Hmm 🤔 That's strange. I was able to control and beat the demo one handedly just fine on my laptop using a QWERTY keyboard. Character control was fine using that...

Are you using something other than intended or were you just having difficulty figuring out the controls?... Just trying to help. Honest question.

"Why" were you having trouble with your character moves? Knowing at least that information might possibly help the developer out. That way she can understand what's wrong and possibly do something about it if need be. Making the game seem more playable to people with the same problem like you in a future update...
Giving more detail and elaborating about the problem you're having goes a long way in feedback to support the development of a game. By all means please specify. The developers nice enough. I'm sure she will read your feedback and take it into consideration if you do.

As for controls for the game. Using a keyboard they are as follows:

SINHER CONTROLS (qwerty Keyboard)

Pause the game: [P]
Movement:   [A] - left
  [W] - up
  [S] - down
  [D] - right
Jump: Spacebar
Interact/ use:   [E]
Attack:   [Alt] or [F]
Up attack: Attack + [W]
Down attack: Attack + [S]
Parry: [Shift] or [C]
Toggle inventory: [I]
Blow kiss/ Taunt?: [G] (Requires Hearts)
Back to main Menu: [backspace]

Note - Using backspace does not save game progress...

Maybe the game just needs a controller manual as soon as you break out of the egg... Press [P] in game for controls.
I did what I could with your very small feedback provided.

Hope this helps...

Controller

the character is always crouching, you have to go "up" to walk, to go "up" to strike, to go "up" to move, to go "up" to parry".

I can't even pass the parry sequence of the tutorial.

My keyboard is azerty, ther's no way I can use wasd.

Why the hell many developers don't implement arrow keys ?

arrow keys are always at the same place, whaterver keyboard you're using

Ah, I had a feeling it was something like that. That's why I mentioned the qwerty keyboard.

And, yeah, unfortunately the controller as well seems bugged out at this time as it appears to be. Laslyon reported the same problem in an earlier comment. Hopefully it will be addressed in a future update. Thanks for leaving more detailed feedback about the inconvenience you are having though. I'm sure the dev will appreciate it and it will possibly help improve the game in the future. Can't say for sure though lol. I'm just a drifter that decided to check back here every once and a while. I just like this developer and game. Maybe Ellise will chime in when she gets a chance to give her input on other keyboard types. Sorry I couldn't help. At least I tried... Hope you get to play in the future though. I think it's a cute little gem of a platformer in the making. ^_^

Thanks for chiming in! Much appreciated to be honest.

Cheers! ♥

^_^ You're very welcome. "Always happy to help" ♥

I figured you must have been busy so I did what I could until you got back to see your messages here. I just like to help sometimes. I tried lol. You got this. I'm sure I'll be here from time to time. Cheers!

Arrow keys are something I simply didn't think was necessary, but I see that I was wrong about that and will look to implement movement using those keys as well.

I'm sorry you're having issues with the controller as well. It's really strange that it happens to some people since the controllers and computers I've personally tested the game out with worked fine.

For the next update I'm working on adjusting the controller code so that people whose controllers wouldn't be recognized at all should work, the crouching however is something I'm quite at a loss about though as of now.

What kind of controller are you using if you don't mind me asking?

Xbox Controller.

I may be wrong but I believe that problem wouldn't happen if we had to use the cross-shaped directional device on the controller.

So you wouldn't have to add a way to set the controller analogic directional sensitivity.

ElliseArt2 years ago(+1)

Hm, an Xbox controller is what I use too.

The d-pad is already coded to work, but I understand when the character is constantly pushing to one direction it's just as difficult to play using it. Luckily I think I may have figured out the issue, it seems to be related to deadzone sensitivity- or rather, a lack of one at all. (Rookie mistake, but we all gotta learn, right?)

If all goes well the major controller issues should be fixed with the next update. :)
Thank you for your patience!

Stick drift can be a real game killer... definitely sounds like the cause. Too much deadzone can also make a game unplayable. Good thinking...

A small story: I played a game on Wii U before that has the deadzone for walking set so high that if you were to play it with any 3rd party controller, it would not let you run at all or certain directions would have the same effect. It's like they made sure you had to use their brand of controller lol. That's kind of messed up... Making the game pretty much unplayable unless you had a brand new Nintendo controller. Xenosaga I believe it was. That's besides the point though. My point is as stated at the top. Analog sticks, especially worn ones can be a real pain sometimes.

I have to agree that adding a small analog stick dead-zone should definitely fix that problem. Very logical thinking for sure. Everyone makes mistakes indeed. In fact, I have another quote for such an instance that I added to...

"Learn from your own mistakes as well as the mistakes of others to be better where we can be."

And I would say you've done just that Ellise. ^_^ Good on you! Just trying to give praise where praise is due. Hope you don't mind. Have a Great Day!
