Thanks for your notes. Being my first game and game jam, I assumed players would read the page before jumping in, and I'm learning that isn't the case! So, something to do better next time for sure.
I agree PICO-8's font isn't the best, especially for something as text-heavy as I put together. Unfortunately, the web player doesn't allow remapping the buttons or it would have been WASD + space/enter for sure!
