For my project I decided I would work with the 1983 arcade game Root Beer Tapper. It is playable via an online archive, or I have a version of the game I recreated in Unity. This is a game that has very simple controls but is fast-paced and exciting. I feel tilt controls would make gameplay more immersive and intuitive. For my mapping, I plan to have it so the player tilts the CPE on the Y-axis to move the bartender between bars, tilts on the X-axis to hold and release the tap, and holds the buttons to move left and right.
