Really fun idea, felt weird that it was controller only I would have loved to use my mouse for this game or maybe you can and I am just dumb.
Hey! Sorry, maybe the controls are set to controller by default, I'll update that.
But yes you can play it with keyboard/mouse, just navigate to Options -> Controls and select Mouse with the X key. That should enable Mouse controls :)
Cheers!
any plans for releasing it also in other PC and nonPC platform than just itch?
Un gran videojuego que mezcla las plataformas y roguelike con una bonita estética retro que esconde una experiencia sumamente divertida.
