Hello. Thank you so much for playing our game and for writing your comment. The behavior you describe is correct. I think we missed a screen explaining the story prior to the game screen. The thing is that you crash your space ship into the planet, which makes the AI integrated in the main character's vehicle glitch sometimes. That is why approximately half of the times you can move in your desired axis and the rest of the times you will have to move in your undesired one (this is controlled so that the AI can not glitch a lot of times in a row). We thought this could make the game more interesting. We would like to apologize if you had a bad experience. Thank you again for your review, it really helped us a lot.
