Sorry about the sprites that you won’t be able to see. The only ones you really need to see are the movement arrows - up and down at the bottom left corner of the screen, left and right at the bottom right.
The game is a red rectangle that collects coins that spawn randomly at the right side of the screen.
At the moment I’m trying to make the movement buttons work better. At the moment if you hold your finger on the same spot the collector rectangle stays put, but if you keep moving your finger on the same direction button the collector will keep moving. Any tips?
