Hello! I've been working on this as a little side project over the summer. It's way better if you have a controller but you can play with the keyboard if you don't have one. Try it, there are plenty of bugs!

RIght now the spinning initiation is weird compared to most games/physics. Right now, the sooner from takeoff you press spin, the slower you go. It should be the other way around. Most games, like Skate, have a dropoff of the spin speed you can reach depending on when you begin to spin, which makes more sense. If you do a straight air, then try to spin 1/2 the way through the air, you should spin very slowly and barely get any spin around.

This is mainly really a problem with the keyboard. The controller works better, but you can still spin too fast if you try halfway through the air.

I somehow just managed to gap from the lip of the rainbow to the very end of the FD box, I wonder what base material these skis use?!

You should add a button for tail presses. Like J for the skier to lean on his toes and n for him so lean back and crouch for tail presses

So just for clarification, what controllers work on the PC?

Does a wired PS3 controller work? Does a non-wired PS3 controller work?

Do any non-wired controllers work?

Do wired Xbox 360 controllers work well?

Do aftermarket Wired PS3/Xbox360 controllers work?

I wish there was an edit post button here.

Anyways, I am asking these questions for the knowledge of other people, and myself.

Thanks.

I think I'm going to collect these questions and make a FAQ for the site at some point.

Yes a wired PS3 controller works. You can set it up so it's wireless (I haven't tried on a PC) but you need to have a wire plugged in to set it up.

As far as I know, you need to have a wired controller. The power chord for an xbox won't work either.

the 360 controller works just as well as the PS3 controller

Some aftermarket wired controllers might work, but the mapping for them will be off. I'll have to figure out a solution to that because there's a few people who've tried.

Basically it's:
Mac with PS3 controller: As long as you have v10.6 and up you just have to plug the controller in and press the middle button and it works

Mac with Xbox controller: You have to download the Tattiebogle driver. I have a link for it on the site. If the controller isn't responding go into System preferences and under "Other" you should see the icon for the driver. Open that up and see if it works.

PC with Xbox/ PS3 controller: You have to download the Motionjoy driver. I have a link along with instructions for mapping the triggers. I really wish I could have made it simpler to get the controller working on a PC but this was the best driver I found. I guess not enough people play games on a computer using a controller to justify making a consistent set of drivers that work for all controllers.

Yep and the small sticker is a Habs logo, or if you don't know what that is a Montreal Canadiens sticker:

Awesome, thanks so much man. I just went out and bought a Nyko PS3 controller because nobody carried a 1st party one. Hopefully it works somewhat.

So I have already spent money on your game but it isnt in your pocket... thats not right.

I'm using a ps3 controller and triangle is reset, there is no pop/speed button, and grabs/spins work normally. That's all I can do.

Just incase anyone is thinking of being too lazy to go through the hassle of getting a controller working......

Stop being silly.

This game absolutely NEEDS a controller. Subtle stick movement is the fabric of what makes it awesome.

I have absolutely nothing to do with this game. Straight up - Malcolm developed this in his free time.

TBH - I was sort of shocked when he showed it to me recently. I kind of thought he was just fucking around with Unity for a trampoline game. I guess it evolved.

Malcolm, I'm having some troubles with my Xbox controller on Mac. I've downloaded the necessary driver and the controller shows up in the driver program. When I try to play with the controller, none of the buttons work and the green light around the middle button that usually indicates that the controller is on is not illuminated. I can't seem to turn it on when it's connected to the computer, but it works fine with my Xbox. Please help!
