this is definetly the best 'out of control' game, thank you for making me happy in middle of the day for no reason. presentation might have done better but it is too fun to care about that

Developer

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!!

Developer

Hey! I saw Mark player your game on stream and he seemed to like it! Congrats!

Submitted

thank you, I was already asleep when stream started, I will watch it now

Submitted

Wait, you need a controller to play? Aw shucks.

Developer

Yeah, unfortunately.  I had an idea of how to do it with keyboard, but it came too late to implement.

Submitted

Really Original and it fits the theme well. I really liked it.

Developer

Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it!

That's a pretty unique concept!

It's a bit awkward with some setups, I have to keep directly plugging it in and out of the usb itself. It's also right next to my power button.

Developer

Thank you!  I wish there was a better way to do it, but I guess that's why no one else does it this way :) haha

Maybe having a designated button to turn off controls would be easier.

Developer

Yeah, that might have worked better.  I think I just got stuck on the unplugging controller idea.

I think this was actually a unique and original mechanic, I just think it was hindered by how long it takes my controller to reconnect after plugging it back in.  Way to think outside the box though.  Well done!

Developer

Thanks! If the reconnection time is too long I'd suggest downloading the Windows version, I found the reconnection times were less.
