OS/Controllers/System Requirement
This game is built for windows and works well for both 32 and 64 bit. As it was built for pc it only accepts keyboard and mouse as controllers, if the request for other controllers is high this may change. Due to being an indie developer with very low budget the amount of hardware i can access for now is very limited. This means that all system requirement i've written are based on the hardware i pocess and not the actual hardware required to play this game. As such these system requirements may lower in the future.
(Note again that so far this game does not support any other OS than windows).

Game Quality
