself, the game lock is gone too — you unlock only once.
• Only a touch on the padlock counts as activity; touches in a pocket do not keep the screen awake.

Tips

• Long MU Helper hunts keep the screen on — plug in the charger.
• A lower graphics quality in Options also saves battery.
• Samsung and some other phones add their own game tools (for example a touch lock in the navigation bar). Those belong to the phone, not to the game.
