I think the swiping would make for a great mobile game (people are already conditioned to it with games such as Angry Birds and Candy Crush).
What confused me about the controls was that I didn't walk to where I clicked. I either walked past where I clicked or stopped short of where I clicked. I also had a few times where I swear I swiped one way, but flew another. As Crime Dog said, watching people play should help you figure this out. Also, it was hard to figure out where I would stop after dashing (this made the switches very frustrating). I think adding a marker of where you will land after dashing would fix this.
