So, what were the controls mapped to?

I can confirm that the controls are mapped to WASD and Arrow Keys, at least for me. The boat is only allowed to turn when its velocity is not zero, so left and right won’t do anything without first using forward to gain some speed. I hope this helps some. Otherwise, I’m at a loss as to why you’re able to start the game using Spacebar but unable to move using WASD.
