Controller menu navigation is a bit troublesome in some parts, easily fixed if you set the B button as the back button, as is standard in most games. The upgrade list, for example, requires you to scroll all the way to the bottom of the list before you can get to the back button, unless you have a mouse in arm's reach.
Edit: Oh, you literally mapped it to the Back button. At least that's a thing.
is there any way to play this with 2 players when one is on the keyboard & mouse and the other is on one gamepad? Whenever I plugged in a single gamepad, it seemed to double these controls for the same character…
The controls went by to quickly for me to catch them all at first, but I just got to experience a dash only challenge mode XD. I did manage to figure out how to play properly though, it's a fun game!
A hidden jewel! The retro aesterics has a really unique look, and the frantic action makes Nuclear Throne feel like a turn-based. Good job!
Also, I found a bug! When you select Continue after you die, and get to the "Choose Your Class", it won't accept any xBox controller input until you click somewhere with your mouse.
Thanks for that bug report too -- thought I had caught all those controller input issues, but they're easy to miss. Not sure what the timeline will be exactly, but I'll try to get that fixed next time there is a Retromancer update!
Good game. There seems to be an issue in the Upgrades section though. When I try to add any points to Speed Boost or Triple Shot instead of increasing the number/bar, the amount of points goes into the negative, like it's counting down from zero for every point I put into it. Then if I come back to the screen again and click a point in, it'll reset back to zero. Then if I try and put points in again, it starts counting into the negative again. Could this be fixed by any chance? I love the game but that is really annoying since I lost like 12k points the first time I went to the Upgrade area because of this. Thanks.
This is a fantastic game. I love the character archetypes, the settings and enemies, the pace of the gameplay, and the pretty effects when everything is exploding.

Sorry about that bug! I'll try to get it fixed up ASAP. Glad you're enjoying the game otherwise though!
