I really enjoy the inverted controls when traveling the other way but I do find it a bit tricky when you're put right back in the action after making a selection. Real fun little game and after thinking about it some more, it's actually kind of fun seeing when our fate's been sealed.
But perhaps you can add something in the settings where we can increase delay even if it's a split second. Moving my hand from my mouse onto my keys with great speed, I sometimes situate them on ESDF and wonder what happened to my accelerator pedal.
