Hi,
i agree that there may be unsolvable levels with a tilt sensor. But at least
it's able to provide permanent acceleration ... that's exactly what keeping
the device tilted does.
BTW: I am the author of mulg and the creator of the "tilt dongle" for palmos.
The tilt sensor may not be able to solve all levels, but it's plain fun since
it's very natural to use for a game like mulg or enigma. Some people wrote
special levels for mulg to be played with a tilt sensor.
I am adding tilt stick support to enigma in this very moment.
