Hello Neill, sorry for the delayed response! Please visit https://blimpsgame.com/compare to help you decide which platform version of Blimps to consider. The game can be controlled in a variety of ways: keyboard/mouse/gamepad/touchscreen/pencil. So it comes down to which device you want to play it on. Desktop or Mobile, if you choose Google Play Store (Mobile), we recommend using a Tablet to play it on. It's been play-tested on Samsung Galaxy Tablets and runs excellently; I connect my Bluetooth Xbox gamepad controller to the tablet and use that to play through the entire game. I hope you enjoy the game, thanks for playing! -Ed (co-developer of Blimps)
