Thanks for playing! My initial version was just left-clicking on all plots, and I was so tired of debugging by clicking one by one that I had to add that swipe control.
Haha.... honestly yeah, when I doubled the screen up I sorta sighed cause I was tired of clicking hahah then I realized I could swipe and it made it so much more fun.
I feel like there is some type of mechanic you could use with that too later on, I'm not sure what it could be, but this is a really cool game, one of the better ones in the jam :)
