Almost all text is rather small. Not a great game for a small screen, but probably not a big deal to those who know the game/interface
I may come back to this if I feel like learning the game on desktop. There's a community controller config available, but I didn't ty it.
No sound
Be wary of default buttons, I accidentally hit the restart button a few times. Maybe remap that one?
this game is too hard for me...i suck at it
As mentioned in other review, fullscreen stretches vertically. I didn't find this to be an issue.
changed dpad to WSAD (I'm too twitchy for the joystick)
I installed the game from Epic Store through Junk Store decky plugin (uses Legendary in the background). I'm not sure if it applies fixes or anything...
No controller support
switched to XNA beta
No music. SFX were fine.
Need to use XNA beta or it won't even launch
fullscreen and resolution need to be set manually
gamepad controls are slightly awkward, but I didn't bother changing them (during tutorials, I had to look at controller settings)
Online mods don't work anymore. You can download some from their website (check discussions, deck browser has no select/copy 🙄). Game runs better on linux than it did last time I tried on windows.
I kept having to remember which controls do what. Mild inconvenience, would likely go away after a while (I'm npot used to playing with controller)
Nice music, too
Does not support remapping. I've switched my controls system-wide to nintendo layout, and this breaks arrow mapping; the abxy buttons are used as a (necessary) second dpad.
- I could remap them but then they wouldn't work properly in menus.
- I can use the joystick, but I have a tendency to twitch it just far enough to go diagonal; for games that dont use diagonals this frequently gets detected as vertical instead of horizontal, or vice versa (I have tics, but this usually isn't an issue, right stick is usually used for camera or movement)
This "game" is bad. Hopefully I got it in a bundle, because nobody should have to pay for this...
i used a community layout for gyro control, but mostly used the stick. Is this supposed to be this easy?
The ridge 1 was purple underneath
could not use touchscreen (unintuitive, but also inaccurate; taps should go to existing nearby element if <1 spot away, not the exact place tapped), it was extremely annoying to be forced into using the gamepad
I didn't play past the ridge 1, the game gets too hard for my lazy brain
Managed to get it working once, accidentally deleted it and couldn't figure it out again :(
I think maybe the menu doesn't work with gamepad? The default layout certainly doesn't work with menus. I had to map dpad to arrow keys and use awkward steam+left for enter.
Problems getting the setup menu to recognize gamepad buttons.
The cmmunity layout mentioned in other review doesn't exist.
Gamepad support is only detected if the game launches with it selected. If you then accidentally switch to kb/mouse, you have to reset the game to switch back.
ignore my other review (I had read the other review and started with KB/M previously)
Used 8W average on deck at max settings, according to Decky battery tracker. 60fps all the way. Now I'm off to find some mods...
Defaults to wrong resolution, but opens to graphics settings, so that's easy to fix.
There's an option in settings to hide the "courser" if you're only using the controller.
steam deck widescreen is crap for vertical scrolling bullet hell...
all sound disappears if I open overlay (decky auto-suspend may be the issue here)
the camera controls can get stuck sometimes
I didnt have any stuttering issues
There is no native version available. Disabling proton simply deletes the files. Attempting to download the linux depot manually with DepotDownloader returns a 401, even when authenticated with an account that owns it.
custom with mostly random keyboard keys for various buttons, then mapped in-game
Does not run without GE.
I suck at racing games.
remapped buttons in-game
this game is hard...
font choice issue, not text size
joysticks as dpad
Native version is borked.
Better with a big creen. For a port of a mobile game, the diamonds some monsters drop are awfully tiny. Recommend using mouse for those.
Defauls to keyboard controls, controller works in menu but need to switch to controller for it to work in levels...
The first level ater tutorial is impossible. Broken by design.
- Back buttons for quick access to mods
- Left trackpad as mod menu
I installed too many mods and the game crashed while using tractor. Maybe I shpuld play properly.
Rant: Nexus mods is a garbage fire, I don't want/need another account, and they won't let me register with my primary email (using my own domain)
Epic Games version installed via Junk Store, played fine. I don't recall setting a proton version, but 9.0-4 was selected
Everything is tiny
Small text size made it hard to use joystick mouse emulation, needed to use touchscreen. Recommend external display if on deck.
tapping the screen changes controls back to keyboard & mouse. If you use both touchscreen and controller buttons, it males thigs annoying (e.g. if you tap an item to craft, you can't change quantity with controller, you need to use the touchscreen)
If necessary, you can increase the size of some text by going to settings -> game -> accessibility. I didn't feel the need, but it might help.
random. Once you reassign binds, you can't reset amd can't assign the left mouse btton to anything
Cannot navigate menu with anything except mouse input. Evenwith dpad mapped to arrows it was impossible.
No controller support. Recommend using a custom controller mapping with the default key layout rather than changing any settings.
The tutorial is unhelpful in that it tells you default keybinds, not current settings.
