Mobile Controls — Touch Input

Mobile HUD Layout

Roblox mobile places virtual joystick bottom-left and jump/interact buttons bottom-right. Animal Hospital context prompts appear when near desk, beds, and Shop — large tap target "Interact" replaces E key. Camera swipe rotates view — two-finger pinch optional zoom on some devices.

HUD density increases during Events — fat-finger mis-taps cause wrong Shutter states. Tablet 10-inch+ recommended for desk role; phone better for runner following arrows.

Rotate device landscape if Roblox settings allow — wider CCTV view.

iPad Air size minimum comfortable desk recommendation — iPhone SE surgery avoid assign runner instead.

Check-in on Mobile

Desk on phone: tap photo tripod Interact, tap shutter icon, swipe to CCTV panel, tap feed tiles compare, tap Shutter open/close decisively. Slower than PC but viable on iPad for dedicated check-in player.

Paperwork lists scroll vertically — verify appointment slowly; anomalies exploit rush.

Use headphones for audio anomalies — phone speaker weak for reverse speech.

Mobile desk viable Shift 7+ only on large tablet with Camera Upgrade purchased.

Speed Cola Paramedic tap same as other consumables.

X-Ray drag on touch screen use slow strokes — jitter fails alignment minigame.

Phone thermal throttle mid Shift 10 — FPS drop kills surgery timing cool device beforehand.

Bluetooth headphones battery die mid reverse speech check — wired backup.

External phone cooler clip streamer gear optional long sessions.
