Rule within actor you are moving: When All --> accelleramator Y is less than or equal to -.2
Place within rule accellerate behavior and have it accellerate relative to scene, direction 0 (for right movement), and put in speed at which you want it to accellerate.

That will get you movement to the right. Movement to the left would be the same rule but instead direction should be 180 and the -.2 should be just positive .2. If you want it to stop when not tilting add another rule when accelleramator Y > -.2 and when accelleramator Y is < .2, interopolate (or change attribute depending on how fast you want it to stop) self.Motion.Linear Velocity X = 0.

That works in my game.

Thanks, that works the trick, how do you test it on the preview player though?

You have to test it with GS Viewer on a device. You can download the GS Viewer to your Mac. Then you need to build it in X-Code onto your device. TShirtbooth has a video on how to do that at GSHelper.com. Wow, I am really pushing his site tonight. But he and the site are great. Anyway, this all assumes you are a registered Apple Developer (costs $99 for individual for a year). If you are not, you cannot test it on your device.
