Hi! First of all - I really like the game so far! Very nicely done, mad respect.

I’ve got an issue with gamepad controls: if I press “left” or “up” on it the game continues to work through that input even after I released the button, so essentially that directions are being held down indefinitely. All the other buttons work just fine. I’ve tested the gamepad with KDE Settings -> Input Devices -> Game Controller and all the buttons work properly there (and other games).

The controller is Retro-bit SEGA Saturn USB one.

Can provide any other additional info you need! Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot for trying the game out and for the input and support!

I'll be taking a look at the issue and if I can't reproduce it I'll hit you up to see if we can get more specific info!

Also, I hope you are doing well bsan!

I'm back, I've been trying to reproduce this bug with a couple of controllers I have lying around, these being the switch pro controller, an arcade controller and a knock off playstation controller and I can't seem to get the bug to work.

I'm testing it in Linux Mint, what distro are you using? And also, do you have any other controllers you could test it with?

Thanks!

This is interesting! I’m using Fedora 38 KDE spin; tried xbox series controller and it works properly (except there is no “menu” button, but that’s minor :D ); and the controller in question works properly with a calibration tool and other games (mainly yabause) good, so I’m baffled.

I guess no need to try to reproduce that kind of heisenbug - I’ve moved the game to the Steamdeck and it is flawless there! Here’s a photo just in case because I still think it is super cool that a nice piece of software works ootb on a nice piece of hardware :)

Alright! Thanks a lot for testing it more.

That's a lovely photo, seeing my little game running on a handheld machine gives me a warm fuzzy feeling, so thanks a lot for sharing!
