its always heartwarming to see devs take on the monumental feat of developing anything funger inspired ,doing it indie as well is absolutely no joke at all rpgmaker engine or otherwise ,i wish the team all the luck they need.
do you keep pressing Q or is it 'boxed'? if you know what i mean ,if boxed imo there should be a shrinking red circle for me that indicates when exactly i should press that key ,otherwise its unfortunately too obtuse when exactly the key needs to be pressed ,look for an example in lisa the joyful iirc
