The game art is really cute and charming, but I couldn't really figure out the controls, I managed to move it up a bit. I think it's intentional for it to be this hard but I kind of almost threw my keyboard on the wall trying to move it up lol.

Thank's for playing and your feedback!
The bucket falls down if no key is pressed, I assume that is the issue you ran into. You can keep the previous key pressed when pressing the next one to avoid this. The idea was that you can crank it up, but sometimes have to crank it down or let it fall down intentionally (by releasing all keys) to evade the enemies. Basically simulating turning a handle and letting it go to let the bucket fall down. But I should have made a tutorial to get this better across and balanced the difficulty better
Thanks for your feedback!
