Really neat control scheme on this one. It adds a layer of difficulty that was sometimes frustrating but feels worth it because it left some variety in how you choose to play, I tried both figuring out the specific key i needed to hold in order to go somewhere and keysmashing half my keyboard like it was a giant D-pad to move in the general direction. The way of fighting back against the boss was also fun because it required moving into dangerous areas of the screen to do damage. Nice work!
