About Ascent Alpha
Ascent is a new FPS game, combining elements of some of my favorite classics. It is currently in Alpha. Almost all features are developed and the Beta should be ready in a couple of months.
I am looking for suggestions for control schemes.
Comments are welcome. Any and all suggestions will be considered. This is a test application in infancy with updates every few weeks.
Instructions: Lower left joystick controls left/right direction and forward/reverse movement. Two buttons above the joystick rotate clockwise / counter-clockwise. Upper right set of buttons control up/down direction (center two buttons) and fire energy blobs(left button) and gives a speed boost (right button).

Controls feel interesting. It takes a while to get used to the pitch control. One alternative control setup would be more dragging oriented. Drag up/down for pitch left/right for yaw and a two finger twist for roll. And a simple tap to shoot. Then you could owe the main left control for forward, back and strafe. That would remove some of the controls that cover the screen and they might feel more intuitive. But then that might be going against what you want to make this game into. (Quick third idea. Gyro)
