Thank You very much for being with us and giving us so much valuable feedback!
The game is constantly under development and improvement. There's still a lot ahead of us - we want to give you a great game at full launch. This is our goal
We are still working on improving the gamepad mechanics. Thank you for your feedback. We still need more time for subsequent iterations, the game was not made with the controller in mind (our mistake), but we want to do everything to make it work with it as best as we can. Most of the mechanics are already working, there are still bugs that we are fixing and we ask for your understanding and ofc feedback. We will make every effort to make it better. ːsteamhappyː
