How Do I Enable a Controller for Player 1?
Plug in your controller before launching Wobbly Life, or connect it while the game is running and press any button on the controller — it should automatically become the active input for Player 1. If it doesn’t respond, check that the controller is properly paired or plugged in, then restart the game.
How Does Local Split-Screen Work?
Wobbly Life supports local split-screen so a second player can join in on the same screen. Once a second controller is connected and a second player joins, the screen splits automatically. Keyboard and mouse can control one player while a controller controls the other, letting you mix input types in the same split-screen session.
Tips for Using the Two-Handed Grab System
Wobbly Life’s ragdoll-style grab system lets you hold objects and other characters with each hand independently. Approach an object or NPC and press the grab/interact button to latch on with that hand; you can grab with both hands at once for a firmer hold, which is especially useful when carrying money bags or wrestling with other players.
Controls FAQ
What is the interact button in Wobbly Life?
On keyboard, the interact/grab button is E. On Xbox controllers it’s X, and on PlayStation controllers it’s Square. It’s used to grab objects, NPCs, and enter vehicles.
How do I go limp or ragdoll in Wobbly Life?
Press Left Ctrl on keyboard, B on Xbox controllers, or Circle on PlayStation controllers to go limp and enter ragdoll mode.
Can I mix keyboard and controller in split-screen?
Yes. Wobbly Life’s local split-screen supports mixed input, so one player can use keyboard and mouse while the other uses a controller in the same session.
What is the max number of split-screen players?
Wobbly Life’s local split-screen is built around two players sharing the same screen at once.
Why isn’t my Player 1 controller working?
Make sure the controller is connected before launching the game, or press a button on it after connecting to register it as active input. If it still doesn’t respond, check the controller’s pairing or cable connection and restart the game.
