    Looks good this, any chance of an alt method of controls, eg left/right buttons on the left and jump/fire on the right ?

    Hey, Thank you.
    Controlling the player with the accelerometer works quite well. With a little bit practice you can move very accurately. Also the maps are made for these controls.
    BUT if more people want buttons. We can make an alt option for them :)

    Yeah i agree, i think we need more people on this thread asking for touch screen buttons !

    But you only have to look at all the 'big' platformers on iOS - League of Evil, Mos Speedrun, Paper Monsters and recently Fancy Pants. All touch screen buttons.

    Think its a huge risk to have tilt type controls for a platformer (not my personal view but looking at all the big name platformers as evidence), would strongly advise you adding these in the initial release. The graphics look great, jumping, shooting, seems great but really think you need touch screen buttons as its a platformer big time

    (Moves arm like Obi-Wan)....
    You will add touch screen controls ;)

    Okay that's great news :) Buy from me also. Looks kind of like League Of Evil's controls and if they work like that, it'll be awesome!

    Metal Slug inspired. Thanks for the touch controls, hope the invisible touch area is large and responsive. Platforming mechanics look a little rough but I assume that will get polished.

    Was metal slug an inspiration for the game? A lot of things look really similar

    I cringe at how similar the art and sprites are to Metal Slug. Enemy death sprites, Jumps, Stance... Horribly similar.

    I know the Metal Slug + Mario combination is definitely awesome, but usage of similar sprites to one of its inspirations is just low.
