Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom from Game Atelier and DG Entertainment recently gained a small but sweet update to improve gameplay on the Steam Deck.
While it's currently tagged as "Unsupported" by Valve, this should hopefully bump it up to fully Verified. It previously had an issue where all the button mapping icons where broken. This latest update adds full support for the Steam Deck controls, and additionally adds in native 16:10 aspect ratio support too. Thanks to that update, Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom should now be a great experience on Steam Deck.

Quoting: beguiThe game is so great.. the music is so bad..
What?? Yuzo Koshiro, Motoi Sakuraba, Michiru Yamane, Keiki Kobayashi, Takeshi Yanagawa, and Haruka Shimotsuki are the composers, and the soundtrack sounds really good. How so? Did you play the game?

Quoting: dude16:10 aspect ratio update.. smart move! I'll have to start over.Only problem with my screen, very little love for 32:10. Then again it's rather a cheat for platform games.

I dunno, i tried several ones without any success. Playing that kind of game with kb is a no way for me.

For sure, keyboard on a platformer is trash. Typically an xbox 360 controller is the 'default' for most games.

There's been an update recently. My Logitech F310 was picked up straight away, so maybe your controller will be, too?

Is your F310 in X (XInput) or D (DirectInput) mode? Try flipping the input mode switch on the bottom.

Quoting: haikuD might work better in a few old games, but X is almost always the right mode to be in.Quoting: tuubiIs your F310 in X (XInput) or D (DirectInput) mode? Try flipping the input mode switch on the bottom.thanks, it was X and i try both without success
Maybe check your Steam Input settings? I haven't used Logitech gamepads in a couple of years, but I think I sometimes had to disable Steam Input completely for a title if it was interfering with the game somehow.
