   I have a side scroll shooting game. There will be enemies coming from high, mid and low. I have been debating over what character controls to use.

   A. Character cannot jump. Provide a scroll bar to adjust angle of weapon. I sort of implemented this and it works.

   B. Character CAN jump. Weapon will always shoot straight ahead.

   Opinions appreciated. Thanks.

   first thing that came to mind:

   option C: Character can jump by using a swipe up. fire with click. to adjust angle of weapon, tilt iphone.

   :D sorry for not voting A nor B :)

   I appreciate the input but I want to keep it simpler for now. There are many things I would like to add to the game but I want to get this out the door within a month or two.

   How else will the character move (left-right, 4-way, 8-way, any direction, etc.)?

   Does the character need to dodge enemies or bullets?

   Option A sounds pretty cool without knowing any more details.
