Coilworks and Rising Star Games have confirmed some pretty amazing news for Cloudbuilt players – controller support has been made available for the shooter/platformer.
A representative from Rising Star Games took to the game’s official blog via Steam to talk about the development of controller support for the title:
“During the development of Cloudbuilt, a lot of thought was put into adding controller support. On the one hand, Cloudbuilt is — at its heart — a fast-paced speed-running platform that requires precision and quick reflexes, making it ideally suited for keyboard and mouse controls. On the other though … well, people want controller support. We had to come to a decision.
Ultimately then, what’s been implemented has worked out great. The game now not only plays with all of the controllers supported by Steam, but plays really well — Coilworks have re-worked the button mapping and even added a ‘quick turn’ button to help with those tricky wall jumps. All told, it’s a great way to enjoy the game and adds yet another layer of skill to the action, even if it’s not quite how everyone originally saw Cloudbuilt being played.”
Cloudbuilt is also getting level remixes, which will help “focus on upgraded streamlined free-running fluidity”, and they’re also hitting the game “soon.”
