Yes! Finally, haha.
Thanks a lot for the feedback - I'll see about resolving a lot of this QoL stuff in the next update.
You can use the D-pad on any controller, you just have to bind it - I suppose that's a pain, so I'll look into resolving that, too.
Auto-polling the controller isn't possible, unfortunately - you'll have to have it plugged in from the start if you want to use a controller. I could look into it again, though - it's been awhile since I last checked to ensure that it doesn't work (I believe it's supposed to with the framework I'm using).
The door pausing is intentional, but if it feels sloppy, I can clean it up and make it shorter - there's no reason for it to be there apart from aesthetics.
Thanks for playing and being so patient so far!
