Turn your Apple Watch into a controller for iOS platformer Stella's Journey

An upcoming platformer will let you control the action by using the Apple Watch as a joypad.

Stella's Journey - a fairytale adventure from the studio behind Religion Simulator - will have an Apple Watch companion app that turns the tiny touchscreen into a controller for your iPhone.

It's hard to know how well it will work - you're still having to deal with the imprecise nature of a touchscreen and the developer hasn't been able to test it for comfort on the Watch itself. But it's an interesting idea worth exploring.

The Watch app will also come with a quiz that tests your memory about what happened on the last completed chapter. More Watch-powered mini-games are coming when the game is updated in early May.

Stella's Journey launches next week on April 30th.
