Great Game but I don`t like the controls!

[Adions]

Is there away to change the controls settings? For me they are quite unintuitive. One button for all sounds nice but it`s becoming unnecessary complicated.

I would expect to click in order to grab, use the Mouse Wheel to rotate Left or Right (Mouse Wheel up and dawn) and click again (or press down) to place. Something like this would be so much convenient in my opinion. Same goes also for the GamePad support.

Would be nice at least to have the option to change it.

Came looking for a thread about this, and will chip in. I think you are even being nice about it.

From a UX perspective the controls are straight up a nightmare.

Pick up a brick = Click
Place a brick = Hold

These two actions simply has to be the same movement with the mouse, it contradicts everything logical. I had the issue, and my 6 year old had major troubles with it also.

Should be:
Pick up/place brick: click or click and hold, as long as it is the exact same thing.

I hope this gets some attention, as as fix would make the game a lot smoother to play.

yeah, who thought these controls would be a good idea? omg

I agree with you guys, also who thought it was good idea to pause the game by clicking with the mouse at the top of the screen, can't move certain pieces because of this non-sense. Please fix it.

Controls on PC are so so SO unintuitive, they took it straight from iPad without giving any a f***s. I really want to like this game, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ developer if you read it, why do you disrespect PC players so much.

My daughter is 7 and it is quite frustrating to see how she is struggling also with the controls. She is playing the game with a XBOX One controller. It is really sad, because she really likes the game.

I agree with this. Mouse wheel to rotate, click to pick up and place.

It's a beautiful, beautiful game marred by ONE WEIRD DECISION.

I hope the devs will read this and just put in a simple key-rebind.

I've tried mouse input, touch input and game-controller input, and none of these three is really intuitive.

It honestly feels like it's the worst common denominator across a variety of platforms. I really think the team should work on controls a little bit more and make independent, specialised handling for Mouse/Keyboard/Touch/Controller.

agreed, moron software devs again. I mean not even giving us the freaking option to change the controls, what is this 1999? glad i got it free from epic and will aptly trash it.

What if one doesn't have a mouse with a wheel?

Firstly, replying to a 3 year old post, so thank you,

Secondly if you mouse doesn't have a wheel, you might want to get out of the 1980s. Heard it's not a great place to play games.

Also

Hold to place BUT ALSO hold to drop? WTH >.<

Also not awesome if you are replying to a 3 year old post because the original issue is still an issue.

Cool game but the default controls are painfull. Plenty UI have drag and drop but here you are forced to work other way. There are so many buttons on keyboard and even two on the mouse...
This is so counter intuitive and there are no options to configure any controls !! :(
