It took a lot of tuning, but Cloudbase Prime is working well with controllers now! Even Switch joycons, if you pair both of them! Since you look up and down a LOT in this game, there are dedicated buttons to snap your look down/forward/up.
A note on Steam controllers: I'm curious about your feedback here! Steam controllers emulate Xbox 360 controllers when possible! I do support that, but you're missing out on a good few Steam controller features then. You may want to use them in "mouse and keyboard" mode instead.
There are a good deal of other changes in here, too. A pile of bug fixes, an easier food chain mode, and a pretty cursor for menus.
Full change notes:
Added/changed:
Controller support!
New options menu (now controller-friendly)
Added hint text on how to throw balls and detach from grabbed terrain
Updated look bindings, they can now be customized. I tried to keep mouse sensitivity identical: tell me if I didn't!
Added snap look controls: up, down, forward. Only bound on controllers by default.
Reload/interact are now the same binding
You can now throw held items by hitting interact a second time.
New cursor for menus
Food Chain mode is now easier: collector has more HP, enemy factory stays vulnerable longer.
Improved control help text in 1-intro: better text, colored control bindings.
Added move help text to 1-intro.
Lowered fall death height on all levels in zone 5.
You can't change the direction of the architect while your hands are busy any more (caused animation bugs, confused people).
Exiting the end credits now requires you to press a specific button.
Fixed:
Improved corrupt save file handling, automatic loading of backups on failure.
Exit cannon can no longer be disabled by enemy terrain destruction
Fixbot voices are now consistently affected by the "voice" volume setting.
6-boss no longer becomes harder the more you die... sorry about that.
Fixed duplicated subtitles, hand animation bugs in 5-intro.
Enemy shield repulsor is no longer active during 5-boss's intro cutscene.
Fixed Atlas's voice lines being too quiet in the intro to 6-boss.
Fixed 5-1's starting checkpoint not consistently respawning the player.
5-1's food chain stuff no longer shows up outside of food chain mode.
Your shift on a gas giant mining platform does not go as planned. Move terrain to clear paths, defeat enemies, and launch yourself skyward. Shoot robots while jumping. A decent Monday.
Find new weapons and powers for your robot suit as you descend into the colorful clouds of Cloudbase Prime. Discover robots of varying danger, fight giant bosses, and swim in huge floating jellyfish. Learn to tolerate the plural form of "jellyfish".
