- Player select screen UI upgrades.
Some controllers that should now be supported are:
- Rock Candy

The local multi-player space narwhal fighting game that has rocked the internet is finally ready for its big debut in a fully loaded release!
Flop it out with 1-4 players in a retro, epic narwhal battle in space! The heart-piercing action is furious and unrelenting. STARWHAL will change your life.
Inspired by countless couch-gaming gatherings over the decades, we wanted to bring something competitive, creative, and immediately fun to the table. Our original prototype was conceived and developed in 48 hours with focus entirely on these areas. From that came the phenomenon that is STARWHAL.
STARWHAL is a simulation of dreams in an ocean of the mind.
Features:
4 player local multiplayer mayhem - 90+ costumes, 25 arenas, and 4 game modes to duke it out with friends or AI players.
32 single player Obstacle and Target challenges with leaderboards, ghost replays, and achievements.
Successfully made it through Steam Early Access, shaping the game around the feedback from fans around the world.
New radical graphic effects!
You can be a space narwhal wrapped in a burrito.
