So far so good. Thank you, getting the controls set right was a little difficult, since I wasn't sure what to do at first. But now I get to play undertale! Being a terrible person who never watched gameplay or anything and calling it stupid to piss my bf off, decided to watch game play. Now I've been dying to play it! Again. Thanks for making this app ^^

Cool but... I'M HAVING A HARD TIME USING THE CONTROLLER. U should update it to a joystick cause... I'M ALWAYS HAVING A HARD TIME PLAYING UNDERTALE!! It always stops when my finger is out the controller, and it sometimes go to the wrong direction like instead of right, it goes to the left-right direct. Try and make the joystick like in Hungry Sharks' joystick. SO PLEASEE, CHANGE IT TO JOYSTICK!!!

I deleted and download it again...and I've tried the steps ! After that.. There were no notifications on!! Just fix this problem! Edit: Ok.. the controlers are soooo small... please make it a little bigger or else ill delete this app.. ( hey... its my talking here not yours if your angry... )

Whenever I switch between game pad and keyboard, and back to game pad, it doesn't work. It still has bugs and why can't we enable dpad top-left and all that. You know you're only getting downloads because of those videos about undertake on android so make it worth it. The darn thing has to have a joystick option too.

U70%
by U####:

Well, this app is just fine when I used it to play undertale on my tab. But the only problem is that the buttons won't work sometimes, they're just annoying. Whenever I pushed the left button, it always goes in the right direction. Even when I go up or down, it goes in upright or downright direction. I changed all of the available settings as I could, but it still goes the same.

hey I CAN'T CHANGE THE BUTTON SETTINGS I've tried to do it several times and it just doesn't let me!!! I don't know why, but can you please change that or at least fix it. I'm trying to play undertale and it's so annoying!!! I can't do anything except for just watch the beginning. So please update it so u can change the buttons or at least fix it

terrible!!!!!! I wanted to play UNDERTALE from my phone(Xiaomi Redmi 4) so, I downloaded this app, it did pop out during the opening, but, when the game sayed "PRESS 2 OR ENTER TO START" it didn't respond. I tapped the number 2 and enter numerously, still no effect. It doesn't even do anything. Please, fix this!!!!!!!

by R####:

It is very great. If you are trying to play undertale and the keys are not working, you have to turn off the Xbox thing. Then turn the letter A to 6 then B to 9 then X to 7 then Y to backspace. When you open the menu in undertale, hit Y and A at the same time. Hope this helped ! =)

The notification does not work at all, that means that you can't open the gamepad when you're not in the gamepad app. My phone is running Android N (7.0). The notification did work on Android jellybean. But when it does work it works well????

You have the right idea for creating this app but it's very hard to play games when it is so glitchy. I play Undertale with it and my go left button has completely stopped working and make me go right even though the settings say it doesnt. Also I have to test it then go to my undertale app and press the notifications above just to get the buttons up. The A,X,Y, and B buttons are not even coded correctly and are not what they say they are. Like when you press "place 'enter' as A", it does that but for another button. Please fix these bugs and I'll give you five stars! This app has great potential!

U70%
by U####:

Just like what the others said... this app needs to be fixed. I can relate to the comments of most users who installed this which are Undertale fans. I suggest to make this app useful. The reason why I tried to download this is to play the game on my phone without the use of the real gamepad or joystick. I don't know why there are some who were happy because it worked on theirs because it just doesn't. Not accurate and reliable at all. It's really a disappointment to me that I can't play the game since this app doesn't even work.

(EDITED) ok, so i found out how to work the buttons and stuff, and I loaded up Undertale. No problems! I usually play it when I'm on car rides and stuff. Except one problem is that sometimes, SOMETIMES the gamepad will disappear. But other than that, no problems!

Bad controls, it's confusing, how do you keep it on while playing a game. Definitely do not recomend it to anyone! Horrible at! It also gave me a virus!!!

H70%
by H####:

I got it to work, but it's not exactly ideal. The notification stops working if I switch keyboards, and can only be fixed by force stopping and restarting the app or rebooting the tablet. Also, it doesn't support macros, which is a real let down. If those two things were fixed, I would happily give this 5 stars, but those 2 issues really drag this app down.

It can be annoying when it dosen't work when you try everything to try and fix it it then you discover that the app is broken i tried on my undertale for the first time and then it worked! But then.....when I had lunch first yesterday I was done then.....i did wut I had to do to make it start but nothing happened so I deleted the app then dowloaded it again! It just finished now so pls update it make it nicer thx.

It works great and all, but the buttons are a bit too small. It makes them hard to use, especially when you need to focus on the screen more than the buttons.

Guys if you have problem on controls follow this steps 1. Turn off dosbox 2. Set button a to 6, set button b to 9, set button x to 7 set button y to backspace and turn on notification asking how to start game ? Open the game you want and Play

Whenever I activate the permanent notification, it won't go away after deactivating it. I managed to got it to by force stopping the app, but it's still annoying to have to do that. every time.

But I want to enlarge my Gamepad and I can't find a way to do so. The only thing I ask you is to make an option where we can make the Gameplay bigger.

I'm trying to play Undertale on my phone and it's kinda annoying when the app won't stay open when I leave typing mode. If I close out of a typing window, the app closes the gamepad, and I can't get it back. The notification doesn't work at all. When it decides to Mercy me, I have an awesome gaming experience, but when the gamepad won't show up, all I get is Title Screen Simulator 2 - Undertale Edition. Be nice if there was a more concrete way to activate it.

H70%
by H####:

1) Missing some keyboard buttons in config menu like pg up and pg down. Some games in DosBox require the use of keys you don't have listed and I'm forced to map the keys in DosBox itself. 2) NEEDS PROFILES for specific games/emulators. 3) Not sure if it's me but swiping to switch between gamepad n keyboard is buggy.

D70%
by D####:

The Y axis registers as the X axis. Is this due to the Xbox setting or emulated 8 way setting? Trying to play Doom with GZDoom requires 2 D-pads and while the abc xyz may suffice for some emulators, others need more. Also wish I could customize the layout.

D70%
by D####:

Now at the pacifist route!!! If the buttons don't work do not worry because all you have to do is put the A as 6, B as 9, X as 7, and Y as Backspace. To open your menu in the game press Y and A at the SAME time. To go back from something, press B. To close something like a box in the game press B not X because it won't work if you press X.

Update: I had this all set up and i got a cheap bluetooth keyboard to go with my tablet, it works better with the keyboard because it dosent suddenly stop working, if your playing undertale 6 is to select and 9 is to exit or go back, the arrow keys are to move, and i got a cheap good quality tablet case with a keyboard on amazon for $20. If you dont have a computer to play undertale on i reccomend this. Original text: Okay it would be five stars if you can make the d pad bigger because people like me who have big fingers find this difficult. Second please add a joystic becaise it would be a lot easier to play games with a joy stick
