I confess that at my first (quick) play i thought: "very original idea and pretty pixel art, but also a bit awkward to control". Then i played a bit more and it became one of my favourite games of the jam.
Inspiring.

Sure, the controls may seem a bit awkward but this actually helps the gameplay a bit I think as it kinda forces you to use both hands for different actions which will in turn lead to slight confusion and require more thinking before pressing.
But if I were to make an actual polished game out of this it would probably have customizable keys. :)
Anyway, glad you like it for what it is. ^^
