The mechanic is nice, but the keyboard controls are awful; they really ruin the game. Perhaps it's fine on a controller, but both should be good. Here are the controls, for those wondering how to play:
- Move with left and right arrow
- Jump with space
- Dash/pick up weapon with shift
- Attack by holding down ctrl
The issue is that you constantly have to adjust the position of your fingers. Though it is nice that both left and right shift/ctrl work. I propose this control mapping:
- Move with arrows or wasd
- Jump with space, up arrow or w
- Dash with shift
- Pick up with down arrow or s (or just automatically pick them up)
- Attack by holding down ctrl
