Games that support the Deck's multitouch (pawb.social)

The Steam Deck's multitouch screen might be its most underutilised feature. Until recently, I wasn't even sure whether devs could use it for anything more than simple mouse emulation. But I've just started playing "Sky: Children of the Light" on my Deck (which is generally a great experience on Deck, especially on the OLED with 90Hz HDR) and I found that when using a musical instrument, you can actually use the touchscreen to play up to 10 notes at the same time.

This got me curious: Do you know if there are any other games on Deck using multitouch, or is Sky the first one that does it?

Slay the Spire and card games work well with the touch interface. Gem matching games like Matchr work well too. Hardly any once can make use of a multitouch PC game. Touch games tend to be released on the phone.

Here's a different suggestion. Try emulating Mercury Meltdown for the Wii. That can be played entirely with gyro controls.
