How to move the character to bottom left/right?

Heading

Hi! I'm working on a 2D game and i want my character to move to the bottom left or right direction. I already made two buttons, but when i press them, my character goes only to the right or left.

Here the code i am using to make my character move with touchscreen buttons:

using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine;

public class Movement : MonoBehaviour { public float moveSpeed = 300; public GameObject character;

 private Rigidbody2D characterBody;
 private float ScreenWidth;


 // Use this for initialization
 void Start () {
     ScreenWidth = Screen.width;
     characterBody = character.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
 }

 // Update is called once per frame
 void Update () {
     int i = 0;
     //loop over every touch
     while (i < Input.touchCount) {
         if (Input.GetTouch (i).position.x > ScreenWidth / 2) {
             //move right
             RunCharacter (1.0f);
         }
         if (Input.GetTouch (i).position.x < ScreenWidth / 2) {
             //move left
             RunCharacter (-1.0f);
         }
         ++i;
     }
 }
 void FixedUpdate(){
     #if UNITY_EDITOR
     RunCharacter(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"));
     #endif
 }

 private void RunCharacter(float horizontalInput){
     //move player
     characterBody.transform.Translate(new Vector2(horizontalInput * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime, 1));

 }

}
