Save game backups

When the game saves, it automatically creates a back up of your previous saved game. In your saved game directory you'll find a series of back up saved game files. They're all named something like this: save_1392059033. The numbers are a time stamp of when the particular file was created. If for some reason your save file gets corrupted, you can replace your save file with one of the back ups to attempt to restore it.

To restore a saved game using one of the back ups, first make sure that the game is not currently running. You can then rename your current "save" file to something else. Then take one of your back ups (one of the save_13390510972 files) and rename that to "save" When you launch the game it should now load from your back up that was renamed to "save".

Key Remapping

Key remapping is fully supported. However, the D-pad controller for the Xbox 360 Controller does not register. According to the developer, "I was barely able to get controller support in by using AIR Extensions. Unfortunately the only extension out there for joysticks doesn't support POV switches, so no DPAD support on the 360 controller."

Controller support

If the controller support isn't working out for you though, then I still recommend using a Joystick to Keyboard conversion program to play the game with a controller. If you're using Windows, you can use Joy2Key and set up a controller to keyboard input. If you're on a Mac, you can use Enjoy to do the same thing.

In rare cases, the Windows version might crash because of the joystick support. This is because the joystick support for Windows is still a little shaky and I hope to improve it and make it more stable as soon as possible. If you're experiencing this crash, navigate to your save game directory (Save Data Location) and locate the controller.cfg file inside the config folder. The .cfg file should read enableController=1 If you change that to enableController=0 then the game will ignore controllers, and hopefully resolve the issue.

Joystick Failed To Initialize

If your game launches with a black screen, the game should automatically detect that the joystick has failed to initialize. This could be from a number of things, and every Windows installation and computer being slightly different might make reading your joystick impossible for the time being. If you relaunch the game, it should now work but with the controller disabled. If the game still doesn't work however, see the above instructions on how to manually disable the controller.
