The "tap/swipe" and "tilt" methods are the more difficult to command. While the "joystick" and "d-pad" methods take better control over movement, these two methods shrink your game view. If you prefer the larger game view, go with the "tap/swipe" method and exist patient.

With more than than thirty levels, if yous like Pac-man styled games, Prof. Stone is worth checking out. Graphics were decent, the game ran smoothly. For those who aren't crazy about this style of game, it does accept an entertaining quality but not much staying power. The weakness of the game comes with your controls. To the developers credit, they did include several styles to permit you choose which 1 feels best to you.
