In the past few weeks, 11-year-old programmer Askold has been working on the game's full controller support (Steam Input) and Steam Deck compatibility.
Previously, the demo version was only controllable via keyboard and mouse. Players could use a gamepad in battles, but not for selecting bonuses, navigating menus, creating levels, or changing settings. This caused issues with playing on the Steam Deck as well.
Today, I am happy to announce that from now on, the game fully supports Steam Deck and major controllers: XBOX, PS, and Switch.
One of the main challenges was allowing players to play together on the same screen using any combination of control methods: keyboard + keyboard, gamepad + keyboard, gamepad + gamepad.
After overcoming technical difficulties, Askold succeeded in enabling two players to play together without worrying about controller compatibility.
Enjoy the Demo!
