Why are you purposely trying to prevent non-mobile users from using your app? Do you think that will prevent cheating?
We think that it's only fair if you're competing against people who play from touch screen mobile devices versus arrow keys. It would be as if one person had a little goal, and one person had a bigger goal on a soccer field. We are just trying to keep things fair.

@TheSwan, I agree that that would be cheating, and we will try to minimize that. The difference between mobile and desktop gaming is very big, and we're trying to create a fair gaming environment. Having a mouse and keyboard versus an xbox controller to play a game makes a big difference. I personally prefer the keyboard.
The same works for touch screen tapping, and using keys or clicks for our mobile game.

You can't really assume that mobile devices can't cheat though - you could (rather) trivially inject cheating javascript into a WebView.
Both the Apple App Store, and Google Play store have strict terms of service against skilled games.
