Early Access Review
10/10 great fun at parties

Don't get me wrong, this game is missing a lot of features. Worse still, they seem to take out a whole bunch of features every major update. The bauble and pudding costumes, for example, were absolutely hilarious. Now they're gone and I have a pudding-shaped hole in my heart. Just a few updates ago it seemed the combat was a lot more skill-based, too. I could pull off some ridiculously ridiculous moves, whereas now those moves don't work so it feels a bit more spammy.

That being said, I still can't get past the endearing wobbly-jelly combat and the stupidly hilarious, hilariously stupid situations you can find yourself awkwardly sandwiched between and probably stuck halfway into.

Accept this game for what it is, and you will get no end of enjoyment from it.

They do work with other games, just not with Gang Beasts. Also, that one you found in not the controller I have, mine says "Joytech" where the xbox logo would be, plus it's gray and the buttons have numbers rather than letters on them.

Do they work with other games or do they also not work on games on PC. Also, is it this controller (found this on Amazon.co.uk, not the US site) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wired-Joytech-Controller-Joypad-White/dp/B001IX8D98/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1420391878&sr=8-6&keywords=joytech+neo+controller It might be the fact its custom, and that its a slightly obscure company which seems to have been more popular during the PS2 era, and so maybe didn't make the controller have PC driver support? I dont know, it isn't a bid deal, and I am happy that that problem ha sbeen solved for you.

I was using Joytech NEO controllers and they didn't work, but I have since bought cheap xbox controllers and they work fine.

What controller are you using, I have a afterglow controller as does my brother, and we either plug one or two in, and it works just like that. We have also used a official Microsoft wireless hub thing, with a official microsoft xxbox 360 pad, and it worked fine.

No, it's a Unity game that is being updated to Unity 5.

So this was a non-Unity game ported to Unity. or...?

@askeeve "Remember, It's not that I don't like the game, in fact I love the game, but it's not in a state where it can be played to it's full extent without certain controllers."

@askeeve: It's not because the game is in early access that I gave it the thumbs down. It's that I can't play it properly. No controllers supported by InControl = no multiplayer.

@askeeve: that's why they have the "early access review" thing on their review.

"I like the game but it's in early access and isn't finished so thumb down".... makes sense...
