I can't say I had any real control over where my arrows went (and firing them itself was an issue as well), using a PS3 controller with the webgl version.

It was kind of using the D-Pad up/down would fire them into a vertical direction and the right tumb-stick would fire them horizontally.

In a twin-stick mode I'd expect the second stick to determine direction and then shooting with one of the action buttons...

Cheers Heckert - yes it's definitely trickier compared to the mouse, even with a generous dead-zone for the right stick. I was thinking about how to add alt-fire on the right stick and indeed it'll need to be in combination with a trigger or button press. So I may switch the main fire to those controls too. I guess I was using Arcade / SNES Smash TV as a reference point for how to handle the shooting.

All that said I did find the thumbstick fire a lot more visceral and feeling like there was a bit more skill involved rather than just clicking.

Come to think of it, instead of the action buttons on top of the gamepad it should be the trigger on the shoulder or a shoulder button so one wouldn't have to switch one's thumb between aiming and firing...
