Good news! I’ll often pick up random indies from itch.io and nothing kills my enthusiasm like on-screen buttons being the only controls. It was fine when I was emulating pokémon over a decade ago, but for anything where you need passable reactions it’s just not a good experience. Touchscreen controls are for when you want to be looking at what you’re clicking, if you’re looking elsewhere then you need physical buttons so you can feel where you’re clicking.
