    How can I make the character move left or right simply by pointing/touching the screen to the left or right of character? Instead of having to drag the character with the joystick.

    Open the Menu Editor by clicking on that inverted tree icon:

    Double click on the Game Field:

    Drag and drop a button to the right, adjust size and set it as Char Move Right. Then copy that by click on it once and press key A and change it to Char Move Left:

    Same steps. Just look for Move Left/Right instead of Char Move Left/Right

    Is there a way to Shoot at the same moment that you move the character?

    For example if you press Right the character point Right and shoot at the same time.

    Similar to this:

    THANKS A LOT

    Agreed :) I actually thought at first that some genius had used a kids voice in a fighting game - brilliant, then I realised that it was the person making the video :) Funny all the same.
