SO glad you got the Abe's Odyssey reference, it kept being in the back of my mind while I made this!!
Originally I wanted the coworkers to have "roles" too - like software developers could help you break through doors in the path, for example. Obviously scope creep lol but your comment made me think about that idea again!
Maybe I can implement a double control scheme that you can toggle in the settings, so people who are more comfortable with WASD can use that instead. I have a lot of fun myself dragging the mouse around because the pawn goes so fast, but I was tempted to implement WASD pretty much all week.
Thanks so much for this awesome review and for all the suggestions, my friend! I will definitely expand this beyond the jam. <3
