Advice on what to do with mouse hover effects on mobile

When I hover my mouse over an image, some flavour text will appear. What should I do for mobile players? Tap hold? An entirely separate UI (please no)?

I mean, tap and hold works. I would make a system where if you would get within a distance of an npc a ui would appear. Hope this helps!

There would be several use cases and methods to go with this.

- If the flavour text contains an additional dialog or information that has :

  1. some use or little impact on the experience, consider shortening the contents and merge them with other contents instead.

  2. no use or impact on the experience whatsoever, consider forgetting it for mobile players as a whole as they may already have a difficult time navigating through most other UI elements.

  3. major or significant impact on the experience, consider ‘TAP to flip or change page’ or ‘Scrolling’ for convenience and ease of reading for mobile players, without the hassle or need for redesigning or adding additional UIs.

This is speculation that you are referring to on-screen GUI, of course…

…which it is!

I have a store page with an arsenal of weapons. All you see are the view models. I thought it would be nice to have some text which tells you something like the name.

Of course, when you click on said weapon it will bring up another UI with things like stats - among other things.
