WARNING: This update will reset your controls. Target switching is now Q and E by default. Just change the controls back if you feel like it. The controls got reset because controller support required rewriting the input system.

Key changes

• Controller Support

  
  You can now set up two control schemes. One of them is used for controller by default. Controller sticks and D-pad are now assignable. You can navigate menus by moving the cursor with right stick, and clicking buttons with X.
  This was only tested with DualShock 4, i have no idea if it will work properly with other controllers. Let me know about that.
  WARNING: Unfortunately your current keybind settings will be lost because i had to rewrite the input system from the ground up and it has a different serialization pattern now.
  
  

• 2-Player Mode Is Now Functional

  You can select a control scheme for player 2 in the controls settings.
