I’ve been spending every spare moment I have getting Krashlander ready for the Window Phone 7 launch. I decided today to take a few minutes away from development and put together a short video.

The following video shows how the touch controls for Krashlander operate. Essentially, moving your thumb over the touch surface on the right controls the posture of Krashlander on the left. There is a bit of math involved to get this working smoothly, but I think it’s pretty intuitive after a few minutes playing with it.

The overlay icons on the right are just there to help guide the user as they learn the controls. Once comfortable, they can be shut off making for a better view of the game screen.

Enough jabber, here’s the vid:

One last note. I actually scaled up the size of Krashlander for the video. In actual gameplay, he/she will be a bit smaller.
