The entire game is programmed in Flash, so there will never be gamepad support for this awesome game. Unless you use XPadder (or its inferior alternatives) of course.

Long story short, this is what I came up with:
...

Obviously, use sticks to move and shoot. Select toggles fullscreen, A to use the "Space"/rechargeable item, B or Right Bumper to swallow pills or cast cards, X or Left Bumper to throw bombs.

Sometimes, the mouse cursor will obstruct your view or maybe it's needed to choose options. Use the digipad für mouse cursor movement, Right Trigger to click. Press Y ingame for options.

The difference between the cramp-inducing keyboard controls and your trusty 360 pad is vast, to say the least. Try it, if you don't like it, change it and post your own code. :)
I tried your dual-stick approach, and it just wasn't quite working for me. Movement maps well to an analog stick, but since shooting is only one of four directions, I found the analog stick too imprecise.

Another advantage of this layout is that you don't have to stop shooting in order to use items.

I did, however, take your excellent idea of including mouse control.

Code: Select all

Edit: Revised to use "P" for pause instead of "Escape", because "P" toggles pause, see http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questio ... ment-50376
