This is a relatively big update, the game itself has not changed but a new alternative control scheme has been added which should make it easier to play (assuming you have a compatible controller), in addition, the new version of Oricutron should help with some of the keyboard issues and the ugly status bar is finally gone!
The game has been tested on Steam Deck and is working nicely, the documentation will have to be updated to reflect the changes but before that happens I need a few of you to actually try the game on Steam Deck and report if it works well for you!
The way it works is simple (assuming you are using the layout I defined):
- Use any of the directional controls (dpad, analog sticks, touch pads) to move in the four directions
- Use the diagonals to move up and down (on stairs, ladders and ropes)
- Pressing the A button shows a selection menu for the commands and items and you just need to use the directional controls to move around and A again to select the option you want.
And that's about it really!
I would really appreciate if any issue/regression is reported so I can address them, and if you liked the game, please give a review on the main page, it's always good for the motivation.
Thanks in advance!
