FAQ

Will my save games from the Demo Version work in the Full Version?

No. The game has had a lot of changes made to it between the Demo and the Full release so unfortunately your saves will not work.

Is there joypad support? Will there be?

Project: Starfighter does not currently support joypads. This is something that may be added in future versions but not anytime soon (reason being we need a joypad ourselves in order to develop for it).
