Running Super Space Towers On Low End Machines

We have tested Super Space Towers on a number of low end PCs & laptops.

Try the following suggested settings:

• Screen Resolution to 1280 x 720.

• Render Quality to Low.

Both of these settings can be found under "Options" from the Main Menu.

Joypad Support for Super Space Towers

Super Space Towers supports joypads via XInput and through the Steam Client.
We have tested with Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS4 and Switch Pro controllers.

Steam Controller Settings

You can find the Steam controller settings:
Steam menu option (top left) > Settings > Controller and then click General Controller Settings.

Incorrect joypad buttons being displayed

If you have enabled controller support within the Steam Client this overrides our ability to correctly detect the type of controller so you will see Xbox controller buttons.

For the best experience we recommend disabling the controller support within the Steam Client as shown in the image.
