Controls issue

How can I shoot bullets in Android and control are not visible there is no option for switching controls from tap somebody plz help me 🗣️🙏🏻

OK, so I have had this issue. While in game, (not options menu) There is a small arrow at the bottom of the screen that toggles various Android control schemes. Depending on your screen or how curved it is, the toggle-arrow may not be visible😑.

But even so, my honest opinion is that the controls in general suck when playing on Android😮‍💨. I have had the most issues when doing the stages that requires precision and timing😵. And the boss battles are more of a struggle then they need to be😣. Unfortunately this is not an easy fix since good controls on Android is far and few😓. 

Well I connect a keyboard with my android device To enjoy the game at fullest 

That will do the trick😊. But is not a solution for the vast majority of coneciers of culture🍷on Android. 

The developer mentioned that he would like this to be more action focused project🤔. And that poses a problem with how the players interact with the game😣. To be frank, the interface for the Android version of ZR2 needs a redesign. And the boss battle stages would also benefit from having an Android-specific layout that does not punish the player for the inaccuracy of touch controls.

A semi active time battle system, like what we see in the old SNES game Chrono Trigger might be a place to start at. Instead of taking turn attacking, the battle timer is constantly running. Meaning you have to act or lose your turn, bringing a sense of urgency. This is while still taking a turns but the pacing is still faster.

This is all Wishful thinking on my part😓. The work that would take is considerable ⚒️. 

While the controls are my suffering and my pain. The content, environments and characters are still good and imersive👌. Well worth the finger mutilations required to play on Android🏆.

I hope the developer reads this and takes it as Constructive Criticism📊, not as an assault on their honor⚖️. 

Yes you are right developer must fix the problems for Android
