Issues fixed

Ship movement stuck in one direction

When using a controller, the game re-calibrates directional input at the start of each level. Holding a direction at the beginning of a level can result in this issue.
Force game to recalibrate controller input[citation needed]
  1. Pause the game.
  2. Select "Rebind Controls" on the pause menu.
  3. Have all players select "Ready".
  4. Unpause the game.
