25 changes in this update

Added

5 changes
  • Full controller support

  • On-screen button glyphs, with XBOX / PLAYSTATION toggle

  • Automatic device detection, with a short on-screen notice when you switch between pad and keyboard

  • The tutorial now teaches both control schemes

  • The saucer boss now collides with asteroids, shattering rocks it flies into and taking damage from them

Improved

5 changes
  • Pad layout

  • Menus are navigated with the D-pad, cross / A confirms, circle / B goes back

  • Volume sliders can be adjusted with left and right on a controller

  • Level-up upgrades are chosen with the stick or D-pad and taken with cross / A

  • The menu highlight remembers where you were on each screen, so leaving a sub-menu and coming back puts you where you left off

Fixed

11 changes
  • Joined co-op players heard no sound at all: shooting, explosions, pickups, level-ups and warnings were completely silent

  • Bullets and asteroids stuttered for joined co-op players and did not travel in straight lines

  • The level-up screen could instantly pick a random upgrade, because fire and confirm share a button

  • The ship fired a shot the moment a run started, carried over from the button press that started it

  • The menu select sound played twice on a single press

  • A single button press could act twice, once on the menu highlight and once wherever the cursor happened to be

  • The screen kept shaking for the whole level-up screen instead of settling

  • Circle / B did not leave the Shop, though it worked on every other screen

  • The device notice overlapped the version number in the menu and the quest line in-game

  • The BUTTONS row was cut off at the bottom edge of the screen

  • The confirm glyph could be drawn on top of a neighbouring button

Removed

1 change
  • Battle Royale is temporarily closed while co-op is stabilised

Known Issues

3 changes
  • Battle Royale is unavailable in this build

  • If your controller does nothing, set this game's Steam controller layout to Gamepad rather than Keyboard (WASD) and Mouse

  • The left stick also moves the mouse cursor in menus, so menus are navigated with the D-pad
