    I tried making the camera a child of a empty game object and tilting the game object in the opposite direction of the to keep the screen level like asphalt 8. The problem is it’s just not smooth. Is there a better way?

    You'll have to give more details about how exactly you're accomplishing this. A video would help too.

    Np, I can make one when I get home. Have you ever played asphalt 8?

    ok, thanks for the video. If I understand correctly, you want to use the screen as a steering wheel, but cancel out that tilt in the camera. Detecting the tilt every frame and rotating the camera object in the opposite direction is a good way to do this. Since I don't know exactly how you're doing this or what the nature of the non-smoothness is ("not smooth" is quite a vague description), I can't really comment more.
