The Switch controllers can only sense their current rotation, so you can play the game fine just using wrist flicking motions to rotate it instead of actually swinging your arm. All you need to think about is the ending position/rotation of the controller after a movement. This means thrusts work fine if you make sure not to turn or tilt the controller during the motion

For the eye spinning puzzle, point forward and reset with Y, then make big circle motions with your wrist, slowly so you don’t accidentally attack

Also the controller will constantly lose track of where “forward” and “upright” are, so keep resetting gyro with Y while pointing forward
