I am trying to create a runner game that responds to multiple touch inputs like slide(swipe down)
jump(swipe up).
What’s your question? Have you read Input manual? If you need to detect multiple touch gestures at the same time then you need multi-touch, otherwise single touch is enough.
Maybe you can be inspired by or use my gesture module that can be used to detect single gestures such as swipes, long press, double tap etc.
