Controls not working

[henriquefabio205]

My gamepad is a GameSir T4 Pro...

No idea if this will help, but my 8BitDo Pro 2 controller doesn't work unless I have the controller on before I open the game.

Some games have this issue. My two xbox controllers don't work at all :(

The internet is full with people who don't get their controllers running. I guess the devleopers just don't care. They already took a crazy amount of money from Kickstrater that was clearly never put into their main game either.

Look up the program Joy2Key. It basically lets you map a keyboard button, to a controller button. Figure out what the keyboard controls are in game, map them to your controller, and hopefully you can play. It's not the most elegant, the devs should certainly go back and figure this out, but likely won't, so probably your best bet, aside from a new controller.

FWIW, I'm using an 8BitDo Pro 2 controller, which is my favorite game controller thus far, compatible with Switch, Linux, Windows, Android, etc.

Thank you. I know about Joy2Key. Nevertheless, if three different controllers don't work there is something wrong with the game and I really dislike the fact that the developers just don't care or even respond to the complaints.

By the way my 8BitDo doesn't work either :)

Which 8BitDo controller are you using? I use my Pro 2 in Xinput mode.

I completely agree about the game just not working and being abandoned. While this isn't an excuse for them, from a development perspective, it seems highly tied to whatever framework / engine / tools they are using. The way the game scales, handles full screen, various resolutions, etc, is kind of a mess. I suspect this is because of whatever they used to keep the game scaled properly with pixel art (a pain in the ass on modern hardware), but the issues should have been remedied regardless, or the game ported out to another setup. My guess is they outsourced this mini-game to the original, or put interns / junior devs on it - either way, it's likely the tools, without much they can do, which is why they don't. Not a defense, just an observation.

8bitdo ulimate xbox wired not working. Well, it works but i can't map dpad to movement. You really expect me to use analog in a 2d action game? :D

I had already played through the game months ago, I guess I must have used the official XBox series pad

I found a solution. I had to go into the games installation folder and delete SystemData.bin file within the exe folder. This erased my settings (but not save games) and prompted me to remap the controls.
