Input Madness

.

Input Madness is an unconventional virtual keyboard,
usable by up to 4 players simultaneously.

.

Place the keys of your choice on the ground, move your characters above them and activate them! They’ll replicate real keyboard inputs in the window of your choice, allowing you, for example, to write a beautiful cover letter inside MS Word... in coop mode!

But even better, you can also use Input Madness to play all kinds of other games, as long as they’re keyboard-based!

We've heard it works very well with emulators such as Dolphin or Project64 too, but we wouldn’t dare try it ourselves, as roms are illegal. (right?)

⚠ Please note: Input Madness requires one or more gamepads to operate.

🌐 Parsec compatible, so you can play with your friends online 🌐
(requires a good connection).

A new speedrunning challenge

Input Madness can turn any task into a hilarious and chaotic four-player speedrun challenge. It significantly ramps up the difficulty of your games, so you’ll need to communicate and get creative, and any simple goal achieved will become a team celebration.

We've also set up a subreddit to help you share your feats and key layouts (which you can import and export from the game!)

Here are some examples of challenges to be met:

• Defeat Mega Satan Binding of Isaac
• Complete Elden Ring
• Modeling a pick-up truck in Blender
• Write a letter of resignation
• Code an Input Madness clone in Unity

.

What’s next?

We've decided to make Input Madness completely free of charge, to give as many people as possible the chance to experiment, get to grips with the tool and make it easier to spread around the world!

Our ambition is to develop this tool to meet all your needs. However, we need your help to fund our work.

The more donations we get, the more features we'll be able to add, such as:

• A mouse control module
• Obstacles to place on the grid
• Objects to put on the keys and keep them pressed
• Environmental parameters (like wind bursts)
• ... and your suggestions on Reddit, of course!

So, if you have the resources, please consider supporting the project (whether through donations here or by purchasing Toasterball)

If not, feel free to share it or any weird creation you do with it on social media, spread the word and help Input Madness become a speedrun tool not to be missed!

Thank you ❤
