Pingo Adventure v0.2.1

v0.2.1 #

First update for the Closed Beta! Yay!

0.2.1 is about fixing the basic stuff and ensure a better gameplay experience, while eliminating all the annoying bits, like floaty character movement, unable to switch between keyboard and controller in game, UI not compatible with controller analog, etc…

In short, this update focus on fixing stuff and there’s no changes made to the content(game level) yet.

Cheers!
