Gamepad Controls Update
2026-07-08Hey everyone! I just pushed an update that adds gamepad support to Burgie's Cozy Kitchen! I'll be honest with you all, figuring out the "right" control scheme has been surprisingly tricky. There are so many ways to map things, and what feels natural to me might not feel natural to you. So please don't expect this to be perfect right out of the gate! That said, I'd love for you to give it a try and let me know what you think. Some things that would help a ton: • Does the current button layout feel intuitive? • Any actions that feel awkward or in the wrong place? • Anything missing that you'd expect from a gamepad control scheme?

One thing to note: the ESC menu currently doesn't have gamepad support. The settings menu was designed with PC/mouse-and-keyboard in mind, and adding gamepad navigation there was getting complicated fast, so I decided to leave it out for now rather than rush it. If I ever do a console port down the line, that menu will be reworked specifically for that. To be clear: these controls are not final. This is very much a work in progress, and your feedback will directly shape how I tweak things going forward. If you've got suggestions, criticisms, or just general impressions, I'm all ears (and genuinely excited to hear them)! Thanks so much for playing and for helping make Burgie's Cozy Kitchen better.
