This Side Up

The game is hella fun, but the controls aren't intuitive at first, you can't use the mouse in the menu. The right employee has do be controled by the left buttons by default, you can change it mid game, but it´s annoying when you try to beat the clock. The game fells like brushing your teeths with the left hand or reading upside down, good for rewiring your brain. Nice experience!

A delightfully twisted puzzle game, in which you control up to two characters at once, each with their own directional orientation. The puzzles aren't too difficult once you get the hang of the physics, the real challenges are training your brain to juggle all the characters and/or completing levels quickly (in-game level timers). The game is designed to be played with wasd and ijkl on the keyboard, but I played through it with the Steam Deck controller after some configuration. I have a community controller layout for the Steam Deck with the D-pad & ABXY-face-buttons as the two control halves (and the analog sticks, but I prefer buttons for platformers). Note that the game requires the [Enter] key to navigate menus; I recommend rebinding that if playing on controller, but you'll need to at least navigate all the way into a level first. The game runs great on Steam Deck (with the native linux build), even if it doesn't yet work with controllers out of the box.
