I love mooncat, it's always so funny seeing people try to figure out the control. For anyone reading this, the bounce goes in what direction you're holding. So if you hold with your dpad to bounce, you'll bounce left if you use the face buttons you'll go right, and if you let go of all buttons once you start a slam you will bounce in place.
As the first person [that I've seen] to play this on keyboard, I've come to realize something. Mooncat defaults to "Control Mode B" which has the control stick/D-pad for left movements and the two buttons for right movements. "Control Mode A" flips that and I wonder if it's meant for keyboards. It makes sense since the arrow keys are on the right side of most keyboards and Z/X are on the left.
I am not sure why so many streamers don't get it. Mooncat controls are similar to the old game & watch games where you had one button on each side of the screen.
"I am not sure why so many under 40 streamers don't get the control scheme of a game system that was discontinued 33 years ago" I'm going to be charitable and assume you're being sarcastic, lol
@@joehemmann1156My comment was half sarcastic. But please consider that the point of UFO 50 (as stated by Derek Yu) was the capture not only the aesthetics of an 80s game but also the limitations of these systems and the feeling of playing an 80's console game in the 80s. When you take that into account, a control scheme similar to the one presented in mooncat makes sense. A lof ot these old consoles (which I had the privileges to play when they were still kind of new) where experimental when it comes to control. The establishment of directional controls in the form of a game pad was still still new at the late 80s.
I genuinely didn't know if you were gonna love or hate Mooncat. But I knew it was gonna be one of the two. Love you Baer, stay you. (I purchased UFO 50 exclusively to try out Mooncat after I saw it, and it was love at first play. But I absolutely get that it is not for everyone.) I do hope they change the keyboard controls though. That is dumb and they should be swapped.
Seemed like a game where you’re controlling a wet walking chicken leg with controls expected of such an object, could never imagine getting past the first screen myself

Mooncat slander across the internet 😢 Sad to see

I can confirm that the game defaults to mode A if you're using a keyboard.
>game is called Mooncat
>you play as a walking uterus
What did the developers mean by this?
🤔
Baer: *starts Mooncat*
Baer: *moves*
Baer: "I'm immediately confused"
aka Mooncat in a nutshell 😂
Mooncat is my favorite game on UFO 50

As someone under 25, that shit breaks my brain

29 and I don't get the issue, it's literally just two buttons. It took like 2 minutes tops to get used to not trying to move with the dpad

Northernlion is a better Mooncat player than Baer is confirmed.
As soon as i saw "spiritual successor to Barbuta" i knew it was gonna be more troll than Homestuck
I love mooncat. Its not good. But its such a wonderful mystery
Watching you play this is painful. No lie found mooncat to be one of easiest UFO games.
Camouflage shouldn’t have real time aspects, don’t know what they were thinking
Nnoooo Mooncat abandoned! -200 baer respect
Unsubscribed after that mooncat crashout

@@BaerTaffy Apology accepted ❤️
seeing what streamers vibe with what game is part of the appeal of watching this game for me imo
