It's always a breath of fresh air when there's a game that takes advantage of being able to set/disable keys on a keyboard and uses that as a workable gimmick for the player to play with! Out of Ctrl is a puzzle game where you have to move your keyboard keys around the screen in order to use them with most levels being about getting your ctrl key in the right spot in order to continue to the next level. Added to this is the ability to wrap around the screen in order to traverse walls placed in order to add more difficulty to the levels. While I felt that the general pace of the game was nice, the difficulty in it never really got to a point where the puzzles became too challenging

There weren't any bugs or glitches that I could find playing this; that being said, it would've been nice to be allowed more freedom on which keys can be used to continue, as well as which keys were used for movement (WASD is fun, but imagine something really quirky like TAVL).

All in all, I will always love games with this gimmick regardless of genre, and it just instills hope in me that there will always be new and interesting mechanics to be added in the future. Definitely check this game out!
