How would you make an intuitive control scheme for a touchscreen, 2D, Mario-style platformer?
in b4 onscreen buttons

divide the screen in 4 quarters
Tap bottom left to move left
Tap bottom right to move right
Tap upper right to jump
Tap upper left for attack or whatever.
onscreen buttons
neural input
Eye tracking for movment, with touch anywhere for jump

Pretty stupid desu, you're going to be obstructing the view to the game constantly and also traveling around like crazy

>eye tracking
>intuitive
Your ideas are bad and you should feel bad
tilt for direction input
shake along the x/y/z axis for button inputs
can be played onehanded with gloves and all inputs are independent from each other and can be "pressed" simulataneously

>tilt and shake controls
Go home Nintendo you're drunk
1) give up
2) use an attachable hardware controller
there is a reason why even nintendo cant come up with a better control scheme than auto-running
TOUCH CONTROLS DO NOT WORK FOR GAMES

All games are turn based, so they're technically all puzzles
Check and mate

>touch controls do not work for games
Maybe you meant "touch controls are not the best suited for games"? Because clearly a lot of games have touch controls and they do work.

you putting your mouth on my dick also works but id prefer a cute girl

It's pretty easy: make a small touchscreen controller BELOW the game.

how often have you used the touchscreen on the nintendo ds, not counting the cases were a game forced you to use them
>>60513964
if a cute girl has a dick thats a bonus
Touch left or right to move, tap while holding to jump? Changing direction midair might be a problem, though.
>>60513198
I wouldn't, I would make a turned based RPG or puzzle game instead.
>>60513198
Can applications hijack the volume buttons? That would be a start. But then you have no volume control, which sucks.
Player moves the background not the sprite
>>60513198
Tilt left/right for movement and tap for jump.
I'd never make a mobile platforer in the first place though.

The fuck does that have to do with anything?
The controller would be on the same screen as the game, but would be below the game and seperate from the game. It can be very small as well since most platformers are simple "move left move right jump use ability". It doesn't get in the way of the game, its close to where the thumbs go. It's the best solution.
There can also be a split controller scheme that is on the SIDES of the game window, and can be small enough that it doesn't compromise the game experience.
