How to achieve this controller set up - Cardboard VR

There is a game called Zombiestan VR on the app store that is made for google cardboard with the use of a controller, that works exactly how I'm setting up the controls for my game. My game is about exploring so I don't need the guns and shooting stuff but I am really struggling to emulate this control set up. My game works almost the same except the head doesn't rotate the player like in Zombiestan...
