Thank you! You're the best, the demo on steam is the exact same build as you've found here on itch, but if you liked it, it would mean a ton if you'd swing by Steam and wishlist the full game - that way you'll also be notified when it comes out.!

You're not the first person to mention the controls/buttons and it's definitely something I will look into setting up as an option in the full release.
Thanks again!
