Spider: Secret of Bryce Manor has controls sort of like Alan described- you "draw" with your finger where you want the spider to jump:

That's an awesome looking game, very creative! I might have to pick that up sometime.

I was thinking of a control scheme more where you press buttons that outside of the play area. My graphic above doesn't do that, and it isn't even really what I think would work best. I've created a new concept on my iPhone of how the game could be played in horizontal mode -- and I think it would work very well! My wife tried it out (well, it's only a picture, but she pretend-played MM by pressing the buttons on the picture) and she likes it very much and thinks I need to convince Vern to port MM to the iPhone now. At first she wasn't sure how it would work, but now she wants to play it on her iPhone.

Alan - have you looked at "Shift"? Don't know if it could be applicable, but it does add another option, possibly from room to room or level to level. "Rope N Fly" has some interesting jump/touch moves. 'Tapping' would be easy for lever pulls - too bad the phone doesn't recognize one or two finger tapping.

I haven't tried Shift or Rope N Fly yet. I'll add those to my to-try list! Thanks! I've seen Rope N Fly on the app store before, but the graphics seemed a little too MS Paint so I didn't get it. Don't get me wrong - one of my favorite games* for the iPhone is Enviro-Bear 2010... and those graphics look like they were made with MS Paint too -- but the game has so much humor and charm that the graphics really fit it well.

*Okay, not my FAVORITE, but well worth the 99 cents. Where else can you enjoy all the excitement of a BEAR driving a CAR?!

The graphics are - like "Rope N Fly" - pretty simplistic, but the concept of 'shifting' the screen is pretty cool. Grayson loves it and finished the game the second time through.

Thanks for the recommendation! I completed the trial/free version of Shift this afternoon. It was rather creative, and a good brain twister. The control scheme mostly worked, with the left/right buttons on the left/right sides, and press both to jump. It did lead to a couple of funny situations where I did unintentional things because I wasn't used to the unconventional nature of the controls. For MM, I think a similar control scheme might shrink the play screen down too far, though!

I have tried endless number of times to remove myself from future notices re: this tread, by clicking on the tab at the bottom "Notify of replies" and selecting NO. But for some reason, the instructions are not holding? hmmmm

I think it's a great idea for MM to go on the iPhone/iPod Touch, I think you could maybe make it so you have to drag your finger to move Jack and there's a small button for reading signs and activating switches and when you want to jump a simple flick of your finger could do the trick. A good price could be $5 and in the light version you could only include 3 mansions and only selected custom ones. If people think it's overly priced then you could reduce it to $2. I hope these help Wink
