Game Mechanics Touch controls: whips, dash, and fast hotbar buttons.

This is a compilation of some suggestions that my followers have proposed to improve touch controls in addition to those that will come in the next update.

1. Change whips on par with PC.

On PC we have a whip change mechanic, where when you hold to attack you can change whips with the keyboard buttons, and thus change whips without having to release the click. However, when trying to do it on mobiles you must stop attacking to make the switch, making it more difficult to take advantage of the bonus accumulation of whips.


2. Fast hotbar bottons.

In addition to the previous point, the idea arose to have dedicated buttons for items in the hotbar, to speed up the process of tapping the item on the bar and then using it, for example, so as not to interrupt the movement of the character that is usually played with the joystick on the left. Also useful for those who have the hotbar at the top of the screen instead of next to it.

This would be useful with radial bottons and for those who play with whips, having a single button for 4 different items to choose.

You could also consider buttons to switch from item to the previous or next, similar to the mouse wheel.

3. Dash botton

Not all players are comfortable dashing by double-tapping the joystick, so it would be a good thing to have a dedicated button for it. The dash symbol can change depending on the accessory or the solar armor bonus.

I attach an edited image with the general idea of the use of these suggestions.

I agree with the dash and whip idea. i think there would be just too many buttons if there were pc number keys added.
