Time to play this.
- Requires Directplay. Oh, I went through this with a friend recently. According to them you can use it to reduce/eliminate this annoyance. https://github.com/skyfloogle/gm8x_fix Apparantly it has to do with the online features. Still works when I hit Cancel.
- It took a bit to figure out what you wanted me to do in the first room. I didn't find it very intuitive because I find shift for run wierd.
- There doesn't seem to be any key rebinding to fix the awkward run key.
- Esc exits the whole game instead of bringing up a menu.
I can't deal with this level of difficulty with these awkward controls. It seems pretty good though! Keep up the good progress!
