My game does not work with the Razer Junglecat, what can I do?

The Razer Junglecat supports standard Android controllers. If the game developer did not provide standard controller support in the game, the Razer Junglecat cannot be used. You may wish to contact the developer of the game and ask them to support standard Android controllers.

Software

What is the Octopus plugin and why do I need it?

The Octopus plugin maps screen input to the Junglecat controller. This allows games that have not otherwise enabled controller support to be used with Junglecat. Razer recommends reviewing the game title terms of service to ensure screen mapping is allowed.

Why does the Octopus plugin require various Android permissions?

These are required in order to install/run games in a virtual environment (which enables screen mapping). Broad permissions are requested for Google Play Services to support the variety of potential games that may be played. No user data is collected or shared by Octopus or Razer through use of the Octopus plugin.
