Looks good but the mouse operation seems wonky...

This is a good point, Amiga games in their original state do not translate well to touch screens :(

If the game concept is good it is better rewritten to take advantage of the modern interface :)

If I'm really honest, my enthusiasm for an Amiga emulator on a modern smart phone has dropped to zero... The Amiga and it's software just were not designed with touchscreens in mind...


I would agree with this, but I am a fan of emulation.

I was thrilled with the C64 emulator when it first came out but it too sank to zero.  The joystick control on it is just not work well for me.  Sometimes I can see Bruce Lee because my thumb will block him so I'm trying to move it about and it just doesn't work well.

I fear the Amiga Emulator with its need for both mouse support and joystick support will be as awkward.

However, I have respect for the folks doing the emulators and I hope they keep coming out for every new digital device.  :-)

Cheers!
