The intro was entirely too long for me. The AI voice didn't make it any better. I think this would have been much better if it were rewritten to be more concise, with text on the screen and an option to skip it.
I crashed on the first gate several time and didn't progress any further because I had no clue what to do to activate it. I tried spamming various arrow keys and they didn't seem to have any effect.
I really do not like having to switch between having my hand on the mouse and the arrow keys. Sure, it makes it difficult, but it's the bad kind of difficult where I feel like I'm fighting the controls instead of overcoming actual challenging gameplay.
