You can use Unified Remote (https://www.unifiedremote.com) for your phone. I personally using it while watching movies and it works like charm.

 

Or, invest a bit in wireless keyboard and mouse and you could actually play while sitting on your bed.

Humor me, as you should do.

System Power 9 500 W PSU || Deepcool AG300 CPU Cooler || Skyworth H27G30Q 2k 180 Hz Monitor || Logitech M650 Signature Mouse || Nuphy Air75 v2 Keyboard

 

Samsung Galaxy A34 5G

8GB RAM, 256GB Internal Storage, 128GB SanDisk Extreme, and you could find the rest of the specs on the interwebz lol
