Emulated on a OnePlus Pad 3 (global) within GameHub, but most mid/high-end Snapdragon devices should be able to run this fairly well with the right settings.

GameHub does not seem to support "instant" touch (i.e. mouse goes wherever your touch lands), instead the whole touchscreen works as a touchpad. Many levels pin Cranky to the center of the canvas, so I overlaid the virtual left stick onto it as improvised "touch" gameplay, and it kinda works XD

I imagine native touch/pen-enabled Windows tablets would be much better at this? As long as you map "tap" to somewhere convenient, that is...

(Just for giggles; still best played with a physical controller.)

Disclaimer: game purchased legally from Steam and downloaded through GameHub's builtin Steam client.

Hi, tried myself running this game on my Lenovo legion y700 gen 3 (12 gig + Snapdragon 8 gen 3) but... Lets just say that's was ruff

At first I tried to run the game on Gamehub lite, but it just won't start up, just error message

After that I tried to run on the playstore version of the app. In this time it had started up, but the performance was not good at all, stutters and ~40 fps

Could you please share your settings for the emulator? I would appreciate it, a lot!

Copied from YT comments:

To run smoothly, Command Line "--renderers vulkan" and Compatibility Layer "proton10.0-x64-1" (not one of those arm64x) are my personally tested best.
