Kaboom audio sounds definitely play on mobile (very well too!), check out this example: https://replit.com/@jwsy/avocado-remix - hosted at https://avocado-remix.jwsy.repl.co/

The way I get this to work is to play a howler sound first that ??? which causes all the other sounds to play. I imagine this has something to do with how mobile browsers require a click event to play and perhaps Kaboom isn't registering the touch events as click events.

L17 - creates the Howl obj
L337 - plays the sound in the "main" start scene - but this doesn't work if replace this line with a kaboom play sound callconst o = play("o"...)

Interesting, sounds like howler helped kaboom to properly initiate some audio context required to play audio on mobile. I'll take a closer look tomorrow.
