Contrólele issue

Please fix, I play with a controller but I can’t find a way to set a button for the Granades I love the game

Update the controls

Great game, horrible controls, the touch control joystick does not follow your finger, so you tend to stop moving if you move your finger too far.

No problem, right? Just use a controller?

WRONG!

You can’t use grenades at all with a controller…

You can’t use grenades?

Honestly disappointing. I connected a Bluetooth controller only to find out it supports all the buttons except for grenades. Beyond disappointing. Don’t bother with this title unless you want to get a hand cramp tapping the screen.
