Shooting
You can activate ‘tap to shoot’ which allows you to shoot by tapping any position on the right hand third of the screen instead of the designated shoot button only. This will fire off the selected weapon. This comes in handy in gunplay focused missions where you need quick reflexes.
Free look camera control
For you to do this, you should touch the center of the screen at any point not occupied by a button icon and drag to any direction. This will rotate the camera to whichever direction you want and allows a full 3600 around Tommy.
Changing the position of the chase camera
You can adjust the distance between Tommy and the camera. This can be done by pinching in and out from the center of the screen.
1st person Auto aim
Activating this option gives you subtle hints regarding the right direction you should aim when using scoped weapons like the rocket launcher and the sniper rifle. However, not all the weapons in the game support this feature.
Jumping
To make Tommy the character jump, you simply double tap the ‘Run’ button icon.
View controls
This allows you to have various buttons displayed on the screen where each triggers an action depending on the situation you are in. Each icon is meant to carry out a certain action.
Adjust on foot controls
This allows you to customize the location of the button icons on the screen. These include icons such as the mini map and others. All you need to do is touch and drag each of the icons wherever you need them to be and double tap them to resize them. You can change them whenever you want.
Adjust Driving controls
This is somewhat similar to the on foot controls. You just touch and drag to position them, and also double tap to resize. They are independent controls, so they do not have to be consistent with the on foot controls.
Adjust Flight controls
This is similar to the controls mentioned above because the principle to adjust and resize is the same.
Use analog steering
When you are on foot, you are in control of movement by holding any point on the left hand third of the screen which is not occupied by a button icon. Your thumb will become the centre axis of the virtual digital analog stick. Therefore, you can drag in all directions to move. This method can also be used for steering while driving.
The default method to control is the one where you have two buttons on for left and right. To activate the digital analog stick, you can turn on this option.
Accelerometer
This is much like in other games where you tilt the device left or right to steer the car while driving. Your device has to support this feature for you to utilize this motion.
Left-handed analog
This feature is customized mostly for left-handed players. It is like creating a mirror image of the controls.
Invert look
This option inverts the y-axis thus comes in handy when shooting weapons such as the rocket launcher and the sniper rifle.
Changing the layout
For you to be able to do this, you need to head to the options screen and select controls. From here, you can adjust the controls for walking, driving or flying. For you to increase the size of an icon, you can double tap it. To make it smaller, you should keep double tapping and this will cycle you through all the available sizes.
Changing music stations
Sometimes, you may not be in the mood to listen to the music playing on radio in the car, and it is possible to change the stations midgame. To do this, you can swipe left or right on the station name appearing at the bottom on the left hand corner of the screen.
