FINAL HOURS: OZARK Under $10 + MAJOR M&K Patch!
BIG Mouse & Keyboard Patch + Final Hours Under $10
We've just rolled out a major quality-of-life update for mouse and keyboard players, addressing some of the biggest issues you've raised since launch.
We've been collecting feedback, and one of the biggest areas you've asked us to improve is aiming with mouse and keyboard.
This update brings significant improvements to cursor behavior, aiming, and target acquisition, making combat feel more natural, responsive, and forgiving.
And there's still time to grab OZARK for under $10!
Our launch discount ends TODAY, October 8, at 1:00 PM EDT.
10:00 AM PDT | 1:00 PM EDT | 6:00 PM UK (BST) | 7:00 PM CEST | 2:00 AM JST (October 9)
What's Changed
- Cursor stays on screen: Your mouse pointer is now confined to the game screen and no longer disappears while aiming.
- Independent aiming and movement: Aiming without a target lock no longer rotates your character. WASD controls movement and facing direction, while vertical mouse movement adjusts your aim.
- Freely acquire targets: Hold aim and move your cursor freely. Moving onto a target immediately acquires an aim lock without needing to release and re-engage.
- More forgiving aim locking: Improved target detection with additional tolerance around targetable objects, making enemies easier to acquire regardless of their depth or position on screen.
- Improved automatic target acquisition: When a target enters a small window directly in front of your character, the system can automatically lock onto the closest available target.
- Smoother overall combat: Moving, aiming, and switching between targets should now feel significantly more fluid.
A Little Note From Us
Mouse and keyboard didn't get quite the love it deserved, and that's on us.
While we still prefer playing OZARK with a controller, we recognize that plenty of players prefer mouse and keyboard, and that experience should feel good too.
We've been collecting feedback since launch, and these improvements directly address some of the biggest frustrations players have shared, particularly with cursor behavior and aiming.
We're a very small indie team, with some friends helping us along the way, and we're committed to continuing to improve OZARK.
