Just add keyboard support will ya?

[Outsider]

How is that not a problem for Hollow Knight, Ori, Dead Cells or Bloodstained, but this game can absolutely not have that?

[Velvet's Simp]

And I think all the games you said are absolutely a horror to be played on keyboard.

Anyway, I doubt it, but the devs are doing DLC, so maybe they do something about it.

[Genolla]

Yeah I would legit never play any of those on keyboard lmao

[Outsider]

Yeah the idea of different people enjoying games differently is unthinkable.

To be fair, the entire platformer genre is basically designed around traditional gamepad-style controls. In practice, the only people who use keyboards to play platformers are PC-only gamers who refuse to buy a gamepad for ideological reasons.

But that aside, it's a little complex to set up, but you can use vJoy / CvJoyInterface / AutoHotKey together to create a virtual joystick device and map keyboard keys to it so that you can play games using a keyboard and mouse, although that's somewhat limited in capabilities since you don't have any way to replicate analog sticks or triggers.

I don't think it is possible to "enjoy" playing this game on Keyboard. Sounds much more like "Suffering through" although I haven't tried emulating my keyboard to play this.
Could actually be a disservice for the game, making people hate it, which would be a huge backfire of trying to appease a "vocal minority". I can already see it: "Wow, this game plays like ♥♥♥♥, don't buy it".

i tried ori on keyboard only. it's horrible (the arrow key + zxc one). kb/m on ori is great though. the precise angled dashes was priceless.

I honestly think you have no idea what you're talking about OP. anyway just take it from those that have played this already.

to be fair I never got to use aether dash on this game. the normal dash was good enough, and by good enough I was still dying quite a lot.

Aether Thrust is to be used offensively, it resets you Attack Line-up.

Yes I've beaten white palace in HK and Max cells runs in DC with kb and clearly have no idea what I'm talking about.
Lol.
Stop projecting your limitations and insecurities on others.
You probably don't even know what a hitbox is.
I do play hardcore 2d games on keyboard and I will never use a gamepad.

[Tyrant]

I think this game COULD support the keyboard, but perhaps explicitly not supporting it is to prevent people from trying it on keyboard and complaining about the UI not being KB&M friendly.

reWASD (paid software) does let you have a virtual gamepad bound to your keyboard, though.

[Outsider]

Just make UI KB&M friendly then? Just how lazy this developer can be?
Dead Cells works fine with KB&M.
Loopmancer works fine with KB&M.
Tower Hunter works fine with KB&M.
Damn, even Iconoclasts, a one-man game works fine with KB&M.
There is no excuse.
And I aint using 3rd party software just to fix devs' laziness.

Keyboard support already added btw

[Outsider]

Huh.
Now we're talking.
Now I can add this to wishlist.

Oh god it's a such a fun game. It does work well with just keyboard. They don't have mouse support, but that's ok. It's really not needed.

Make sure you go into config set up first to set the keys to what you feel comfortable doing. I have NO issues what so ever playing this game with keyboard.

For everyone that bawks at the idea of playing this game with keyboard. It's just silly that they could be so closed minded to it. I have played generations of Nintendo and Sega platforms and games on PC via emulation. Your only real option of playing them is with a keyboard.

Also, just like with learning how to play with a controller. It is all just button memory. That is it. Remember what button does what and pressing it at the right time. In fact, you can be far faster with a keyboard. With fast button responses, a more open palm and finger free to move anywhere. Less chances of cramps from your hand in a clinched state.

Not saying you can't enjoy playing with a controller but seriously get over your limited mindset. If the game allows for button mapping. You can totally use a keyboard and or mouse.

Honestly, the keyboard support is really bad. The default keybindings are awful, and the game only allows swapping which does what around. It doesn't display keyboard prompts, either.
