I’m sure i’ve seen this video before in some sort.

The only reason I’m posting this because the first time I saw this video(?)

I thought this first person view would make for a much better IOS game than a sidescroller in terms of buttons.

The orignal sidescroller would need a traditional D-Pad and at least two button, one for jumping and one for action.

But in this this view if we assumed the the character travels at a pre-determined speed like Canabalt then we only need the two buttons. (although climbing ladders and such may need some further thought).

On another note i’ve been thinking of picking up a gameboy pocket so i can play through games like Mario and Zelda (emulators just aren’t the same!)
