TiltPad Turns Your iPhone Into A Motion Sensitive Game Controller

TiltPad, a new app to hit the App Store today lets you turn your iPhone or iPod Touch into a motion sensitive game controller for the Mac. All you’ll need to do is download the iOS app and the OS X server utility and you’re all set for some motion sensitive gaming!

The app let’s you customize and configure a fair amount of settings and the app also offers you a number of buttons to use on the touch screen as well. Lastly the app can also be used as a mouse when the iPhone is vertically orientated. Be sure to jump the break to watch the entertaining, if over dramatized, promo video for the app.

If you’re intrigued you can get the app on the iPhone App Store for US$1.99, the server client is free.
