Tap the Spire

Tap the Spire 

GitHub Source
Tap the Spire is a work-in-progress mod focused on making Slay the Spire 2 play better on touch devices and handheld setups.
This is not a full UI overhaul yet, but it already includes meaningful improvements for combat input, hand readability, scaling, and general touch usability.

I am publishing it early so players can use it now, share feedback, and help shape future updates.

Recommended Configuration Mod
For in-game configuration, ModConfig is recommended:
ModConfig for Slay the Spire 2

Installation
Extract the .zip and copy the TapTheSpire folder into your game's mods directory, for example:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Slay the Spire 2\mods

Feature Highlights

• Tap Combat Tweaks Touch combat flow is adjusted to reduce misplays and make card usage more deliberate:
• Enemy-target cards: tap card -> select enemy -> double tap enemy to play, or tap the card again
• Tapping an enemy updates the card's calculated preview for that target
• Self / non-target cards: tap card -> tap the card again to play
• Single-enemy scenarios: tap card -> tap same card again

Swipe Play (optional)
Enables swipe-first card play behavior for touch:

• Swipe up on a card to play it directly (non-target cards)
• Swipe up on target cards to open the targeting arrow immediately
• No extra "select by tap first" step required in swipe mode
• Swipe down back to hand cancels targeting so you can continue fluidly

Flat Hand Layout + Readability Tools

• Flat Hand Layout for cleaner card presentation on touch screens
• Card Size (Hand) and Card Size (Active) controls
• Hand Side Margin adjustment so side UI stays visible and cards remain accessible
• Bottom alignment option so full cards stay visible at the screen edge
• Built-in max hand width behavior (auto-shrink) so flat hand does not stretch across the entire screen

Vertical Creature Offset
Adjust vertical creature positioning (players/enemies) for better visibility and touch comfort in combat scenes.
Safe Margin
Keeps important UI elements away from screen edges (useful for rounded corners / handheld displays).
Global UI Scaler
Scale the overall UI for better legibility on smaller displays.
Double Tap Confirm
Adds confirmation behavior in risky click areas (merchant/events/etc.) to reduce accidental actions.
Scrollable Merchant Carpet
Merchant inventory area can be scrolled so content remains reachable when scaling is enabled.
Pause Menu Scrollbar Fix
Pause/settings scrollbar is aligned to the right edge for cleaner touch access.

Known Limitations

• This mod is still in active development; some screens are still being refined.
• UI Scale changes are currently safest when configured from the main menu.
• Some room-specific layouts may still need polish on unusual resolutions.

Why release now?
Because the current feature set is already useful on its own:

• More deliberate, touch-friendly combat interactions
• Cleaner hand layout and better card readability
• More usable scaled UI on handheld/touch setups
• Safer interactions in high-misclick contexts

Feedback, bug reports, and suggestions are very welcome and directly help prioritize upcoming updates.
