2 players with a keyboard
My nephew and niece play a lot this game and I will like to join locally but we have only one gamepad. Is there any way to play 2 players in different key settings in the keyboard?

Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately, we do not support two users on one keyboard in the game. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hey, old thread, but anyway. It's possible with the tool from link above:
https://github.com/mikew/xarcade-xinput

Follow the instruction and you might get it to work:

Create VIRTUAL GAMEPAD for Player 1:
------------------------------------------------
1. Download the latest release from https://github.com/mikew/xarcade-xinput
2. Double-click Install Driver.exe.
3. Run XArcade XInput.exe( As administrator, it's important) .

If everything is ok you will be able to navigate to http://localhost:32123/ and see list of available virtual gamepads that you can turn on/off. Also there is edit option where you can edit your keyboard->gamepad keys binding.

4. Test in the HTML5 Gamepad Tester https://html5gamepad.com/ - should say that you have active gamepad now.

After those actions Player 1 will be determineted as gamepad user.

Bind Player 2 keys in game options.
-----------------------------------------------
Player will use actual KEYBOARD to play the game. So what you have to do there is to rebind keys for Player 2 in game options, because probably some of keys from KEYBOARD will be crossed with keys from VIRTAUL GAMEPAD.

WARNING: After you start xarcade application it will blocks your usual usage of keyboard, so if you need to turn it off it temporary, go to http://localhost:32123/ and stop gamepad server.

That's it. Should work now :)

Hi ! I have a problem about the "Bind Player 2 keys in game options.". When I activate the virtual gamepad, I can't use my keyboard and vice versa. So we can't play simultaneously with my brother. Have you a solution ? And how we can change key with the virtual gamepad ?
