Yeah I failed pretty hard at communicating the controls here, sorry about that! Backspace advances the text to the end and also goes back in the menu system, which can be accessed with TAB. I really appreciate all this feedback on the keyboard experience/issues, I never play platformers with a keyboard so I really need and appreciate the feedback here.
Full controls right now are:
- ENTER: Select (in menu), Advance Text (in dialogue)
- BACKSPACE: Back (in menu), Fast-Forward (in dialogue)
- SPACE: Jump
- Double-Tap Direction: Run
- TAB: Menu
- M: Map
I have been playing more with keyboard and haven't be able to duplicate any of the problems with stuck movement or dead input, but I'm going to keep trying, so thanks again for the heads up!
I just pushed an update where I started on a "Controls" section in the System menu, eventually I'm going to add key mappings. That seems like low hanging fruit so hope to have it done by next week.
