I love this game but it's so hard! The controls were really difficult for me, the game forces you to make quick moves but the button layout seemed confusing to me and I kept dying because I pressed the wrong button.
Yeah I havn't found a good solution for hex movement on keyboard; numpad is probably the most natural.
gamepad works alright. But I didn't have time to adjust the mouse controls, they work even wierder in this version. If I get time I'll fix the mouse controls. Try gamepad if you get a chance.
