Touch/Swipe controls

Swipe-only controls make more sense:

The left side of the screen will be used for moving around. When swiping the hero jumps/dashes in the same direction. When in the air, only one more dash/move can be done before falling to the ground. This enables the player to attack from above.

The right side of the screen will be used for attack/defense. Tapping the screen will launch the heroes melee attack. Holding the screen will activate their shield. When swiping, a powerful special attack could be activated that times the player out for a short time.
