Man, I wish I could play this, but my nintendo pro controller doesn't seem to work (keeps registering the shoulder buttons as pressed so it forces a failure). Judging from the gifs and screenshots, this game looks awesome, so I thought I'd leave a comment to say that even if I cant rate it in good conscience. I think you could theoretically put this on keyboard, it'd just be real unconventional, like wasd and pl;', for movement, then lshift and rshift for shoulder buttons. Aside from that, the game looks great, and I hope to eventually see a version I can play with what I have!

Bummer!! I never tried a pro controller :/ Unfortunately, I don't think a keyboard would work. It really needs the analog input from sticks in order to work.
You could try it in triggerless mode, so the only objective is to pass through gates and tubes 😉 Check the gameplay options if you're curious. But otherwise, I totally understand and I appreciate your comment nonetheless!
I tried that unfortunately, and I just tried god mode. The particles get seizures since I guess it doesn't take the analog input from the pro controller well, and for some reason triggerless without god mode still fails me. Oh well! God mode made me able to listen to the music, which I can confirm is also great. I definitely agree that controller is optimal, but for situations such as these, my outsider, consumer opinion is that it doesn't hurt to have a keyboard option, even if it's not as clean, then have a "Controller strongly recommended" or "Meant for controller" display during an intro. Still, great job on this!
