Have played this for a while and this game is a 5-star game besides the phone UI system. The gameplay is good. The art style is awesome. The issue at this time is the touchscreen. When I press an item I want to look at its recipes without the item flying across screen or when you cannot see your backpack if you purchase an item from the shop. It would be nice to make the captions of what the item does and the recipe to not block. Overall will be playing more and look forward to updates.

Love the pc version. Mobile version is truly a godsend, but it's a straightforward port and is not optimized for phones. Texts are small very hard to read. Items are small hard to pick correctly without messing up the bags. Controls are clanky my fat finger can't handle it well. UI/UX needs improvement. Still a great fun game that can be play offline. Recommended.

Game is 5/5, just like the steam version, but touch commands are buggy...

I bought and played the game on PC and I liked it very much and wanted to play it on my phone using s pen stylus but the game doesn't support controls to rotate items using just the stylus (the game expects 2 finger input, could be supported by dragging item to rotation icon) I wanted a refound, but it was denied which is sad because i won't be playing it without proper stylus support.

It's not exactly what I would call a mobile version. It's the PC version but playable on your phone. That means the controls are weird, the buttons are very small, it's hard to navigate everything, especially when I try to reorganize my backpack or check what an item does. It won't show me unless I grab it, release it and grab it again, but even then sometimes it doesn't work.

The controls on this game are frustrating. I go to move one item, and I pick up the backpack and toss all items in storage.

Mid-effort port with annoying UI flaws. Playing on an S25 Ultra. Cursor loses track of where your finger is frequently making backpack optimization way more difficult and tedious than it needs to be. You'll accidentally sell items when your finger is on the complete other side of the screen and there's no way I can see to reverse a sale, so get used to UI bugs ending your runs. As far as I can see there's no way to move your entire board like in the PC version. Very tedious optimization.
