This game supports gamepad controls, but you have to manually assign each input in the options menu ("Run" and "Cling" also act as confirm and cancel in menus - i.e. they should probably be assigned to the A and B buttons).

Once you've mapped everything in the game options, I also recommend the following adjustments to the Steam control layout, assuming you're starting from a default Gamepad template:

• Assign d-pad to the keyboard arrow keys (allows d-pad usage in menus)
• Change right stick from Joystick to Joystick Mouse, then re-assign right stick click to right stick click (the game's default joystick aiming doesn't let you aim diagonally, which the joystick mouse setting fixes).
• Change deadzone setting for left stick to Custom and make these adjustments collectively, this will make left stick movement much more responsive):
  • Deadzone range 0-88
  • Deadzone shape Cross
  • Enable advanced deadzone options
  • Increase anti-deadzone to 10000

Vibration doesn't work, even with the in-game option enabled.
