I wonder if anyone knows how you can use a joypad with Tower 57. I bought the game when it was new but I haven't really tried to play it until now. The problem is that I can't control my character with my joypad. The joypad works well in AmigaInput and I can set the buttons in the options menu but when I try to play I can only control my character with my keyboard. Nothing happens when I press a button on my joypad.
I can't find any setting where I can set the joypad as primary input other than the options menu where you can highlight the joypad settings or the keyboard settings. Having the joypad settings highlighted when exiting the option menu doesn't seem to have any effect at all. What am I doing wrong?

I am using a cheap controller that I found in a second hand store. It is a Rockfire USB Shuttle Vibra. Maybe it is too cheap? I will see if I can borrow another controller from a friend to see if it works better.

Following is the message from Tower57 Amiga version developer.
You must use the joypad to actually load / create a new game in the main menu, because the game will use the control method you use there in-game (so if you use keyboard/mouse in that menu.
