• New Improved Touch Controls! - 6 August 2018

  https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F30056096%2F7ff0abf6923d4792a46315a2650deb5f2bc15bf3.png If you've tried the tablet or mobile versions in the past and found the touch controls awkward, I apologise. After much thought and fiddling, I have redesigned the various touch controls which makes the game much more fun to play on mobile devices now. Choose from 4 different methods: tilt, buttons, touch, or swipe. Give it a go and fall in love with the game on a whole new level.
