Controls v1.1.0 and up
Controls were designed with the idea of JHBN forming a diamond and when thumb is on J at 45 degrees holding phone comfortably you should be able to reach all action keys easily without the need to take thumb off the keyboard.
With Virtual Joy Stick and Strafe Gesture you can play with keyboard closed if you like.
Gesture controls:
Gesture down= Next Weapon
Gesture up= Previous Weapon
Hold Gesture= Strafe mode where joystick left right is strafe
Screen Controls:
Just as displayed in picture with virtual Joystick for Look & Move
Tip 1: Find the "dead zone" for the virtual joystick this is where nothing happens while finger is on screen. Once dead zone is established roll your thumb around it. The further you go the faster you will move/turn. It acts like a real joystick so keep that in mind.
Tip 2: Moving around with finger on gesture strafe seems to work really well and letting go to turn/aim.
Tip 3: Lower mouse speed in options menu.
Red: Action
J= Fire
H= Strafe Left
N= Strafe Right
B= Jump
Sym= Fire
Blue: Turbo
I= Turbo Forward
U= Turbo Strafe Left
K= Turbo Strafe Right
Yellow: Weapons
Select Weapon by pressing corresponding number 1-8
Purple: Only work during Action Keyboard mode Note- "Orange+Key" means you hold down orange key and press corresponding button
@= Toggle Between Action & Normal Keyboard (For typing in console use etc.)
Q= Menu/Esc
'= Quick Load (Orange+L)
_=Quick Save (Orange+,)
W= Left arrow
S= Up Arrow
Z= Right Arrow
A= Down Arrow
%= Console (Orange+I)
Notes
Discussion on the topic can be found Here
Video can be found on WebOS-Internals youtube channel
-Keep in mind Quake does not have a "Use Key"
-You can customize Keyboard controls in the options menu but they get reset every time you start the game Note: Remember to toggle to regular keyboard mode when doing this.
--Beta builds are avaliable at http://wdtz.org/files/sdlquake . There are no guarantees on betas, but I'll try to keep them stable, and they'll get you extra features early. Just copy it over the existing binary or run "wget http://wdtz.org/files/quake.sh -O- |/bin/sh" from terminal.

Story
The player takes the role of an un-named protagonist sent into a portal in order to stop an enemy code-named "Quake". Previously, the government had been experimenting with teleportation technology, and upon development of a working prototype called a "Slipgate", this enemy has compromised the human connection with their own teleportation system, using it to insert death squads into the "human" dimension, supposedly in order to test the martial capabilities of humanity. The sole surviving protagonist in Operation Counterstrike is the player, who must advance, starting each of the four episodes from a human held but overrun military base, before fighting through into other dimensions, traversing these via slipgate or their otherworld equivalent. Once passing through each slipgate, the player's main objective is to survive and locate the exit which will take him to the next level, not unlike that of id Software's previous hit, Doom.
