and im doing local
same problem
hi can i play a ps4 controlleer with a keyboard i got the controller as player 1 but when i press a for player 2 no work
if you cant play with a ps4 try Xbox wireless controller.
it also says in the read me file that "Any type of controller should work, but Windows computers recognize XBox controllers the easiest!"
Is It Online Multiplayer?
check the features
i have ps controllers and it doesn't work, anyone help please?
you can x360ce its emulator as xbox 360 controoler for pc
might not work that way if you can connect the ps4 controller to the pc wire wise and if not try bluetooth if its still not working then maybe try a xbox wireless controller hope it helps.
if u have steam
then add the game as a non steam game
they remind me of cuphead and mugman
did you know that ShortStacked is a couch co-op stealth game where you play as two kids stacked in a trench coat, getting up to comic-worty shenanigans! It’s cute, whimsical, and a little bit chaotic. Actively work with each other to reach your objectives and build a comic-worthy story along the way?
do ps4 controllers work for this?
I don't have an xbox controller, can it work with a ps4 controler?
tried using a keyboard with a wired switch controller, switch controller works for steam but didn't work in this game
Hello. I've tried two ps4 controllers, didn't work. Tried a ps4 and an xbox controller and the same thing. Also tried combination of two keyborads, keyboard/ps4 and keyboard/xbox. Same result. So one would assume this game is stricly for two xbox controllers? It switches in between player one with any of the three outputs plugged in. Steam is the way the controllers pop up on screen.
Just played duos locally uno on steam with xbox/ps4 and worked*
Just curious as if it's perhaps steam that disabling me or it's exclusively two xbox controllers, thanks for the support
I have a question I have not play the game but can you use keyboard instead ?
Wish this was possible. talk about accesibility.
I agree
fun
this game looks fun
does this work on a ps4 controller
Controller does not work on this game, pls help :(
That feel when you bump into multiplayer game looks like fun, but have no one to play with.
Not once in my life did I expect to see a stealth game, that is played Locally ( or remotely, makes sense that feature's added, due to the lockdown ). Yet here we are, with Short-Stacked. A fun game which takes the classical trick of two kids stacked on top of each other with a trench coat and a fedora, and makes it as hilarious and frustrating as it can be, since everyone knows games like these can get a little bit chaotic, resulting in, most likely, a lot of shouting. And it also has a pretty cute art-style.
