Thank you for trying it out! What made it more difficult to play with a 60% keyboard? It seems to me like the layout would be essentially the same (noone would use numpad anyways, and you only use x, c and the arrows anyways).
The keyboard I am using requires me to hold Fn key to use arrows, but holding the Fn key turns the normal alphabet keys to multimedia keys like pause, play etc. So I had to hold the Fn keys to use arrows and un-hold it to use C and X.
