Respectfully, just because you’ve not had issues does not mean others have the same experience as you. I’ve brought this up in the Lemmy community and others have said they have this issue as well. https://lemmy.world/post/16954185
Also, “Worst case you start a new run” is not a great argument against implementing better mobile controls. It’s really disheartening when you’re really enjoying a run and you’ve spent a good amount of time on it all to go completely down the drain because of a small mistake that could be prevented with better controls.
The statement comes from thoroughly reading the issues on the GitHub repo. He has stated his stance on save editing and similar.
He’s also said some things that somewhat apply to the other issues I mentioned, which certainly makes it seem it’s not much of a priority or even make it into the list of things to implement or improve.
Also, I’m not saying a save edit system would “fix” the mobile controls, but it would at least help give an avenue to undo some of the consequences from a simple mis-tap mistake.
