Hello Players, In this update, I’ve added controller support and key rebinding, along with some bug fixes.

At this point, you can sit back and play comfortably using controllers. You might still need to use the keyboard for price and name settings. However, I plan to introduce features like an on-screen keyboard in future updates to make the game fully compatible with controllers. Additionally, all critical and important keys in the game are now fully cust
