How is StS experience on mobile (android device)?

[Sunbach]

Not sure if it's ok to ask this question on Steam but I figure you all are part of StS community so I may as well.

So I have the game and done 100% achievement on Steam but I havent played it once ever seen cause I always find myself rather playing other games while I'm on PC. But recently I find myself lying in bed and watching streams with my phone a lot. So I was wondering if I should get StS on my android phone and play the game while lying instead.

If anyone has played the game on android mobile, could you share your experience? does it feel the same as playing on PC?

I play it a lot on mobile, it's pretty good, but has a couple issues. Overall the game is the same, no major mobile specific changes, you just click and drag with your finger instead of a mouse. Only feature I can think of that's different is you lose being able to see the upgraded version of a card reward by right clicking it, though if you are already experienced with the game and know most of the upgrades, that doesn't matter much. Obviously there is no modding either.

I have had a couple mobile-specific issues, but some of them seem to have been improved and others have easy workarounds. When it first came out I had issues with cards 'sticking' if I hovered a card then decided I didn't want to use it, it wouldn't go back into my hand, but that got a lot better at some point. It's still easier to misclick or play the wrong card or something than it is on PC, but that's to be expected on a smaller screen with less precise input.

The other biggest issue I had was after I beat a run and skipped the credits, the main menu would say continue and abandon run instead of new run. Continuing would put me back at ineffectually hitting the heart and seeing my score, and both instances of "wins" would be logged in my run history, so I have dozens of fake duplicate runs logged in there. It also took a while to load certain screens like going back to the main menu after a run. Both of these issues were fixed when I permanently disabled the 'google play services' I think it was, that popped up every time I started the game with a name, icon, and level I had apparently been earning somehow. I think its supposed to do cloud saves and has some social features and stuff, but I never used it, so I went into it and said to never activate on STS, and both these issues suddenly went away. It seems it had trouble connecting to or updating this service, though maybe other's experience will differ in that regard.

I play on mobile as well as PC and it's pretty much the same although my phone has a stylus built in that I use for StS as it felt a bit clunky using my fingers. Depending on the size of your phone screen it might not be comfortable as it can be a bit cramped and the writing quite small. But as Nibbie said if you're familiar with the game that's not as much of an issue as you probably won't need to be reading everything in depth.
