Controller Support
Stickplosion now plays start-to-finish on a controller.
- Navigate every menu on a pad — no keyboard or mouse needed
- Play a full match on a controller: move, aim, fire, secondary fire, ability, and reload
- The Character Designer is fully controller-driven, with an on-screen keyboard (multi-language) for naming your fighter
- One-tap issue presets in Report a Bug — reporting works without typing a word
Also in v0.8.0
- Explosive rounds and poison clouds now trigger at every bounce point, not just the final impact
- Poison clouds are now visible while they linger
- New "Getting Started" screen replaces the old tutorial — a quick, browsable guide to movement, shooting, terrain, and effects
- A batch of balance and stability fixes
Thanks for playing — and keep the reports coming (there's a one-tap preset for that now).
