Your preferred control scheme?

All the good impressions and talk of how player skill is key convinced me to get the game. Haven't actually done anything yet cause I had to go, but I did mess around with the controls and attacks on the menu screen. I love how smooth the animations are.

I did switch some key bindings around. Z to jump, X to roll, A to attack, S for spear. IMO, feels a lot easier and precise than the default scheme.

I play with a one-handed keyboard setup. WASD, attack on F and jump on Space. Always play platformers like this, somehow it feels much easier with one hand.

[Two Arms, Men!]

Arrow keys to move, D to attack, S for spear, A for roll, Z to zoom out, space to jump. I think it'd be easier if I could use my mouse buttons. WASD to move, space to jump, left click for attack, right click for spear, thumb buttons for roll and zoom out.

I used a controler. I couldn't get used to the pc controls and I've been playing a lot of dark souls so I just opted out of going keyboard. :P

Default controller scheme, only with B for spear.

I know not a massive number of people have them, but if you do, it's an absolute joy to play with an arcade stick (I'm using an aging 360 Hori stick thats fully compatable)

I am also using an arcade stick, although I am using an Injustice stick. make sure to map spear to a button, it makes it a ton easier to make throws.

Default but with Shift for spear.

Here's me feeling stupid for not realizing this.
Thanks.

default contol scheme and using xbox contoller added y for spear and b is now roll.
used xpadder to set the zoom out turbo/toggable so that pressing the left trigger once = zoomed out until you press it again

I actually use a more modern feeling layout because it is more of what I am used to:

A - Left
D - Right
W - Spear Out (Up)
Ctrl - Crouch (Down)
Space - Jump
Down Arrow - Attack (This could be anything on right side of keyboard, but I just chose this key)

I suggest a similar layout for anyone who has grown used to WASD. This one felt a lot more comfortable and natural to me, and made the game significantly easier.

By the way, devs: Love all the control options and settings in the game. Keep up the good work!

I use a Madcatz SE modded arcade stick with Sanwa parts (JLF stick with a stiffer spring and OBSF buttons).

Pretty straightforward, jump in one button and attack on the next, two fingers is all you need.
An arcade stick actually does absolutely nothing to help you in this game, but it does feel good to play if you like the feel of an arcade setup.
Personally I always use mine when I can, makes games more tactile, hitting them big buttons and hearing the stick change directions helps me get into it more.

Arrows=move
F= Jump
H=Attack
G=Throw Spear
T=Roll
Space=zoom out

This setting feels most natural to me for comboattacks etc. and also saves wasd-buttons.

I didin't changed anything personally, i think the controls were good enough as is.

You can't beat a good 360 controller, IMO.
