Please Fix the Controller Support

[Jhaymes]

The game detects my wired 360 pad and defaults all the controls to it except for movement, which I can use on either the keyboard or pad. Exit, restart, burst, they're all on the gamepad. I'd rather use my pad but the movement is slippery, like gaming on ice, and without being able to set the dead zone sometimes I go flying to the left because my stick is a bit worn. It wouldn't be a problem if the plus pad works, but the game simply doesn't know it exists.

Any chance of a fix? I really like what I've been able to see, but without decent control the whole thing is maddening.

I'll add d-pad support as soon as I can. Sorry that you had the issue.

The d-pad is supported now -- it works essentially like arrow keys/WASD. Please tell me if you have any gripes with it.

That works great and the game is much more fun now, thanks. I cleared the first world and made it to the desert. :)

Next up- any idea why there's only the one score showing on the leaderboard?

You have to complete the game to get your score to show up at the leaderboards. Since score can vary ( up and down ) during gameplay score is uploaded only when game is complete. Once you complete the game score is on the leaderboard. If you play "safe" and complete the game without taking risks your score can be as low as just couple of points ( and will be on the leaderboard ). If the play is all greedy trying to collect as many points as possible and eliminate as many enemies as possible then the score can be in the millions, i.e. the skill level is awarded ... with higher place at the leaderboard.
Completing the game unlock new ships with somewhat "better" (a bit different to say ) weapons ( bullet patterns ).
A run through the whole game can take about 30min ( that's how much it took me ) but with now I have new ship which should give me chance for even better score. It seems I do get alot re-playable value.
One of the achievements is to reach 5 000 000 ( 5Mil ) points. I dont know what "beast" mode player can be in to get to that score :)

Like agent said, scores aren't submitted until a run is completed. I'll try to make that more clear in-game.

It's been done. There is now a message that shows up while the leaderboard is loading that informs of the requirement. If you have a fast connection, it doesn't show up for long, so I'll work on that soon. Thanks for the feedback.
