2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

This game was balls hard to begin with. Playing it with touch screen is going to be an absolutely terrible time.

You can connect a Bluetooth capable controller to android and iPhone. I dunno how many people will, but you definitely can.

Does anyone emulate oldschool action games without a physical controller? Castlevania was and is hard enough game with a controller on the original console without input delay. The PlayStore page says no data is collected. That's nice to hear, but are there any ads included? And can this change over updates?

Note: I'm not shitting on the game or getting it for free, my question is more of a general nature. It's nice the manual is integrated too. And anyone can just start playing without worrying about emulators and Roms. I don't even play on Android, so these are just questions and observations out of curiosity.
