Hello Everyone,

I have already posted this in another forum...but this seemed like a better place!!!

I am starting to make a game on my own () and wanted to know the best way to design character controls for side-scrolling platform game for mobile (mainly Android).

What the character does?

Bare minimum:

• Move left and right
• Jump

Advanced:

• 
  
• Shooting
• Grab objects

Any help on the design and concept part will be helpful.

That's crossposting. And your question really is a Game Design question, and you're getting replies over there, so I'm closing this one.
