| Pros: | Cons: |
|---|---|
| Many kids used to navigating with a joystick controller on screen from other popular games e.g. Minecraft & Roblox | Takes up UI space, might crowd the scene |
| Not necessarily the best option for a game that doesn’t require much exploration. Better suited for 3D games. |
