You can control your Toot character using a gamepad.

Supported gamepad devices

Android

Certain Bluetooth controllers may work. Android gaming devices like Ouya, Razer, etc will be supported at some point.

• Most USB gamepads or joysticks will work “out of the box.”
• Special support for Bluetooth controllers, including using the Wii Remote (held sideways), are in the works.
• Older, non-USB gamepads should also work if their drivers are set up correctly

The XBox360 Wired USB controller and certain compatible gamepads with XInput drivers. See http://www.gamepadjs.com/ for some devices known to work.

MacOSX

The XBox360 Wired USB controller with a special driver: http://tattiebogle.net/index.php/ProjectRoot/Xbox360Controller/OsxDriver is the only model expected to work “out of the box.”

Setting Up

• Sign in to Tootsville.
• Once the game is connected (green stripey border), press any Gamepad button.
• A Mist Parrot will appear and try to guess the layout of your controller.
  • If they have correctly shown your layout, you're done. Press the button they ask you to (usually START or similar).
  • If your gamepad is not known to us, they'll ask you to push various buttons and controls to build up a mapping. Follow the Parrot's instructions.

Controls

The mapping of these controls may be a bit different for your game pad. In the control panel, click the Gamepad icon ( 🎮 ) to view the mapping.

The below is general/typical for most gamepads:

Look around

Right stick or alternate control

The main button (usually bottom-most button)
