One of the biggest challenges with 2D platformers on mobile devices are the touch controls. During testing, the controls were the number one topic we received feedback on. It seemed like every time we adjusted the controls, some people would like the change, while others would prefer the controls without the new adjustment. It was becoming clear that touch controls make very poor dpad substitutes so we spent a lot of time developing a new approach for controls using the touch screen.

Using our new approach, the player is finally empowered to customize their controls specifically to their personal preferences with great detail. See our FAQs below for more details.

>How does this new control concept work?

Our new approach consists of two parts:

1) The type of control - There are three types of controls: 8-way dpad, analog stick, and moving analog stick. The moving analog stick is the same as the analog stick except that the center is set wherever you touch the screen. This means that if your thumb leaves the screen and comes back down at a different location, then the "moving analog stick" will relocate it's center to the new location.

2) Fine tuning the control - Although this will affect all three controls, the dpad is the most affected. Since there are various sized fingers and preferences on how the dpad should "feel", we provide a slider bar to enable the player to custom design the "feel" of the controls specifically for them.

What does that mean?

If you're shooting to the right, (i.e., pressing fire while touching dpad-right, but suddenly you want to shoot diagonally up and to the right) how far should you have to move your finger from dpad-right to dpad-diagonal up and right? Some people prefer to move their finger a very small amount while others want to move a slightly longer distance. So lets say you have big thumbs, you might not have as much control when the distance is too short, so you end up toggling between shooting right and diagonally up and right. Or maybe if you have smaller thumbs, the distance may be too long and you may not shoot diagonally up and right when you want to.

The slider bar adjusts the distance between directions, such as right and diagonally up and right, as well as change the size of the image of the control. The larger the image, the greater the distance your finger travels to go from right to diagonal up and right. Conversely, the smaller the image, the less distance your finger travels to go from right to diagonal up and right.
