Quoting: liamdaweFrom what they told me before: The gamepad support just isn't ready.
Oh, ok. It's a bit confusing that they have the option in the menus.
I agree, they should remove it until they have time to fully support gamepads.

Quoting: abelthorneWhile you're in touch with the developers: any idea about gamepad support not working (when I enable it, it switches to disabled when leaving the menu)?

Someone reported it on the Steam forums for a Wii controller and an arcade stick; I'm having the same issue with a XBox 360 controller.

Quoting: CybolicIn good news for us, the mouse-wiggle issue is apparently not an issue with the Linux version; Rock Paper Shotgun mention it in their review [External Link] as well (which is presumably of the Windows version).
Ah good catch, hopefully it won't take long for a fix to appear then :)

It's missing some content atm, so it can't be launched. I've let them know, they're looking into it.

Update: This is now solved!

Update #2: The tutorial seems broken, as it won't load it just gets stuck on the loading screen. Giving them feedback on this now too.

A new partnership for some ports could be very interesting indeed. I'm both excited and worried due to their wording, but I think their "reflect on it all" is supposed to be more playful than alarming.

Quoting: GuestThis is so stupid... Just reveal it already. Or don't talk about it at all until the games are released and we can buy them. What is the point of polluting our social media with vague stuff with no solid info?
Take a look at the rest of the comments and you'll hopefully understand the point.
Some of us enjoys a good quiz. No need for you guys to post that you don't like it every single time.
It's not like the article title didn't mention the fact that it's a teaser as well, I just don't understand the downer attitude some have.
