[h2]Steam Deck playable + Controller support[/h2]
We’re excited to officially support Steam Deck! As huge believers in Valve’s vision, Gametrain Studios is making Mindform fully playable on Steam Deck. This also means Mindform now includes full controller support, a feature many of you have requested. Get ready to play your way!

Sidenote: We're to small a studio to apply for the deck verification. As soon as that is possible we'll be making sure that everything goes through accordingly :) In the meantime we will make sure everything runs smooth as butter through proton and that the game plays and controls like intended for the smaller screen size.

Mark your calendar for December 13th and join us for this massive free "Ascend" update. Get set to climb, explore, and play Mindform like never before. See you on the mountain!

Thank you very much to all the feedback from the players which help is in furthering the development of this game! Please continue to send it in.
