The game I picked is the iconic arcade game Galaga. I believe this game would benefit from an alternate controller because everytime I played it I would quickly get bored with the game because of how simple the controls were, namely using a joystick to go left and right and a button and you would play the game just barely twitching 3 fingers the whole time. With the designs I thought up, control would still be pretty simple as the game only really has three output actions of moving left and right and shooting. In my designs I tried to have the player feel more immersed in the experience by either having the a controller that is shaped like the character so that the control feels more personal or having the controller in the shape of a spaceship style steering wheel with triggers for shooting that feels more like you are in the ship. I'm planning of using the onboard accelerometer and possibly a potentiometer or trigger as additional inputs.
