The game does not recognise my keyboard, every key I press does nothing, mouse is working fine. Unable to skip intro. When I start the game the screen is black and I can only see the mouse cursor and hear music in the background. Has anyone figured out a solution?

Update: I have tried rebooting, I do have the SDL2 library installed. I have also tried using a game controller (generic xbox 360 controller) I run the controller with jstest, all keys were working fine. When I boot up the game, it acts as if I don't have a controller or keyboard still.

Also I am running Linux Mint 17 (with latest, as of writing this... updates) 32-bit. With a wireless Logitech MK320 keyboard.

Edit: My bad. Didn't see that it required manual installation of SDL2. That should've been a little more prominent in the description of the game or something. So your thing isn't about SDL. Sorry about that.

I can't skip the intro and when I get to the start menu, I cannot enter or exit the game. I can only check the settings menu then after 20 seconds or so the UI basically stops working. Clicking on back or any menu option does nothing. Ultimately have to Alt F4 to exit and nothing in settings is saved and I'm forced to watch the whole intro again.

There is already a discussion about the menu bug:

I am aware of that topic, in fact, I posted in it. This topic is not about the unity SDL menu bug, the solution there won't work for this problem!
