Game Controller Concept Review

 Run 2 Controller Review

    For this project, when thinking about simple computer games that played a significant role in my childhood, the Coolmath game 'Run 2' immediately came to mind. It was a fun, fast-paced 2-D platforming game in which you would traverse increasingly difficult levels as a small alien character. To me, the biggest improvement this game could benefit from is a more robust and dynamic input system, because while the core gameplay loop and difficulty level at base is extremely interesting; the act of leaving your hands static on your keyboard as your character flies through increasingly dastardly platforming challenges seems oddly dissonant and just plain boring. So, creating controls that incorporate more movement in their function seems like a no-brainer.
