No Anolog Movement.

[CleverlyStoopid]

I love this game to bits but I hate that you can only move 8 directions with an anolog stick. It puts me off the game in general due to awkward maneuvering and I can't stand it. It would absolutely brighten my day if you could move in all directions with the controller and I desperately hope this can be fixed.

[Fomalhaut]

...You can?

[CleverlyStoopid]

Believe me, it doesnt work. The ship will point in the analogs direction but I swear to you, it only moves in 8 directions.

It sure wouldn't hurt to have analog for movement, but keep in mind that wouldn't really provide more accuracy, in fact it would probably be the opposite.

[CleverlyStoopid]

Dodging projectiles is a nightmare though :c

[Kaede]

Try to move as little as is required to dodge projectiles (remember the hitbox is very small), tapping if needed. More movement means more chances to bump into a bullet.
And when you do need to travel large distances, dash.

-sigh- I'll try but still.

[that's what she said]

OP's right. And it's not only 8 directions, but it's fully digital.
Tapping is okay for keyboard, but not for analog stick. The game tries to be retro, while being a twin stick shooter with bullet hell mechanics. So it's target audience are people with gamepads, and without analog movement it's not exactly comfortable to play on gamepad - it doesn't feel good and it doesn't feel fair because the game doesn't allow you to properly dodge.

I hope devs will implement proper analog movement.

Yes, that's why, if you want to play with a gamepad, you should (imho) use the D-pad and not analog.

It's not nice using the D-Pad with a twin-stick shooter though. Surely it wouldn't be a crime to impliment anolog movement into the game. Every other twin stick shooter with full controller support did it, why not this one?

I understand your concern and hope the dev will help you out, but it's not why the game can be difficult.

[CleverlyStoopid]

not primarily no. i just wish it was there.

[mako]

Guh. Yeah. I can't stand this.

If the devs have some strong opinion that shooters are easier to play with digital inputs rather than analogue, they should maybe communicate that, because if that's the case then I've been playing shooters wrong all along, and I would like to know.

analogue stick just doesn't work at all for me with an Xbox controller, the first time that's ever happened

[GameKyuubi]

still no analog oof

[henkaaa]

This ruins the whole game for a controller. Somewhat more playable with a keyboard and mouse combo.
