I\u2019m using an AZERTY keyboard, which probably didn\u2019t help (I\u2019m honestly shocked that Unreal doesn\u2019t support physical key position bindings \ud83d\ude2e).\n\nOnce I opened the pause menu and saw the gamepad hints, I switched to a controller \u2014 much better!\n\nEven then, I\u2019m still not sure I got everything. I figured out the shield and cooling mechanics, but there\u2019s a slot on the left that I never used and didn\u2019t quite understand. Also, some satellites crash off-screen, so it's hard to know whether you would have managed to dodge them without using the shield.\n\nI think full mouse control could have worked really well for this kind of gameplay!\n\nThat said \u2014 it looks great, and the sound design is super clean.
