Wow, I'm surprised how responsive the tilt controls are. With some kind of pre-game calibration, that would probably be very usable. It looks to me that it just starts with whatever phone position you have when the program starts running, right? But yeah, it has a lot of potential.
Here's my version. How the controls work: the blue dot is your "center." When you move your finger in any direction, it applies a force in that direction, with greater distance from the point to your finger resulting in greater added force. NOTE: this is not a "swipe" mechanism. Think of it more like a virtual analog joystick. My students found it a little hard to "get" the mechanism, but once you get it, you can really get very good control over the ball's motion. See what you think:

The pre-game calibration simply reads the starting angle of the phone and sets tilt x and y to zero. You have to hold the phone still before starting the game. I would like to have a little touch button to calibrate on the fly, it would be easy to set up, I just haven't done it yet. I'll check out your control scheme as soon as I get some time.
