Hey everyone —
This update focuses on making Bavovna Included! play properly with a gamepad, including on Steam Deck.
A player reported that menus looked fine on Deck, but there was no working confirm/select binding — so pressing A did nothing. That pointed to a broader controller/UI input issue, especially in exported builds and under Steam Input.
What’s fixed / improved
Gamepad UI navigation — confirm, cancel, and menu movement should work as expected (including A to select)
Main menu & upgrades — clearer focus, controller-friendly upgrade placement/removal, and focus restored to the button you came from when you press Back
Cursor behavior with a controller — less cursor interference while navigating UI with a pad
Steam Deck / Steam Input reliability — better handling so the game reads the controller instead of fighting OS/Steam mouse mapping
Thank you
Huge thanks to NoodleWrap for reporting this on Steam Deck and describing it so clearly. Messages like theirs are exactly how issues like “A does nothing” get tracked down and fixed.
If you’re on Deck or using a controller and still hit input weirdness, please leave a comment with your device + what screen it happens on — we’ll keep tightening this.
Thanks for playing, and enjoy the update.
