Disclaimer
Because of a hardcoded limitation in the Windows XInput API, only up to four XInput Xbox controllers can be connected and recognized simultaneously.
For slots 5–8 you must use other controllers like DualShock/DualSense, DirectInput devices, or other non-XInput controllers.
We are sorry about this inconvenience for the players who only have Xbox controllers, but there's not really much we can do about it.

Shanking Simulator - Ability Showcase
Hello, this is the first announcement we are making on the steam community but it surely isn't the last.Today we will be looking at the 9 abilities that are currently in the game.(All of the damages and balancing will probably change alongside the games development and with updates when the game is out)1. BlickyBlicky is as the name can give out a pistol, you shoot with it (amazing). It can be used for long range or close range fighting. It has a certain amount of ammo inside and once it runs out it will reload for a while before you can use it again. Pretty simple right?(shooting with the blicky)2. GrenadeGrenade is a grenade. You can throw it, hold it in your hand, or even headbutt it at the enemy. With some weapons you can hit it to also make it go further.(thrown grenade)(example of headbutting the grenade at an enemy)3.

Knife ThrowOne of the more basic abilities, you have a unlimited knifes to throw but you have a cooldown between throwing them. can be used to snipe enemies from afar.(throwing a knife)5. TeleporterTeleporting is an ability for rushing the enemy. It is very effective at getting yourself close to the enemy to get a good melee combo done, very good when fighting somebody who wants to keep their range from you.(teleporting in front of the enemy)(teleporting on top of the enemy and dealing damage)6. Thug MagicThug magic is a ability that only the strongest of shankers possess. It has two actions, the first one is that you summon a magic ball projectile that damages enemies. And for the second ability it is a crazy laser that destroys everything in its path!(thug magics ball projectile)(thug magics laser strike)7.
