The specific keys used to drive the car are actually the challenge imposed by the game mini jam 74. We could only use A, X, B, P and Space. The theme of the jam is chaos. That's why the game is so difficult and counterintuitive. Thanks for playing my game and for your feedback!

Oh totally understand your feedback now and yes, you're kind of right. I tried to do half-half and play around making a game for the controller and making the controller adapted to the game. That's why I only used letters for the car movement and didn't use the 8 key at all. Thanks for your comment, it's always nice to have feedback for future projects :)
