Gamepad

Any standard gamepad is supported via the browser Gamepad API. The controller status indicator is in the bottom-right corner — click it to see if yours is detected. The game auto-detects when a gamepad is connected or disconnected. Please note new interfaces for TardQuest Online II are still being developed, and have not been integrated with gamepad controls yet. Expect some rough edges and missing features.
