changedWhen I released this game two years ago, I never expected controller support to be the most requested feature (since it’s a shooter for PC and all), but here it is—it’s finally in the game! Please let me know how it works for you. I had some people playtest it here in Berlin at Games Ground last month, and the feedback was generally positive.
addedAnother requested feature that’s now included in this update is scorekeeping . Whenever you finish a run, you’ll now see your previous best results (from this point onward—unfortunately, stats from runs before the update can't be retrieved). Additionally, you’ll now have the option to restart the level directly without needing to return to the menu.
addedAs for the content update: yes, I’m working on it! Finalizing the controller support took much longer than I anticipated, but I’m still aiming to release the new level in time for Christmas. Fingers crossed! 🎅
