I’m sorry that you had difficulty with the controls. I would have loved to implement a tutorial level to help get players more acclimated but it ended up getting cut for time constraints. Similar issue with letting the player map their own keybinds, which I imagine would have helped alleviate some frustration for you.
If using WASD, jump and shift is too close together for you, maybe try using arrow keys, Z, and X instead! I tried to make enough standard control options so everyone could be accommodated.
I’ll keep this critique in mind for future projects though, thank you for your honesty!
