Journey to the Center of Hawkthorne is a crowd source-developed reproduction of the fictional 8-bit game from the NBC television series Community. It is built on the LÖVE engine, primarily by user Derferman, but hundreds of fans have aided in the direction of the project and much of the graphics, myself included.
Actually porting the game to a mobile device would be a huge endeavor, and it is not something that would be done soon, as the project is still in the alpha phase. However, a major component of the development is portability. The controls are standardized, as to allow the game to be played using video game console controllers both on PC, and in the future, on consoles. Porting the game onto mobile devices, which may be experimented with once a stable LÖVE engine is developed for iOS and Android, requires similar control mapping.
I have created one such mapping proposal. Multiple keys are required for the game, and screen real estate is a major concern for the game, so it is my belief that the controls both (1) use the smartphone’s additional capabilities such as the gyroscope and common gesture reading and (2) faithfully replicate the games functionality.
