god just went back to try 2.50 after playing 2.35, like the game, despise the controls, why is jump z, does anyone know how to edit the controls to correct that stupidity. also got to love that esc just flat out closes the games with no are you sure, do you know how many games use esc to open a menu? More than the enemies I feel like I'm fighting my instincts of what controls should do.
Ok you know what no, my rule of tumb for games, If Im having to fight the controls to the point that they are frustrating the game isnt worth playing. Dev just map the controls in a sane manner, put jump on space, put dodge on left ctrl or left shift. Using A and Z is just mental. the basic controls of being A Z C and S means you cant have your fingers on the buttons comfortably. look at your hand, its not a square shape its a line, even A S D F or Z X C V would be far better. I cant wrap my head around why you would chose these buttons as your controls, you clearly put a lot of love into this game and project, why wouldn't you think about that control placement? That there are charge attacks just makes it even worse as you have to hold X and dodge attacks with A or Z. A options to change controls would be great, but even without that simply changing them to more standard controls would fix this. Now if you'll excuse me ill be digging through the files and trying to find were you set the controls so i can manually change them, as that is less frustrating than playing the game is.
So second edit, it looks like this is meant to be played with a controller I think, controls are slightly better. on a xbox controller jump is A, X is attack, RB is throw and dodge is RT, these are odd but workable. In menus A is accept, but X is back for some reason. a few other buttons like Y are used for masterbating. for the most part these are ok, though would move the dodge to the LB or LT and have both attack on the RB and RT vs having the main one on X. if the reason X is back in menus is it has to be the same as the main attack then move it to B, it make about as much sense of a main attack and way more for back in menus. As is ive just edited my controller inputs to swap B and X to make the controls bearable.
