Kira Kira Magical Stars is a cute fantasy magical girl top-down shooter and platformer featuring:
Default Controls: Keyboard: Movement = Arrow keys Jump / Confirm = Z Shoot / Cancel = X Magic = Hold Shoot Button to charge, release to cast. Pause = Enter
Controller: Movement = D-Pad or Left Stick Jump / Confirm = Right Face Button (NS = A / PS = Circle / XB = B) Shoot / Cancel = Bottom Face Button (NS = B / PS = X / XB = A) Magic = Hold Shoot Button to charge, release to cast. Pause = Start
(You can toggle the Analogue Stick On or Off by pressing the Select button at any point in the game)
(If at any point in the game you need to restore the default controls for any reason, you can do so by holding the Select button on a controller, or Backspace on the keyboard for 5 seconds. Restoring the defaults on keyboard does not restore the defaults on a controller, and vice-versa.)
For Non-Windows users:
The game works perfectly under Wine, that said, only Xinput controllers seem to work. Tested using Kubuntu 23.10
