I have a third party Xbox controller and jump is on A and Y both. You're sure there aren't any Steam Input Desktop Layout shenanigans going? Otherwise could be some error in the Xbox Series driver.

I had an actual BLAST finishing this, and I cannot wait for more. Hopefully this isn't too much but I have a couple notes and suggestions:
I do think the text and textboxes don't mesh well with the art style? Also, Noob1's control scheme doesn't swap the save and restore menu (where A would be on a Nintendo controller, or how circle would select on Japanese Playstations). I'd really like a fully customizable control scheme in the full release.
Also, take a cue from NieR: Automata and have the lock-on be a chip that can be installed or removed! That'd add an awesome risk/reward mechanic.
EDIT: also I think being able to activate slide while dashing rather than while sprinting will make the move more useful. Perhaps it was just the version I played but the slide was for some reason really difficult to pull off?
Otherwise? Great. Seriously, I am so psyched for a full release, this might be the one indie game I'm more hyped for than any other.
I had accidentally left that machine in and had already uploaded! TBH I had no idea what to do with it, at some point I think I had the idea to use it as a screen clearer at the cost of some shield but at the 47th hour, it was not getting implemented XD I think what might have happened was the mouse was on screen, the mouse can also navigate the menu. Perhaps it would be cleaner if only the arrow keys move the menu? It is something to consider! Thank you for playing!
Interesting take on like, a pong style game. Would have been more interesting if there was something other than just the player to defend? The jam version saw me huddled in a corner and I was practically unkillable then. Or perhaps a snake-like system where collectables spawn on screen to encourage the player to move? Or enemies that knock the player around, or spike traps in the corners.
In any case, nicely done.
