Hello Spaceshooters!

Controller support is now available in Around The Core!

You can now play the game using a controller, including navigating menus, choosing upgrades, and playing through runs without needing to switch back to keyboard and mouse.

This was something I wanted to add earlier, but a few unexpected issues around launch pushed it back. Thanks to everyone who asked about it and waited patiently.

Here’s what changed:

Controller support added

Not Today Achievement
Adjusted the requirements for the "Not Today" achievement to make it easier and more realistically achievable. The previous requirement ended up being more difficult than intended, so it has been rebalanced based on player feedback.
Bug fixes
Minor bug fixes.

That’s all for this update. As always, if you run into any problems with anything, feel free to report them in the Steam Discussions. Until that day, may your runs be full of stars...
