Important Note: While both Keyboard and Gamepad are supported, Gamepad is the preferred choice, UI prompts are also using the controller buttons currently but if you check on the pause menu it will the keyboard number equivalent to each gamepad face button. 

Known Issue - Left Stick down or up doesn't work on the game menus, instead you can navigate the menus with the D-Pad.
