About the input registration, in the title (at the browser tab), it shows the framerate it's running, can you tell me how much it is for you? I am trying to think what else could it be, possibly the focus was not in the window the whole time somehow, I will try to use the Pointer Lock to be sure. And yeah, I really should work on the user interface/gameplay hints for the next iteration.
For the writing, I took quite some time editing with Chat GPT, to find the right tone, I would hardly be able to do without it.
