Hi Gum Balls,

A new update has arrived. Two features that were requested by you, A LOT. These are full controller support and button rebinding. I am happy to tell you that both of these features are now in the game! You can now change your button mapping in the settings and navigate through the menus with a controller!

These features weren't easy to implement. My Gum Ball eyes are pretty worn out. If you like the game and want to make me feel a bit more happy, please consider leaving a positive review. I would appreciate it immensely. :)

For the next big update I'll be looking into a chat system for lobbies. I can't guarantee this will be a thing until I have it set up and working. But I am feeling optimistic. Also cosmetic item sales.

Thanks for playing everyone! Keep gum balling!
