Playing with a controller isn't really fun, it feel weird. Maybe its my Xbox controller? I don't own another one so I can't verify it. So yeah, when i'm using the joystick, the control feels a bit touchy and make it hard to jump with good precision but also I have to put the joystick upward to crouch for some reasons. The D-pad is fine but the game definitely feel better with keyboard control :) I've always loved Fancy Pants btw <3
Energy problem was fixed. You can get unlimited energy, you just need to complete levels without casualties. But even if you fail to beat theme, you can gather reward for simple quests, that gives you free energy. Also you have a lot more maximum capacity so you can test more tactics and lose much more energy on it.
Test new gameplay and have fun!
