That two-button control scheme also made it a perfect candidate for a mobile port, and indeed One Finger Death Punch made its way to mobile in 2015. Unfortunately, the version for mobile was stripped down and put together in an extremely free to play manner, and while the core gameplay remained excellent, the in-game currencies, ads, energy timers, and other cruft brought down the experience.
