Yeah, a lack of controller support isn't an issue since, as I've stated in this very thread, I can confirm the game supports controllers (I use one with 0 issues and, I'm fairly certain Choctopus himself does, too)
My guy, it literally does. Dunno what's going on that's stopping your controller from working, but that doesn't change the fact the game DOES have controller support. Maybe try another controller or smth?
