Octopus | - Basic App is free with watching AD, but "Premium (2$)" to store private "game data" into Google account. Or it allows only guest account access. And for advanced touch features, another 6$ needs to pay.
- While Octopus is running, the gamepad can't support its compatible game, because all input data work as touch-mapping only. | - It works on all android-compatible gamepad.
| - Octopus run the game app inside Octopus app, which mean it can monitor all the data processing, so it creates risks;
