Lack of accelerometer/gyroscope use

Postby lonelily » Thu Aug 26, 2010 3:01 am

I bought the game due to it's good reviews on iTunes and I'm very happy with my choice!

However why isn't there an option to tilt to play the game? It seems like a very modern game and that feature is a massive omission. Are there plans to implement this?

Keep up the great work.

Hi lonelily,

Thanks for the feedback. We actually experimented with tilt controls, but found them to be extremely awkward and decided the game was better without them. We believe that including them, even as an option, would detract from the quality of the experience. (People would try them, probably think "this sucks," and go back to tap controls. ;-))

Thanks,
Eddy

I'm not sure it would "detract" from the experience.

But your call.
