Yeah, I think controls has been the main complaint that we've seen. So if we update it after the jam we'll definitely look into alternative control schemes.

What's the actual scheme based on though? I remember some gameboy/ps1 simulator does use a ZXCV + directional arrow for control (z is usually dash and x is jump), though you can just remap it to your references
Honestly, I think it basically was based on Deltarune. SHIFT might have been a weird choice but the whole thing seemed to work better for me than it did for others.
EDIT: Based on Deltarune in the sense of using arrow keys and ZXC. Chapter 3 had does retro sections as well that made me want to make a Zelda-esque game as well.

Knowledge acknowledged. So that's where it stems from. Also I have a short shift keyboard (with a whole button between the shift and the zx button so it kinda makes it challenging as well), maybe that's partially why

Yeah funnily enough I actually am Swedish lol, my current keyboard just has ÖÄÅ in the same place but other stuff is different
