Controller: Come on, make it happen!

[Peetrpan]

I use a controller sometimes. The casual nature of this game is demanding a controller!

sorry to necro this thread... just played this game the other day on my friend's account.
Couldn't believe there was no controller support, OR multiplayer!!
After some googling I think I found out they are releasing a multiplayer version... only for apple?!
pleased that i did not waste my money on this one

REally, what about controller support. It would be nicer to play with controller

[Loaderini]

Yes controller support would be nice!

[Kinojgh]

would be perfect

[Piotrek]

Still no support for gamepad :/ Why I can't even change controls in options?

[Abyss_Walker]

Holy crap still no controller???? :( Was interested in getting this....

I don't think this game is being actively developed anymore, so don't hold your breath for controller support.

[GroinReaper]

Is there a way to avoid the menu when clicking on ourself?

[KittenCanaveral]

I was able to use joystick mapper and it has worked out well. I was a little sad to see that it did not have native controller support like solar 2.

I don't know how you would even play this game with a controller. Even an analog stick wouldn't have the accuracy needed

The analogs are very accurate, and fast, I would wager that it may even be faster then the mouse.

OSMOS is an awesome game and at first I thought that touchscreen (samsung galaxy) would be the most responsive and intuitive input method for precisely angled protoplasm vectoring/launching (or whatever it's called).

I just now considered getting it for my PC and led me to this thread when I found out there was no gamepad/analog stick support.

If you think about it mouse is not intuitive to chase the mote and hit upon the correct spot with the cursor to get the best angle launch. An analog stick would be perfect. The center of the stick being the visual representation of the mote and the direction of the stick tap would launch your protoplasm. Hand eye coordination would easily make that feel natural even if after a bit of getting used to.

Not sure how many points of direction around the 360 degree of the mote there are in the touchscreen version, but the analog stick could easily have just as many or more.

The stick would be an awesome input method. Too Bad.

It seems to me that a controller would not be accurate enough. In some cases you want to hit another mote with the ejections from your mote, and that seems to be difficult with a controller. It is possible that I am wrong, of course, but it seems to be difficult to control with a standard controller.

Damn, I have this on my phone and saw it was on Steam. I almost pulled the trigger, but saw the no controller thing at the last second.

Some games are better with different controls, but this is a no brainer for controller support. This is a sit back and chill game, one you can take your time over.

TLDR - No controller - no buy.

Yes I feel the same way, if it were not for it being in a bundle I would not have it myself I would recomend posting in the deveopers fourms and let them know haw you feel.
I am glad it did not take to long to map it out on joystick mapper, but I would prefer not to have to use a 3rd party app.
