“Not to be rude, but your game is garbage. I bought this game for my four-year-old sister to play since she saw it in a video and asked if we could buy it. Before I bought the game, I looked up to see if a controller was able to be used, and yes, the option is available. But when I downloaded the game and tried to set up the controller, half of the controls would not work and were mapped backwards. For example, standard games with a controller use the left stick to move directions. This game is like that, but when I mapped my left stick for movements, I mapped upwards to move forward, downward to move back, left to go left, and right to go right. I set up a local game for her, and it would not let me get into the game three times before I was finally able to get in. I went to test the controls, and when I pushed the stick down, it went forward. Your mechanics are trash.”
“Linear gameplay.”
