The game is really polished looking and the dudes are really cute,
Had a hard time playing with keyboard though, I couldn't throw dudes in the right direction and would have appreciated it to be done with the mouse, with some sort of trajectory shown on the screen.
Overall really cool game!

Thank you for the feedbacks!
We thought about having a directional throw with preview and I think it would definitly be the better option for keyboard but we wanted the throwing experience to be more dynamic. The throw and movement are way better with a controller and it was the main input device we were targetting.
I think the best solution might have been to keep the current control scheme for the controller and make the direction of the throw dependant on mouse direction.
But event with this configuration k&m might have been way stronger than controller and we might have lost some dynamics we wanted to preserve (the player needs to move towards the hole to throw the dudes inside it but at high screen saturation this can lead to eating some unwanted dudes).
