Cool game, but

The controls on keyboard are really unintutitive X) I am assuming that you playtested this with a controller and mapped keyboard keys to whatever keys a controller might use, and the action key happens to be on the left side of the right joystick hence why you picked left arrow key to do things, but really it makes it super hard to navigate on keyboard X) maybe consider using different keys or letting users customize keys.

Thanks for the comment and for trying DIGGERGUN! I actually made the game on PC for keyboard and then added the controller support later!!!

On keyboard, your left hand should just rest quite naturally on the W,A,S,D keys and your right hand on arrow keys, occasionally reaching up to the menu keys.  Unless I'm missing something? I haven't tested it with other keyboards from other regions yet, so that could be the issue?  What region is your keyboard from?

I will of, course, add mappable keys in the future to allow for full control customisation for players in the future.

I have a french keyboard, we use ZQSD instead of WASD :p but that usually isn't an issue for me, I can easily switch between both. The issue is having to press LEFT to shoot

Great game, really awesome concept and i feel like i could spend a good hour playing it. Those keys though.... Jumping with down arrow scrolls my screen down lol

Thanks for playing and thank you even more for commenting! I'm glad you liked it!!!!

I get what people are saying now about the keys. I've enabled the "Full Screen" button in the right corner which should fix the issue. If anyone else has this issue then please go into full-screen mode. I'll look into putting in some sort of key-bindings soon.  My apologies for the issues, and sorry for not recognising it sooner!
