addedController support builds on the keyboard support that was added in the last update. On Windows, joypads using either DirectInput or Xinput can be connected, which should cover most common controllers. You'll still need the mouse in rare cases, but this should make playing the game more comfortable if you have a joypad lying around!
addedFor Steam players, aside from adding achievements for just the two new illusions, there are some completely fresh achievements too—but they don't have any descriptions, so you'll need to guess what exactly you'll need to do! Good luck figuring these out.

The Cornsweet illusion is a neat trick to create illusory contrast between colors. Except for one of the colors, of course! The monochrome rainbow falls apart once the black & white lines separating them disappear!
Secondly, we have the flash lag illusion! If an object is constantly moving, and an object flashes in and out next of it, you'll see that flash in an entirely different spot from where it actually turned up! Various variations of this effect are explored in the game.
