Need a cancel feature for retreat and moves

App is not overall bad, but definitely in need of a cancel button for when you accidentally hit the retreat instead of the attack you are going for. Same can be said when selecting a move to use. You might not want to attack but want to see how much damage you are doing. Need a cancel button!

    Misclicks are on you. You also aren't allowed to take back attacks IRL.

    When playing on mobile you don’t have tons of room to tap but also in real life you can see how much an attack does without going to attack. Not with this version of the game.

    I haven't misclicked any attacks on mobile while checking damage. In fact, every misclick I've done has been my fault.

    Stupid argument, you can't "misclick" in a real game. You announce your actions. You can't misannounce by accident.

    He knows what he's wants to do and the buttons are small, so it is clearly possible to hit the wrong one when they are right next to each other.

    The feature he is asking for is also included on PTCGO. So you're just wrong.

    Is it? As I recall, if you click retreat in PTCGO you have to retreat

    Indeed in PTCG Online when you retreat you are prompted to choose the energies you will discard to retreat, but you can instead press the red "Cancel" button.

    That option is missing in PTCG Live, no idea if it's like that on purpose to match IRL rules... but I would also welcome that "Cancel" option especially in mobile app.
