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. ^_^
