Had the same problem at first, but moving one finger before the others made it work. At four fingers my phone can't do it anymore. It seems that it can only detect 3 pressure points at a time.


The same, my S23 doesn't recognise 4 touches.


Does it really not? I remember a lot of years back everyone was boasting how they can recognize 10 touches at the same time. Perhaps try an app, to see if the limitation comes from hardware or software?

My Note9 is able to register at least 10 separate touches in Chwazi app (just tested). Seems weird a newer phone in the basically same line would downgrade to three.


Found out that if you activate 3-finger touch for screenshot, that disables the phone's ability to register more than 3 touch points. With that disabled I can now play the game again (and after several 4-fingered ones I'm now stuck at a 3-finger one)


It was the last one, and I managed.

Quite fun game!

You have data scientists busy analyzing telemetry all the time. It's conceivable someone figured "the data shows" most people don't even use 3 fingers at a time, much less 5+, so why not simplify the screen driver / hardware to save costs (or trade it for some improvement elsewhere)...

Newer phones are more optimized than older ones. On the market, optimized doesn't mean better.
