#twinsticks
day one. can't have a space shmup without.. yknow. space. and shmup.

twinsticks, kb/m or gamepad support, upgradeable bullet/enemy patterns, pretty curve generation for motion. added focus and dash abilities to player (HUD/effects pending). added hit, kill, scrap. and chill tunes.

todo: boobs :3

#13) ASSAULT ANDROID CACTUS by WITCH BEAM

I love the control scheme of twinsticks but I really don't play enough of them. Still, I really enjoyed my time with AAC both times I've played it! The sorta "chibi industrial" style with sharp bullet patterns was charming the whole way through.

I love the Spooky chapter but the archaic controls to aim/shoot the gun is difficult to play when you've been spoilt by twinsticks and shoulder buttons.

so I've heard... but twinsticks just don't scratch the same itch for me

might still give that game a look. once I remember the name anyway lol

Wasn't aware that the NES port of Smash TV let you use two NES gamepads held vertically to approximate twinsticks controls, making it essentialy a precurser to split joycons.

(Surprised the phrasing on the box art advertising this feature made it to release, though)

it’s a great time for twinsticks with crazy colors

Do you make games? READ THIS. Do you play games? READ THIS. 25 year game development veteran (including legendary Housemarque twinsticks) details why his year or two passion project took 4.5 years. Game looks ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. imgur.com/gallery/sekt... @andychalk.bsky.social

For me who can't afford the fancy Tanita twin sticks, but I do have both the Saturn and DC Twinsticks lying around somewhere in storage... Heeey!

DevLog 1: basic movement, twin stick firing, and the absorption of enemy bullets.

In Vortex Breakers, you don't dodge bullets, but block them from hitting the special crystal you're protecting, which then becomes energy for special abilities.

imo, better than diablo. twinsticks on controller, bosses feel better, and the char builds are incredibly (intimidatingly almost) deep. diablo does have probably the better overall polish when it comes to the graphics/art but.. poe is incredible. $30 early access is worth it or ftp is a steal.

I have two Saturn twinsticks and would absolutely like to know more about this PCB

GET READY
*music starts*

Love love *love* Virtual On. I really need to pick up a set of twinsticks myself at some point.
September 12, 2025 at 6:55 PM
Is the top one the Tanita ones for the re-release? Wanted one of those at some point lol.

I'm also just tempted to wire up one of my twinsticks with a Pico board so I can hook it up to my PC, but that would involve sacrificing them when they actually both work with my modded Dreamcast lol.

Balatro is to card games what vampire survivors is to twinsticks?

I DO love me some GameCube button layout and while I acknowledge the Wavebird walked so the Dualshock Twinsticks could run, I am BEGGING Nintendo to come out with one fucking controller that has comfortable and well placed thumb sticks that don't break 😭

Maybe the Switch Pro fits that description?🤔

I didn't get Airport in VOOT but botched some other stages! Who cares we'll be submitting the race another time to show off our two (2) twinsticks www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lP6...

Gotta respect Maebashi Witches for featuring the Virtual On twinsticks and Donkey Konga bongos in the same shot

the thing that made me sad was when they made an ultra-hardcore twinstick with no saves and it did poorly, and they went "clearly no one wants our twinsticks" when their much easier twinsticks (like dead nation) sold better. they went "we're doubling down on hardcore" and that hasn't helped them :(

Virtual-On, by a long margin (and by long margin, I mean I impulse-bought two twinsticks for that game) lol

imagine running virtual on locals on an old P166 and people are showing up with their own homemade twinsticks
May 17, 2025 at 12:51 AM
Yeah I think so. The camera and movement would favor the twinsticks of controllers. Just need to figure out the best way of selecting your spells.
May 12, 2025 at 7:51 AM
we have two twinsticks
April 22, 2025 at 3:53 AM
It's still pretty good, and the English cast is particularly impressive in the localization. I wish somebody would create a fanhack that supports the DC Twinsticks though.

It's random game Saturday - this time we have Alien Resurrection, a game that was maligned in reviews for it's "terrible" controls: twinsticks for an fps. It set the standard for the modern console fps (though similar controls had been tried in the mid-late 90s). review clip is from gamespot
