Ouch! No android version
I will never understand the absurd and unreasonable demand by mobile players that every single game should be ported to smartphones. Have these people never even once considered just how useless of an effort that would be when it comes to the control schemes alone? Yes, a visual novel could very well work on a phone, but those typically only need single-button controls anyway. But a platforming game that often requires precision as well as speed simply cannot be ported to a phone. It just can't be done!

I really wish mobile players would stop with this incessant demand that everything should be stripped of every single ounce of complexity to the point that it could be playable on something so gaming-unfriendly as a smartphone... :FacePalm:

I wouldn't say that. Smartphones are becoming more and more capable and so is the emulation community. They probably want to download an APK version or an emulator that can run CoT for while they are on the go.

You would be extremely hard-pressed to find any PC or console game that would run at all well with a single-button control scheme. So no, the idea that smartphones are the least bit gaming-friendly compared to computers or consoles is just patently false.

try to have a PC?
defeated and annoyed "I just wanna play it on my phone...!"
I too have seen many people ask for mobile versions of games in the 3 forums I follow.
While I do wonder about it, just in general tho, I think I may have an idea why.
Maybe they are unable to own anything other then a phone whether it is money, space issue, preference, etc.? :unsure:

Now that you mention it I did see some mobile gaming devices pop up in the same spirit as gaming computers.

I wish the dev let people watch the ending in the gallery. Thanks for making the video. Do you remember the conversation she had with Coco? That was the part I'm really interested in. I saw someone else upload the ending, but it was in Japanese so I didn't understand it.

Well, I updated the vid and the link, no big deal - just had to beat this shit all over again:

To then later find, that you can just press X when choosing the stage and when picked the Tower Top, and choose the end location. Sthraight from the get go. Without fighting anything.

Though as i said, I fucked up big time previously, since after pressing ctrl during cutscene it didn't teleport me to the waiting room (which I know now the game is supposed to do), but instead back before the final fight, so I guess I still had to finish it the proper way. At least I'll tell myself that to keep my marbles*

Gaming phones are a thing you know. Also, there are already emulators that use touch screen controls for the control pad. Not only that but there are Bluetooth game controls for cell phones such as the Razor Kishi V2:

Well said on all counts. You raise a good point about not being able to afford a computer. I would also add that it might be a convenience issue since not everyone can carry a computer around with them wherever they go.

Honestly forgot to add that part; as well as space issue if they are really pathetic. (not my choice of words)
