Hah, thanks for catching that. Was a little copy-paste happy earlier.

Jeff I have received an email from Desura saying the new build has been approved so you should be able to download it now.

Use a gamepad at the splash screen and then select “Left Stick 8 Dir” from the options menu to activate the new scheme. It works best if you hold the stick down to guide the snake instead of flicking it when you want to change direction.

I’ve written up some thoughts regarding the control system, and you inspiring us to update them: http://orbitalgames.co.uk/2011/11/thoughts-on-octopede-control-system/

Brandon as far as the XBL version goes, I’m waiting for an Xbox 360 memory unit to arrive so I can get rid of the last storage bugs on Xbox. I’ll then submit it for peer review and after about 2 weeks it should be live in the Indie arcade!

Stay posted, and thanks for the support!

[...] few weeks after release, we received an ace review from Jeff at the Indie Mine, though once again those dastardly control issues popped up. We thought it was time for an Octopede [...]

Andy, I really appreciate you taking my comments to heart. I’ll post some follow-up thoughts once I’ve had the chance to try out the new controls.

Thanks for weighing in Andy. Will definitely be giving this one a try when it comes to Xbox Live.

Hi,

Thanks for the great review!

We have taken your controls ‘input’ (see what I did there?!) to mind and have updated Octopede with the ability to set the Left stick of a 360 controller to move in all 8 Directions.

The updated builds are being uploaded to Desura as I write this, and once they have been approved, users will be able to download / update to get the new changes.

This new movement mode is turned on via the “Left Stick 8 Dir” option in the options menu.

Thanks again for a great review and for playing Octopede!
