This is the default setting for devices without legitimate multi-touch capability.

The up arrow area enables movement, shooting, and jumping when applicable. The top area activates superzap. The central area remains stationary, with movement speed increasing towards the arrow edges.

Multi-touch arrows:

Suitable for devices with multi-touch capacity. The left side mirrors the single-touch arrows for movement, while the right side buttons manage shooting, jumping, and superzap functions. This control scheme integrates seamlessly with the touch-emulated Sixaxis controller.

Multi-touch circular:
