Scaffolding: Progress Review

The controller will be in the shape of a buzz saw, an iconic obstacle throughout the game I've chosen, Blood Trapland 2. The design of the controller will be such that it can easily be maneuvered with one hand. The controller can be placed onto any flat surface and tilted to the left and right to control the character’s respective movement, tilting the top of the controller up would equate to a jump, and covering the light sensor in the center would have the character crouch. This design can make the game a bit more challenging for experienced players of obstacle side scroller games and can facilitate a level playing field for competitive friends.

 Questions

How would creating the design out of metal benefit or hurt the design?

How would you label the motions capable of the design for users to easily read and use without taking away from the design?
