Ok... However I've played with it a little more and imho it's not so 
playable using the accelerometers in a such way since they should be 
more sensible to the movement or the screen is not so visible when playing.
Imho when the game is launched, the phone should consider the actual 
position as the "base position" (the one in which the virtual joypad is 
centered), then considering the movement when the phone is moved of few 
degree (however less than a centimeter of phone edge rotation).
Otherwise, imho, it's unplayable.

I wouldn't dislike also an implementation without the accelerometers 
usage (just placing the virtual buttons - for moving too - in the screen 
edges; like actually is done for actions only). Imho the screen is quite 
big to see and press at the same time (in games like this).

Bye!
