Not playable without controller?

[JelleB101]

Don't know if it's intended but I can't play without a controller and as far as I know it's not mentioned on the store page.

I got stuck on a screen that is telling me to reconnect the controller to be able to play.

:(

Seems like they need to update the store page.

If you're adamant about using a keyboard however, there's an option for you. You can use a Virtual Xbox Controller.

The main tool that I'm aware of is called Keyboard Splitter (https://github.com/djlastnight/KeyboardSplitterXbox/releases). You basically create a virtual controller that's mapped to a set of keys on your keyboard.

Thank you very much for this info Pahiro! :)

I'm the older brother from JelleB101 btw and I started this discussion. I also have an Xbox controller should he want and need one but I'll wait and see what happens with the game first.

I just noticed they updated the languages to and it should be Dutch spoken now what's VERY good news for him! :D

Anyway, thank you again for your help and usefull tip! ;)

You can also get this refunded after the grace period, since not only does it lack Steam's usual "only playable with a controller" warning, a controller is also not mentioned in the system requirements.

It would probably be the best thing to do, because a publisher that is this lazy with a console-to-PC port does not deserve to make any money from it.

PS. I couldn't get KeyboardSplitter working but got x360ce working just fine. (https://www.x360ce.com/).

I dont know how you are going to manage some QTE sequence with a keyboard. I just had to help the kids manage to rotate the joystick like crazy (Stella's tornado) to solve the 4th or 5th adventure...how would you do this with keyboard ??
What is totally missleading is the coop aspect of the game, that I really wanted for my twins kids to avoid one of them being angree while the other was playing especially that the levels are longer than the 1st game that they loved but have no clue if and where one can play other than solo on PC. Shame again for the coop and multiplayer badge

it is possible to play 2 co op : just hit the start button on the second joypad when it s time for the other puppy to do an action (in stead of switching from one puppy to the other)
