If you think THIS game has klunky controls, I invite you to look at some of my OTHER games, which make this one look streamlined by comparison!
It was an attempt to have a "simplified" interface using a limited set of keys: Arrows, Space, Enter, Tab, and Esc, with the goal to also map to a game controller D-Pad, Space/Green, Esc/Red, Enter/Blue, Tab/Yellow.
Also, map was literally a last hour addition, and I put it in a place where I was most confident I could finish it within the time left.
