Reticle

Is there a reticle I can turn on in this version for mouse use? I saw an old video of the Steam version with a reticle. Going through the log I think it may have been removed for balance.

Fun game!

Hey thanks! Thanks for playing.

Yeah, your detective work is good! The mouse controls used to be point and click with a reticle.  I know that sounds intuitively better but it resulted in a strange phenomenon where certain enemies where considerably easier to defeat and other where more difficult depending on whether you used the mouse or the gamepad. That made it impossible to gave the game a reasonable difficulty ramp for all players, so I opted to have the mouse do its best to simulate the gamepad, which is the primary why I intended the game to be played.

You might be able to dig up an old version out of the devlog... not sure... 

Thanks for the reply. With a reticle it would be much easier with a mouse than with a controller but I don't mind how it is now. More challenging which is good. This version might work well with an arcade spinner controller, I've been meaning to build one from my old mouse.

That I would love to see!
