Development Update: Keyboard Binding, Launch Issues, and Input Problems
Thank you for all the feedback.
In particular, thank you for your comments regarding keyboard bindings.
This is our first time working with keyboard controls,
so we released the game according to the Tetris Guidelines as specified.
We will consider improvements to keyboard binding in future updates.
This limitation is partly due to the fact that TGM was originally developed for the Japanese arcade market.
Since arcade cabinets only had arcade controllers, there was very little reference or data related to keyboard play.
Additionally, for fairness, certain simultaneous inputs that are not possible with arcade sticks are currently disabled.
That said, we will continue to review and adjust this in the future.
Regarding the issue where the game does not launch,
we are currently investigating based on the information provided by users in their reports.
For the issue where the game launches but does not respond to input,
please check the following points first:

For the issue where the game launches but does not respond to input,
please check the following points first:
- To enable low-latency input, only devices connected before launching the game are recognized.
- If more than one device is connected that is recognized as a controller via USB,
the keyboard may not be assigned input. - If you wish to play with a keyboard, make sure no more than one USB controller-type device is connected.
- Please launch the game after connecting the desired device.
Thank you for your continued support of TGM4.
