I don't think gamepad is supported. A lot of people said keyboard is better for this game. There is a thread on Steam forums for controller support I think.

This game is effing amazing. Level design is brilliant. And I am loving every bit of the soundtrack. I got it from here: Indie Music Bundle.

You may use key binding emulator.

Yeah that is possible, but this one is better with arrow keys.

Terry Cavanagh made a brilliant game and Magnus Palsson made a brilliant soundtrack. Pushing Onwards and Positive Force are always playing in my head.

Yeah, I agree. I don't usually play indie games but this one got me hooked.

You kind of need decent precision skills for this game which I think gets harder if you use a gamepad.

^^ not really. Super Meat Boy would disagree with you regarding gamepads being harder for precise movement. :p

Gamepad won't make a difference in this game as you are using only 3 keys. I just wanted to site back and play in a relaxed way. :p

Palm resting positions, comfortability and not smacking that gamepad after 100 retries, etc. etc. ;)

Agreed. My favourite is Potential For Anything.

Awesome game btw. Only drawback it's way too short.

Well each level has something unique. No repetitive levels. Better that than long repetitive gameplay.

played a bit of this game today. One thing is sure just from the beginning is that the difficulty of this game is quite very high.

The game is quite forgiving though, checkpoints are frequent.

Stuck in a place. If I go down the guy goes down 2 screens and falls in a ditch like pit. No where to go. Dead end.

Our man just receives the coordinates of the captain I think and his place pops up in the map. Around 10 minutes after start. Will post screen shot tommorow. At phone now.

Pretty sure this one.

It's tricky but you should not be stuck here. The rest of the game is a LOT harder than this.

Yes Liverpool fan. Exactly this one. Where to go. Always end up closing the game. Has to be somewhere in the next screen below? I mean 2nd one. Not the third one below.

Go down and back up, the bottom is safe if you reach it. Be careful while doing it use repeated keypresses rather than holding the cursor key.
thetechfreak
Dec 28, 2011 at 10:12 PM
Ok. But trouble is I unknowingly press the up key when I reach the bottom.
Game gets more difficult? :O I was just getting started playing.

Haha you'll get used to it. Then you'll do things the hard way. ;)

You'll have to press to up/V/space key to go back up as well. It's round trip to get to the checkpoint in the right.

That following guy is annoying though. As if getting across was not hard enough, we have to get him there too. :x

Yeah took a lot of deaths for me to clear that.Just get to the bottom-right platform and do two quick flips with accurate timing to get your companion to the moving platform. That has to be done thrice. :p

Happened to me too. Succeeded later.
BTW your companion is supposed to be female (Victoria). ;)

After LFC_Fan's advice got through that quite easily :p

Now I think I have reached the hard part. Will post updates once I get stuck again.
