Control Options
La Rana lists Partial Controller Support, indicating that a controller can be used for core actions such as movement and puzzle interaction. The feature does not specify exclusive reliance on any single input method.
Because controller support is partial, the listing does not guarantee every function works with a controller, so the game remains playable through the supported controller features it documents.
- If you use a controller, experiment with the available inputs to find what feels comfortable for movement.
- Switch between controller and other inputs to see which best suits puzzle interaction.
