I tried messing around with the controls you mentioned and cannot get past the combat tutorial still. For me, there are tons of buttons that aren't labeled, so that might be partly why. I tried using them and got status, items, stuff like that, but still could not find the thing that would let me continue the game. Not really sure what can be done here to make this doable though. Sorry, I can play games mostly like this, but coding or creating them is not something I can help with. The concept for the game is great though.
