sorry but controls are terrible - why use the mouse when z,x would be perfectly fine when using arrow keys ?
makes it too hard to play on a laptop !
I was just coming down to make a similar comment, when I saw yours. I've seen a trend of this on itch lately actually, developers using the mouse just for another button, and yes, it makes a lot of itch platformers unplayable unless I decide to go hook up a mouse just to play a casual web game.
I asked another developer on this site about that a little while ago, and the response was seriously that he just didn't know what other control to use.
I really am curious though why so many games recently seem to be using the mouse to trigger effects that have no precision requirements. I wonder if it's just because new game developers now are just so used to mouse-controlled games that they just automatically associate "fire" with "left mouse" and don't think about the reasons why those games use the mouse for firing?
