Playing on mobile has a fatal flaw (self.pixeldungeon)

The number of times a run gets ruined or I just die outright because I accidentally tap the wrong place or just accidentally tap the screen at all is making me want to stop playing entirely.

Nearly every time it's entirely out of my control and something causes it to happen.

That gap between the search and quick slots? You can click there and your character will move. Many times I will be trying to search and my character will go kill themselves instead.

I desperately need to be able to select a tile and confirm the action to move or attack.

Edit: Another small thing this would resolve is when I intend on examining something and I thought I hit the examine button but apparently missed, then I end up doing something I did not intend on doing. This literally just happened to me where I was trying to examine the two crystal chests in a room to determine what kind of items are inside, and instead of examining one of them I just opened the chest.

I agree 100%. I have died a lot from misapplying... Recently nearly died several times from eyes and scorpions from mistapping. Once mistapped on grim trap. My phone isn't the best but I don't think it should exclude people with old phones. And agree about this excluding people you have motor control issues that will struggle with this more. The suggestion for a 'confirm movement' UI option is a good idea.
