    From the latest games I’ve played Snake Core comes to mind. Works like this:

    Searched through my games, and I think Rogue Legacy is the closest I want.

    While not a d-pad, the game has a joystick that follows around the finger, so the size doesn’t matter.
    Buttons can be moved around and re-sized.

    You are a treasure, mate!

    Yeah, while there’s definitely no need to be able to move and resize individual directions, just being able to move and resize the entire d-pad in Action Squad would be awesome.

    No crashes, but switching between different classes still messes up their selected loadout which is incredibly annoying. Any ETA on fix for that?

    Update log says the bug with music stopping is fixed. It occurred for me after the update and required the phone reboot to fix it. The sound effects were working though.

    Btw anyone know the condition that the bomb jacket on a hostage explodes? Killing a guy with a detonator fast or not hitting the hostage doesn’t seem like a solution.

    Sometimes, the detonator dude doesn't die, he gets a 2nd wind on the floor. Watch for him.

    Regarding the off-duty guy, are you sure weapons are working as intended?

    I maxed out his accuracy, and the AK is far more accurate than the Carbine, almost like a laser rifle, but the weapon stats says otherwise.

    @elanaibaKHG still get the same crashes as before the update, so music disappearance, crashes, etc.

    Pretty sure, yeah. Keep in mind the accuracy is mostly 1st shot spread.

    @elanaibaKHG so, what’s the next update‘s ETA? Specifically, is the loadout issue when switching classes gonna be fixed soon? Because right now I’m spending more time selecting items than playing. It’s starting to be unbearable up to the point I’m considering to stop playing at all until it’s fixed. And that’s not a good sign!

    I got the game on android yesterday and must say it's amazing! I've already completed the first chapter with 3 stars and onto the second one now
    One thing i noticed is that on android could you please add an exit option in the future? I always have to minimise the app and clear it from the recents menu. A very minor issue but yeah would be great if i could directly exit from the game itself.

    Currently testing a version with customizable control surfaces (Dpad), but looking also to fix that.

    I’m still playing it tons. Like throwing a flash into a room and shooting them while they’re dazed.

    Such a great game. Been playing it tons Must admit the timed missions make me very very stressed !!

    Did you make it through 4.5 (Secret Stronghold)? I’m stuck there. Can’t get 3 stars - so many unpredictable situations.

    I noticed that those bombers that are still alive after falling onto the floor can be stunned with flashbangs. You will need to go up to them and melee to finish them off.

    I saved the sniper skill to pick off the lady with Molotov cocktails that is waiting above barrels.

    The molotov lady is not the end of the world, you should still have plenty of time for what needs to be done there....

    Not a d-pad*, but Dead Cells has what might be the best possible example of a static and floating stick in any side-scroller in recent memory. And the best controls (excepting those durned ladders :D ) for any side-scroller I've played. The game is also jam-packed with buttons - including a separate jump button on the right-hand side - and for me it still works beautifully, so I wouldn't worry about button overload if you add a jump button to DK. But letting us move and resize the buttons will likely be key if you do.

    Dust: An Elysian Tail is another good example of good controls in a side-scroller.

    And as Metalcasket points out, Rocketcat Games have some of the best controls on the platforms in general. Wayward Souls and Mage Gauntlet might be good inspiration, even if they are topdown/isometric action games.

    * I've never actually played with a d-pad that's been as good as a stick in any side-scroller I can remember, and I'm hard-pressed to think of a pad that's even felt sufficient for me.

    I've noticed a bug that whenever I'm shooting while moving and if i change directions during that time, my character starts reloading all of a sudden even when i have sufficient ammo still left in the clip, and it gets me killed most of the times in chapter 2 stage 10 when there are enemies coming from both my sides through doors. I try to kill one and change the direction, and sometimes it works and sometimes i don't know what happens my character starts reloading and a suicide bomber blows me up to bits or a brown shirt katanna guy chops me from behind.
    This is happening when I'm playing as the assaulter (I haven't tried the other classes yet). I guess it has something to do with the movement controls, and the shooting button being used together at the same time.

    Also the music sometimes stops playing, maybe when i restart a level. It has happened only twice though. I have to restart the game to get the music back.
    Could you please look into it @elanaibaKHG ?

    I can't reproduce this. Are you on Android or iOS, btw?
