Mateon1: I'm not the developer, but I have had previous issues trying to make controllers work with browsers. I think controller support (as in, diversity of devices) is pretty limited, it might be better on Chrome(ium) but it's been a couple years so I don't fully remember
Re: dev response
I use an Xbox series X controller. It shows up as
045e-0b12-Microsoft Xbox Series S|X Controlleron the various testers. They all show X/Y as being swapped. Shoulder buttons seem to work fine (I think I didn't notice because the upgrade part of the shop menu is selected by default). Triggers are detected as the axes of a third joystick, but don't activate any actual button presses.I use Firefox on Linux. The controller works perfectly in steam and native games, but I think this is the first time I'm using it in a browser game, so could just be a browser bug.
developer response: thanks a lot for the detailed response. It looks like a web bug, yes. We try to give web the same level of support than Steam version, but it's sometimes difficult because of the differences. Thanks anyway for playing!
Tried out the new controller support, things seem rather wonky. A, B, and left joystick work fine, but X/Y is swapped, and triggers and buttons don't seem to work at all, can't navigate the zone part of the shop menu at all without mouse.
Using an Xbox controller FWIW
developer response: Hi, thanks for the comment! What browser did you use? Was it a XBOX One or Xbox 360 controller? It should work ok, it may be a web bug, sorry
Only complaint is that the game is too short
Can't run this game with my archaic graphic card. too bad. :/

i played for about a half hour earlier, now coming back to it, i press play and its just a blue screen :/
developer response: Hi! Thanks for the comment! We are trying to fix the bluescreen problem, sorry. We will update asap. You can fix it by removing the data on settings for now :)
i really love the game and its idea, its only problem was that the game sadly dosent run in low end devices or not so powerful computers i got bluescreened
developer response: Hi! Thanks for the comment! We are trying to fix the bluescreen problem, sorry. You can also download a desktop version that works much better from the itchio page of the game (https://delunado.itch.io/astro-prospector)
You can fix the bluescreen for now by removing the data on settings menu :)
Reminds me of Nodebuster, addition of bullet hell seems spicy! Great game.
Cursor control is absolutely horrific! I love the art, but unable to play.
so laggy!
