Thanks for the feedback! Which part of the controls annoys you the most?
If it's the fact that, to simply just move, you have to press another button while holding a direction, then that's the core of the game ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If it's how it forces you to use left hand for directions while some people prefer to have them on arrows, then I'd be willing to create a simple hack that allows the player to flip hands in future jam games.
If it's that binding actions to arrow keys is counterintuitive, then I agree, but also it's almost like playing a 3d game where arrows replace the mouse, and it's unbelievably comfortable once you get used to it
