Prevent most misclicks #64

Closed Cwpute closed 9 months ago

Cwpute commented 11 months ago

I've just finished the full game while collecting all the coins. Fun times :) But i had many, many misclicks that cost me several level restarts. Granted, i use the bigger interface option, which means attackers are larger.

  1. Chip menues overlap with each other. Easy fix: only alow for a single chip menue to be open at a time.
  2. Chip menu buttons are not prioritized, or their click area isn't big enough, which sometimes results in me clicking on attackers below instead, reversing their value, making them almost invincible. Several possible fixes: make the chip menu button's click area larger, or put them in a area that prevents accidental clicks below, or make the chup menu a side panel that doesn't come from the chip but rather extends from the side of the screen.
  3. Attackers swarming over a chip placement tilemight prevent from putting a chip in place. Same story goes sometimes for upgrading chips. Possible fix: tap OR long press over a chip placement tile to interact with it.

Alternatively, i could work with these issues if we could freely zoom in and out over the game space. That would allow me to zoom in on free space between attackers to click a tile etc…

There have been some changes on click priorization in version 1.27, perhaps you can try again once it's pubished.

I agree that zooming in and out would be nice, but this is really a lot of work to implement.

I'm closing this, hopefully it's better now.
