Thank you for your feedback.
And I am sorry I seemed vague, but actually we were working non stop on the game to release an hotfix, which we released just now, I would like for you to try it out one more time, as the cursor is not killed anymore, and it should resolve any issues you have encountered.
To justify our choices, it was because we were actually thinking of making an hybrid system that could work both on joypad and on mouse.
This probably too ambitious feature, combined with the fact that this was developed for a jam and we only had 2 weeks to work on it, as well as us in the team becoming accostumated to it, made us overlook this core system of the game, and we are sorry for the inconvenience.
I sincerely hope this update will solve all the issues you have encountered!
