Hi all! We have received some great feedback on mobile controls and plan to make some improvements this week. Ultimately we would love to add controls to settings where players can choose button size individually (cycle through 3 sizes small/medium/large) as well as moving controls anywhere on the screen, we plan to do this but it will be added well after we get the game out of beta as that would require a fair amount of dev. Until we have the "ultimate" control settings, we plan to the best one size fits all controls for tablets and phones. Below is what we are planning to push out this week but would love your feedback before we do. Key changes in the mock-ups below: letters are used instead of symbols, should be clearer for new players (A-accelerate, B-brake, L-left lean, R-right lean, Z-switch) tablet vs phone layout, tablet angled was decided internally to be more comfortable playing vs on a smaller device moved the switch to where the restart is now and moved the restart to top left Tablet: Phone:
Personally I would just add arrows instead of L, R. For the newcomers. But like always I have bad Ideas
I agree. Symbols are simpler, that is, if you make them simple. Also, I think in the Tablet controls, the "Z" and "L" should be swapped, "but like always I have bad Ideas".
I agree accept I would leave the "Z" and "L" cuz the way it is is cemetrical to "A" and "B" which are the opposite Just my thought
I actually don't. I always find keyboard/mouse the best for almost anything, because I'm pretty used it. Good catch, didn't notice it.
I would really appreciate if you make it able like this: -When you hold up and left in the editor(pc), when trying out the track, hold two buttons whilst pressing spacebar(pause). For example: holding up/w riding and then press space, whilst holding up. Ask me if you don't understand what I mean and I'll try to explain different.
I think the controls were EXTREMELY difficult at first but after a while I got used to it and now Z is in a much more convenient spot.
Arrows for mobile devices? We had that previously but found it was confusing for new players, so we switched the symbols of letters. For example, the right lean was being confused with accelerate. At least now with letters we can explain them better "A"-accelerate, "B"-brake, "R"-right lean, "L"-left lean and "Z" just because "Z" is used on keyboard and used in a lot of maps.
This is becoming way too confusing.Here is my idea for this: Top row(in order):A L R Bottom row(in order):B Z That way the left hand can be for a and b and the right for l,r,and z.The reason why i think this way is because I keep on confusing the z for l. I also support this:
