During that time, based on your feedback and bug reports, we focused on core improvements to the game. In this dev log, we’d like to share two main areas of progress. 1. Controller Support Controller support is now almost complete. After we finish the key layout, sensitivity tuning, and vibration settings, it will be added to the demo soon.
