Bummer!! I never tried a pro controller :/ Unfortunately, I don't think a keyboard would work. It really needs the analog input from sticks in order to work.
You could try it in triggerless mode, so the only objective is to pass through gates and tubes 😉 Check the gameplay options if you're curious. But otherwise, I totally understand and I appreciate your comment nonetheless!

I tried that unfortunately, and I just tried god mode. The particles get seizures since I guess it doesn't take the analog input from the pro controller well, and for some reason triggerless without god mode still fails me. Oh well! God mode made me able to listen to the music, which I can confirm is also great. I definitely agree that controller is optimal, but for situations such as these, my outsider, consumer opinion is that it doesn't hurt to have a keyboard option, even if it's not as clean, then have a "Controller strongly recommended" or "Meant for controller" display during an intro. Still, great job on this!
