Hi, I'm creating my game, its going pretty well, Its a very fun game to play with a laptop, but I'm releasing it to the App Store, so I have to make it playable on a touch screen device (since you need to use the keyboard to play the game), but I'm stuck between making Tilt Controls, or Buttons (such as thumb sticks) to play the game, so I want to know what you guys think, Tilt controls? or Button Controls?

Thanks. - Hunter

    personal I think button controls are best.
    but it all depends on what kind of game you are making :) if its a racing game then tilt controls but if its a player walking then button controls

    @timolapre1998 Thanks, Do you think people would prefer a switch to change the controls from tilt, to buttons, so the player has a choice, or do you think just have one control?

    yes! I think that's the best solution :) maybe a little bit more work but everything to make a good game right? :)

    It depends on what kind of game you're making.
    For example doodle jump used tilt control because that would make their game better.

    Some people prefer the screen "real estate" over thumbsticks. With that said, as long as the person's thumbs or fingers get in the way of gameplay, that route should be good as well.

    Here is a link to my perfect tilt control template if you need it: http://marketplace.gamesalad.com/#category=13&product=6910

    Good luck!
