The mobile version of the game has a number of different control options, all unique to mobile. These include tap to move using the device touchscreen and an on-screen joystick.

Control styles can be selected by opening the menu and choosing the Options tab Optionstab.png

Inside the options menu is a dropdown which allows selection of each of the following control schemes.

Tap-to-move & Auto-Attack

This is the default control setting.

  • Tap-to-move - Tap anywhere on screen and the farmer will walk to where you tapped. Tap on items to action them. Tapping on stones, wood, stumps, boulders, rocks etc will auto-select the correct tool for the job.
  • Auto-attack - when in The Mines if a weapon is selected (e.g. sword, dagger, club) then it will automatically face and attack any enemies that come within range. You can tap elsewhere to walk away, however you cannot move while the weapon is in mid-swing.

Note that some elements of the game that require careful positioning (e.g., solving some Secret Notes) can not be completed using the default controls; temporarily switching to a control style with a movement joystick is necessary in such cases.

Tap-to-move & Attack Joystick

The attack joystick enabled.
Uses tap-to-move for movement control.

When a weapon is selected a joystick appears bottom right. Drag the joystick up/down/left/right to face that direction and swing the weapon.

  • Bait and tackle can be attached to a fishing rod by dragging them onto the rod in inventory. Bait and tackle can be switched by dragging a different item onto the fishing rod, but there is no way to remove them.
  • There is no way to direct the cast while fishing; the bobber always lands in a straight line in front of the character.
